Biggest Display of Heart?

Frazier got to be one of the fighters who had shown the biggest heart.
In his fight with Ali in Manila, the guys mouth and nose were bleeding, his eyes were almost shut close and his whole face was completely "deformed and swelling" but yet he refused to quit.
It was Frazier's corner who gave up it up not him.Comment

you could of just watched the first Frazier vs Foreman fight, where Joe kept getting knocked down and getting up, despite looking badly hurt and going up against GEORGE FOREMAN...Comment

That's right, another instance where "smoki'n Joe" displayed his tremendous fighting heart.Comment

"Fatigue makes cowards of us all" -Vince Lombardi
It's terrible when you have to fight with some fatigue, let alone having very little left in the tank...you just want to lay down and go to sleep...your mind starts to tell you, "**** this, that mat looks like a bed, lets lay down and close our eyes"...every punch starts to hurt, even if the fighter doesn't have that much power...your body is just a mess, you feel like jellow, and you are open for a knockout.Comment

Exactly. What impressed me in that fight is Frazier was knocked down as many times as he was and after the last knockdown, which looked vicious, he got up and was ready to go for more.Originally posted by Abe Attellyou could of just watched the first Frazier vs Foreman fight, where Joe kept getting knocked down and getting up, despite looking badly hurt and going up against GEORGE FOREMAN...Comment
