TOP 5 toughest fighters of alltime and top 10 biggest hearts
Posted: 05 Jun 2005, 17:57
Heres my list:
1. Rocky Marciano- I got to give it to the rock, For getting his nose sliced open with blood pouring everywhere and he jumped out of his stool and KOed charles. most fighters would have quit right their. getting cut only made him angrier and tougher. He also feared no one.
2. Roberto Duran- This guy was born to fight. He had a kilelr attitude and wanted to tkill the other man. No one messed with duran. The guy ripped into and slugged it out with everyone.
3. Fritzie Zivic- the dirtiest fighter of all time. He made sure he left the figth with the other guys faced bashed from elbows and headbuts. The guy always looked for a scrapple, and took hard shots and threw any kind of blow that would tear up his opponents face, no sympathy
4. Marvin Hagler- The guy had a killer attitude in and outside the ring. even when the fight was over, he didnt want to talk to the other boxer. inside, he had a mentality of destruction and the guy could take a punch as well as deliver one. No one wanted to tangle with hagler.
5. Aaron Pryor- the guy gets knocked down, and he bounces up and runs after u taunting u and scaring u have to death. he feared no one and put the fear into opponents. He could take punches too and too many hard blows from allexis arguello and always wanted to brawl it out with u. Hes as tough as they come mentally and physically.
HM: Arturo gatti- He deserves mention because he was in some of the best fights in the nineties. He would just run in taking what ever blows nessecary to land his own. His trilogy with ward is an example, as well as with ivan robinson. The guy could take pounches as wel las anyone and didnt care if his face was a mess.
ANYONE OTHERS THAT IM MISSING THAT BELONG HERE?? LAMOTTA??
top 5 biggest hearts
1. SUGAR ray robinson- When he started to age, he went from immortal to very good. He lost his middleweight title many times but every time he lost he would always win the title back in a rematch. Never give robinson a rematch, cause he will beat u every time. He could have just gave up all those times but he came back strong to beat those guys in a rematch. He also fought in 105 degrees till he could no longer stand up.
2. Sam Langford- this guy had heart enough to step up two weight classes and fight the best heavyweights, because no middleweight wanted to fight him. He still was only knocked out 9 times in over 400 bouts and he usually facedm uch larger men, but he beat most of them anyway.
3. Sugar ray Leonard- his comeback win over duran, and stoppage of tommy hearns when losing on points, and his win over unbeatable marvin hagler after a 3 year ring absence are enough alone to show how much heart he has. He was a superior boxer, but he also had heart.
4. Evander Holyfield- This guy is all heart. the only time he got stopped early in his career against bowe was when HE WAS HAVING A HEART PROBLEM !! LOL. He had a 15 war with Qawi and when everyone said he couldnt do it, he upset mike tyson. He always fought hard until he couldnt fight anymore and possesed heart of a champion.
5.Larry Homes- he was a lot more heart than skill. He had a numerous fights where he was behind or in trouble but he always fought hard and won those last rounds because he had so much heart. He showed by getting up from shavers right hand, and surviving trouble from snipes, norton, weaver, and bonecrusher.
6. Julio cesar chavez- The guy didnt get knocked down until his 91st fight and beat some ferousios men in epic battles. he refused to lose and he stopped a peak and upstart medrick taylor with 2 seconds left in a fight he would have lost had taylor suvived. He fought hard in every fight and is a mexican idol and hero.
7. rocky Marciano- alsways showed true heart. Walcott outboxed him for 12 rounds then marciano needing a KO to win, knocked walcott out. He had one more round to KO ezzard because his nose was bleeding so bad and he forgot abouth is nose and Koed charles. He also got tougher as the ifth got along and his best rounds were the championship roounds.
8. Muhammad Ali- he was given no chance to beat liston or foreman yet he knocked them both out. He showed a lot of heart in doing that, and down against lyle, he stopped lyle in the 11th. He was never knocked out and always got up from a knockdown ioncluding a devastating frazier left hook. He possesed a champs hear all the way. He fought for 11 rounds with a broken jaw against norton.
9. Jake La Motta- this guy showed heart in every fight always wanting to slug it out and take heavy punches. He had a granite chin, and his whole face was butsed up aagisnt robinson, but he refused to go down and the ref had to stop the fight. agaisnt Larentille Dauthille,, He wwas losing the fight on points and with 13 seconds to go in the fight, he knocked out larentille!!!
10. Mickey Walker- he didnt care who was in the opposite corner, big or small. He fought a war with harry greb, and took on heavyweights and beating bearcat wright, a fighter a foot taller and 100 pounds heavier. he got knocked down 7 tiomes against schmelling but got up each time. He tangled with everyone and always was looking for a rumble.
