    Danny Williams vs Mark Potter.
    He won that fight by KO with a dislocated shoulder. He could have quit, but he dug deep and pulled it out.
    Arturo Gatti too many times to name, broken hand against Ward, taking beatings and comeback KO's.
    Recently: Provodnikov against Matthysse, Ruslan was so close to being stopped early, but never was dropped and fought all the way back to make it close.
    Old school: Rocky Marciano vs Ezzard Charles, Rocky's nose split in 2 pieces from an uppercut, but begs the ref for 1 more round (they would have stopped today) and wins by KO.

      Pretty much all the late Greb and Langsford matches as they fought legally blind in one eye for a portion of their career.

      In modern times, Corrales-Castillo, Pacquiao-Marquez 1, Klitchko-Peter 1, Holyfied-Bowe 1, and many of the Gatti and Gamez fights.

          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).
          Absolutely. If not for his corner Frazier was gonna go in to take a sure pounding in the 15th.

              Floyd vs Manny

              Floyd was severely dehydrated and close to death, even drinking water was out of the question...this man needed IV if he was to have a chance. He was still able to give PAC a run for his money.

                  JDJ was easily out boxing Castro before Castro from out of no where got the stoppage in the 9th. It was 1994 FOTY

                    I'll give props to Algieri in his fight against Pacquiao. I'd imagine most other fighters would have quit after being knockdown 6 (although I think 4-5 was mor e accurate) times.
