gutsiest

Having most nerve

Gutsiest is the superlative of gutsy—having the most courage, boldness, or nerve.

The word carries admiration for daring that borders on recklessness: That was the gutsiest call I've ever seen a coach make.

It suggests not just bravery but a willingness to risk failure or embarrassment.
