who was your toughest fighter in boxing?

[Boogie Nights]

boxing is a tough sport, and it takes a tough individual to climb in that ring. naturally all boxers are tough, however there are some fighters who have their own unique, heart wrenching way of displaying their guts in more a graphic way. as a fan, who do you consider being tough as nails, wouldnt take no for an answer, kept coming forward and rolling with punishment, scoring hail marys, succeeding as an underdog

to me the names that come to mind are diego corrales, took on all comers, what he lacked in the chin department he always made up with his fists and his first fight with castillo speaks volumes of his true nature as a survivor and a fighter.
george foreman, coming back after 2 knockdowns to ko lyle. taking a beating for 9 rounds and over coming the adversity with a single right hand at 45 years old. and overall having the guts to climb into the ring at the age when fighters call it quits. an old man taking a beating from young guys.
harry greb who fought the last part of his career blind in one eye. a middleweight fighting heavyweights
joe frazier obviously.

who's your choice? past or present, doesnt matter whether championship caliber or just a club fighter. toss in a name

Roberto Duran

you just named my favourite lightweight of all time. i love duran top 3 P4P list easy.

i was going to include him, but his second leonard fight made me rethink that decision. i always thought that duran would fight to death, and to this day it's not clear to me what happened, maybe duran doesnt even know himself. some say stomach cramps, but it looked to me that leonard frustrated him to the max. but who knows


but duran always came to fight, except for that night

julio cesar chavez sr was a tough bastard until he got old, but even then he was still down to go toe to toe. everyone knows there's gatti, you can always watch one of his fights to see some action, i would say gotti's the most exciting boxer in history imo. there are many fighters that fall in this catagory.

oh **** almost forgot, johnny tapia was another badass in and out of the ring. hands down tapia tops the list

o **** that's right gatti, i forgot to put him in. the king of comebacks.

chavez was a tough son of a ***** too, havent seen those roots of toughness from his son yet. he's going with soft opponents, he needs a taylor to test his heart.
