    Micky Ward - Can't mention one without the other. Ward had, if anything, fewer gifts and a bigger heart. He had an unbreakable chin and unlimited heart. Loved watching him take two to give one, and he was a fearsome body puncher. Gotta love that.

    Muhammad Ali - Had the courage to stand by his convictions. And, obviously, an exceptional fighter.
    i agree with everything you say!

      Hatton - always give 110%, never gives up and is generally a funny guy.

          I forgot about Ricky! He can be a little boring to watch some times (like a mini John Ruiz), but you can't doubt his heart or how much he loves his fans. And he seems like a genuinely nice guy with a good sense of humor. I'm inspired to see someone be able to take (and make) a joke so well, even as famous as he is.

            Muhammed Ali for standing up for his convictions no matter what. For never giving up and conquering adversity. Ali inspires by being a good and beautifull human being inside and outside the ring.

            Roy Jones inspired me with his amazing once in a life time skills.

              Tito Trinidad-came from Cupey Alto, became one of the PR's greatest and still being the same guy, always helps other people and sometimes without any press covering, he's the most humble boxer ever.

                      Gatti is really inspiring with his pure willpower and natural toughness. Never giving up, never backing down no matter what. He deserved a better ending.
