Who in the history of boxing, regardless of their record had the biggest heart?
Names like Michael Carbajal, Diego Corrales and Evander Holyfield immediately came to mind, their tenacity and will to win was bigger than life. I have huge respect for Muhammad Ali as well, his effort against Norton with a broken jaw over ten rounds was almost as impressive as the fact that he got up after Frazier pole axed him with that massive left hook in the Garden. Then there is Rocky Marciano, a man with at best mediocre physical tools, but the will to win beyond anything I can describe. Rock found a way to be the only true undefeated heavyweight champion in boxing history against arguably far more skilled opposition, and Marciano wasn’t really a true heavyweight. Rock had a 68 inch reach, and a heart as big as humanity, simply one of the very best to ever lace up the gloves. Between Ali, Holyfield and Marciano, I really can’t pick the one with the biggest heart, but I can say this…..few others in history showed more heart than these three. Gold, Silver and Bronze will always
