Who do you think are the top 5 toughest guys in boxing today? Reasons would be cool.
1. Vitali Klitschko = The name says it all.
2. Jesus Soto Karass = This guy feels no pain, granite chin, heart of a lion. You could hit him with a fcuking sledgehammer & this beast would shake it off & still come at you with a psychotic look in his eyes.
3. Erik Morales.
4. James Toney.
5. Randall Bailey = Many will disagree because he has a fairly fragile chin & is limited but he won't quit, he don't give up & I've seen this guy several times be put on Queer St to come back & absolutely decapitate someone with that thunderbolt straight right. Just when you think he's done - BAMMM!

terrible list
Malignaggi fought with a broken jaw and orbital bone against Cotto. The man may not be able to punch but he is as tough as they come.
Randall Bailey? Him quitting against Cotto was one of the more underrated disgraceful surrenders. Guy was getting beat up pretty bad and had a little paper cut over his eye and pleaded with the doctor to stop it.

Chavez, Frazier, Duran, De la hoya etc weren't tough either....
Frazier quit? When? Against Ali his corner stopped it Frazier wanted to keep going but Futch stopped the match so Ali won.
