    Winky is a pretty tough dude. Also Berto showed some serious toughness and heart against Collazo. He left everything in the ring, and thats why in my view he deserved the win a little more then Collazo.

            The Margarito fight also showed his toughness. His body had nothing left and he couldnt even physically stand anymore. WHen he was going backwards his legs were shaking. But apparently thats the same as quitting on this board.

                JMM is extremely tough, he came back from 3 knockdowns and a broken nose vs pacquiao to arguably win the fight

                james toney showed great toughness in the jirov fight also

                  Paulie Malignaggi.

                  Paulie can't crack an egg, but he still keeps going after getting hit with big shots even though he can't turn a fight around, and his only option is too win more rounds. That takes all kinds of toughness.

                    The fact that James Toney can't be put down by these big heavyweights while he's only a fat shell of what he once was as a supermiddleweight proves how tough he is. Now if only he'd retire before he becomes another Ali/Taylor type...
