It was Norton who broke Ali's jaw. I looked it up.

Erik Morales has to be mentioned as one of the toughest , he took some huge punishment without going down until Pacquiou 2. And Matthew Saad Muhammad was super tough.

^^^ I thought Ali broke his jaw vs. Ken Norton...I could be wrong. Maybe, I can't remember, still an amazing performance in both fights though. Boxers were tough as nails in the past.

I agree with those saying Marquez is among the toughest. Tua should be included too.

Ali was a fvcking warrior in and out of the ring. Out of the ring he had to deal with vicious racists, people disrespecting him left and right, people rooting for him to lose, death threats, etc. millions wanted this man to die, he wasn't seen as human by many people. "X-rays of his severely swollen jaw would eventually show Ali’s jawbones were separated by a quarter of an inch. However, at the time, Ali was actually released from the hospital after 40 minutes and left without any bandages." Going 15 rounds with a broken jaw against an ATG puncher in Frazier. Thrilla in Manila was insane, going 14 rounds in an absolute war is extremely impressive, but don't forget the fact that they were fighting outside in 100 degree weather with 90% humidity! That was back in the fvcking 70's when they didn't have the technology they did today either, the training techniques, diet/nutrition etc. I can't think of a single boxer that could do what Ali did in those conditions, and he's a HW! Those same exact conditions were present in Rumble in the jungle. Yes Ali was very tough, but Frazier was fighting against him and Ali was ready to quit where as Frazier wanted to keep fighting until Futch stopped the fight. Both fighters are legends.

Gotta go with Wayne Pocket Rocket Mccullough. Took an insane amount of shots from big punchers, and I don't think I ever saw him hurt. Even the TKO against Larios, the doctor had to save him from himself, He was gettin a beatdown but really wasn't close to getting stopped. I remember reading somewhere that Waynes skull was 2x as thick as a normal persons.

In past...Ali.

Today...probably Marquez...then Rios.

YOUR mom, she can take a serious pounding

Some good posts here.

Marg was a known cheater so his toughness was probably attributed to this illegal substance he was taking his whole career. Sorry to burst your bubble. :sad: Holy **** Maniac he's ****ting on your idol really hard. :chairshot

Among those not mentioned yet, Juan LaPorte. This guy fought a lot of great fighters and great punchers and has never been knocked out or down. Guys like Salvador Sanchez, Eusebio Pedrosa, Rocky Lockridge, Wilfredo Gomez, Barry McGuigan, Julio Cesar Chavez, John John Molina, Azumah Nelson, Kotsya Tzsyu

Sure not the toughest, but Emanuel Augustus was a very tough man, iron chin, great will.

Carmen Basilio or Gene Fullmer. Nice avatar pic.
