    Chris Eubank had a big heart, his chin was abnormally good which meant he had the ability to soak up knockout punches and fire straight back, but also meant he took a lot of punishment - especially in the first Benn, Calzaghe and first Thompson fights. In the second Watson fight his adrenalin stopped running after six rounds and Watson's strength was abnormal that night, so Eubank had to go through the pain barriers but would of rather been carried out than quit.

    Actually, maybe it was more stubborness/craving acceptance with Eubank.

    The states he was left in after the first Benn, second Watson and first Thompson fights were dreadful.

    Nobody thought they'd see anybody stand up to Benn's bombs. Man.

        The reason I say Grim is that these other guys at least had some kind of talent or punching power to encourage them that they had a chance. Grim had no defense, punch, quickness, footwork, or anything but a chin, ridiculous heart and courage, and windmill aggression.

            Actually, Eubank DID quit in the Watson fight (that's why his adrenalin stopped running).. but stayed there to take his beating as a matter of "integrity".

                    That is the least correct response you could have picked.

                                saying whos got the most heart in history is sort of unfair to the real courageous fighters who dont get to be mentioned. but my choice is definatly joe frazier. he got his ass mangled by george foreman and he wouldve kept getting up no matter how many times he was dropped.

                                thrilla in manila fight was also a teriffic display of how much heart frazier (and ali) had.

                                i dont like to say whos got the most heart of all time, but smokin' joe's got my vote.

                                        Boxing's best kept secret? Not even he knows he has it?
