Oh yes. Battling Nelson was likely the toughest of them all.
A story I've posted before: Nelson once engaged in a headbutting contest. The 2 combatants had their hands tied behind their backs and then they went at it. The contest stopped when Bat's opponents scull cracked open.
Bat's toughness is legendary inside the ring as well as in lore as the story above.
Interesting.
In more recent times, I'd say Evander takes it, duke fought 10+ rounds after suffering a heart attack against a world class heavy. He fought with a separated shoulder, a bad heart, and while being the smaller man in most of his heavyweight fights.
