Gerry Penalosa - JML is Bigger, Younger and his last 3 opponents were kayoed in the 1st round. Gerry were landing a few but JML landed 3 times more. Roach stops it but gerry still wants to finish it. One of the best chin of all time.


Juan Manuel Marquez - Down 3 times and was able to salvage a draw. Big big heart.

Manny Pacquiao - Already psychologically beaten because the contract prohibits him to wear his beloved gloves againts Morales the 1st time. Got a huge cut with blood flowing above the eye from accidental headbut that was ruled "From a Punch" by afair and firm ref. Pacquiao would continue to engage and throw punches until the end.

yea one of the ones up top don't really fit the bill, i'm not even gonna bother lol

Bob Foster vs. Ali.......lost in the 8th round to Ali after being knocked down 7 times during the fight.

Tommy Morrison vs Joe Hipp - Tommy was exhausted and suffered a shattered jaw but still managed a knockout.

Shane Mosley vs Vernon Forest 1 - Severe headbutt that resulted in 2 knockdowns and was pretty much out of it the entire fight but hung in there til the end.

George Foreman completely getting outboxed and tiring down, only to pop a simple one, two and become the oldest champion, also another great example of Foreman was his fight with Holyfield
