Steve Prefontaine the famous runner from Oregon used to run every race as hard as possible even if it werent the smart way to run a race because he couldnt deal with the fact that a mediocre effort could get a win while a terrific effort could get a loss. He poured his blood, sweat, and tears into every race even if it was against subpar competition. I would love to see more boxers with that type of attitude towards the fights they participate in.
