    What is the biggest display of heart in a boxing match?

    Name a particular fight where a boxer showed what he is made of. His character. His heart. His courage. His spirit.

        Floyd fighting Shane and Manny, 2 guys he was deathly afraid of according to NSB. The kind of heart, courage and guts it takes to step into the ring against men you are deathly afraid of.

        I would say Figueroa v Arakawa is a good example.

            Manny Pacquiao fought with an amputated right arm and only half a brain vs Mayweather and still was almost able to win 1 or 2 rounds.

              Ali vs Frazier III

              Both guys deserve huge credit for fighting in those conditions alone, but Frazier especially for continuing even when almost completely blind (swelling on one eye, almost blind in the other).

                  In terms of recent fights, I could not agree more.

                  Khan should get huge credit against Maidana and even Gracia, when he just kept getting back up. Let's not forget Danny Williams and his dislocated shoulder or AA and his broken jaw.

                  These are the ones that stick out for me in the last 10-15 years or so.
