Moments that show courage in a fighter

[Terry A]

When I think of courage in a fighter, the first example I think of is Joe Frazier.
Remember when he fought Foreman the first time. Joe was looking UP at Foreman during the ref's instructions and was not giving any signs of fear. And once the bell sounded, ol' Joe just keep coming and going down. And coming and going down. He kept getting up 6 times against George Foreman!! He was ALL HEART and I think that heart showed before the fight in his "stare up" at Foreman.

I think Gerald McClelland showed unbelievable heart and courage to keep fighting as long as he did against Nigel Benn before he collapsed and lapsed into the coma.

Larry Holmes winning the WBC Hvywt fight against Ken Norton with a torn bicep.
