In no particular order...Adamek,Froch,JMM,Maidana,Katsidis..Just my opinion and 5 off the top of my head. Keep in mind, it's about toughness, not skill. If skill, poor ol Kats wouldn't sniff it lol
If we're talking about toughness against elite fighters.
I'd have to agree with a lot of lists here Katsidis, Maidana, Marquez, Froch, but i'll add Ward in there too.
Katsidis is like the modern day Gatti.
Mikkel Kessler, Arthur Abraham, and Chad Dawson all deserve mentions as well. I guess it all depends on your definition of toughness. I know a lot will disagree with Dawson being tough, but his first fight against Johnson, his fight against Diaconu and Hopkins II showed he's one of the toughest fighters out there against multiple styles.
Pacquiao didn't show ANY toughness against Mosley and Bradley. Before that it was all toughness, but doesn't seem so anymore with his religious transformation.
Khan is on a list???

-Marquez
-Maidana
-Margarito
