I would say Frazier had one of the biggest heart's in boxing. His style, his attitude, his work ethic, his take 2-3 punches to land 1 mentality are probably unmatched in the history of the sport...maybe Marciano or Basilio come closest to matching it. To walk right through a punch that sent his mouthpiece flying into the 5th row shows he had the ability to weather some pretty hard punches.
The tenacity of Frazier is what is missing from all levels of boxing at the moment...I couldn't name many top teir fighters that embody what Frazier brought to the ring.
