Toughest fighter of all-time?

[chopper77]

67 Rounds!! Man that is nuts. That's 201 minutes of punching, or avoiding punches.

Toughest fighter of all time

Dempsey,Greb,Basilio,Lamotta,Marciano,Ali,Duran,Fu llmer.Oh,and how about John L Sullivans 75 rounds with Jake Killrain? Some tough SOBs for sure I know theres many more. Best,Brandon sommerfeld.

Why is Marciano on this list period?I could name 100's of fighters tougher than he is.I am a big Foreman fan and he isnt on this list.Tough is Chuvalo.Look at the greats the man fought and never went down.Ali twice.Foreman Frazier.Quarry,Bonavena,Ellis ect ect ect.Chuvalo fought the best there was and never backed down and was never knocked down.Ali could not say the same Foreman could not Frazier could not Lamotta could not.Chuvalo is the only heavyweight who could say he fought the best and was never dropped so you have to give the man some props on that.

Again why is Marciano even mentioned?Troy you have to be white.all of the fighters you just named were white.Dempsey was knocked out in the first round so that takes him off the list.Maricano was knocked down by a natural middleweight so he is off the list.
I forgot about Wayne Mccollough i think you spell his name like that.I don't believe he was ever knocked down either.And just because fighters from back in the day went alot of rounds dont mean they were tough.Fighters back then didnt throw that many punches and i know at one point in time the round ended when ever a fighter was either knocked down or pushed down.
Chuvalo,McCollough,fighters of that sort.Guys who fought their whole careers without being knocked down.I don't know why every time a white guy makes a post he has to find a way to pull Maricano out his ass.A tough fighter doesn't get knocked down with one punch by a man who is naturally a middleweight(Moore)A tough fighter doesnt duck fighters because they knocked him out as a amateur (Corley Wallace)A tough fighter isnt blasted out in one round like Dempsey did by a fighter like Flynn who had 27 loses at that point in time.

So, Tommy Hearns 465u4 you don't consider the guy who's name you've borrowed tough? The thread said, "toughest", not who can take the most punishment. What about the one's who can take it, come back and dish it ... in spades? Like Marciano!

I stand by Greb though ... also Tony Zale. "The Man of Steel!"

marcaino was tough there is no arguing with that he never lost and he never was knocked out he only got knocked down becuase he threw punches awkward and got hit while off balance remember he got up in 2 and i think 3 seconds each time he got knocked down. Now Dempsey he was tough a mean mother ****er i just thought he was tough becuase i heard he tied himself to the rails on the bottom of a train now thats tough if he fell it would be instant death.Now Chuvalo theres no mistaking hes tough for those other guys you talked about i never heard of them i will be honest....and yes i do harbor certain fellings for white athletes jessus christ im white would it be wrong for a mexican to like mexican fighters?But i did forget one tough white guy at least he was tough in the fight i seen adn that was chuck wepner vs ali

[BlockBuster]

Marciano and Frazier. Can't forget Dempsey.
