| ive been watching boxing probably before many posters here were born..i marvel at the mastery of the great willie pep the greatness in everything of a sugar ray robinson the pwer of a marciano tyson and others but the one trait i admire the most is a fighters heart..there are fighters whos abilty truly is extremly far from elite status or greatness but there heart ranks up there as special..heart is there from the begining i feel and there all the way to its end..it has no prime or time limit on prime..the heart is constant threwout a fighters career.either you have it or dont..and its not for a fight or two.. marciano may of wrote the book on heart or defined it but there are many i view as co-authors with heart that desreves that status...basilio lamotta gatti chuvalo robinson frazier and yes ali even though he tried to quit in the first liston fight i chalk that up to inexperience not the heart for he had a great one..harry greb was another mickey walker also....what are your thoughts..whats the greatest trait you admire in a fighter.. | |

| Joe Frazier in the third fight with Ali, he was fighting with one eye. |

| gotta agree
Holyfield said in a interview, a fighters chin = the size of his heart, he basically said, it hurts like shit when you get hit but its the will power to maintain and say I am staying up. | |
