Fighters that fought through injury in boxing history...

[$Bullsfam$]

The Foreman-Cotto fight inspired me! haha Foreman showed so much heart. He was outclassed but never quit. Name some classic cases of this from boxing past?

I made this thread quite awhile back, got some good responses: http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=173307

Barbados Joe Walcott fought a lot of his fights with a hand which was seriously messed up after a gun accident, it was threatened to be amputated but it was saved, Walcott was obviously not the same boxer after but he was still ko'ing people who were much larger and he never gave up.

Read up on the Joe Gans - Battling Nelson fight to hear about heart, Nelson was downed in the 8th and 15 th round and fought through to the 43rd where both of his eyes were closed, cuts all over his face, lips and blood coming out of his ears.

Sam Langford, Harry Greb and Joe Frazier fought quite a alot of fights with virtually only one eye.

Charley Zivic had a metal plate in his right arm and elbow due to a childhood accident, he could only bend his arm around 5 - 7 inches.

Countless people have broken limbs and continued fighting.

Tommy Morrison knocked out Joe Hipp after suffering a broken hand and broken jaw.

Naturally hand injuries are common in boxing. Roy Jones, Arturo Gatti, and Floyd Mayweather have all won fights with injured hands.

Bernard Hopkins dislocated his shoulder against Antwun Echols. Went on to defeat him. Also, Tyrell Biggs injured his right shoulder against Jeff Sims. Fought the majority of the fight with just the left jab, winning a decision.

Arthur Abraham's first win over Edison Miranda with his jaw broken in two places has to be up there, the guy was fighting while blood leaked out from his mouth like a gusher.
