How about Micky Ward? This guy is 'Mega Tough!' The beating he took from Arturo Gatti in their rubber match with Gatti landing 300+ power shots. And for Mick to be standing at the final bell is incredible.
Anyone see the post-fight video from their third fight when Ward and Gatti are taken to hospital for observation? Ward looked like a truck ran him over! The guy has steel Cojones.
Short list includes: Jake La Motta, Frtize Zivic, Tony Zale, James Toney, Arturo Gatti, Marquez brothers, Jeff Harding, Jeff Fenech, Harry Grebb, Sam Langford.Comment

Oh my God! How could I forget Chico Corrales? Here was one really tough cookie! He defines the meaning: "A champion is someone who gets up when he can't!" The way Chico got up from two 'very' nasty knock downs to stop Castillo is phenomenal. What a 'Warrior.'

Even against a 170 pound Clottey, Corrales never stopped thinking he can win.Oh my God! How could I forget Chico Corrales? Here was one really tough cookie!

This. I've never seen, and probably will never see, anyone so relaxed in the ring. Though this has changed a bit now that he is so old and has more and more to worry about. At least imo.
Joe Frazier should be WAAAY up there too; how many other fighters could gather the mental strength to rise and take massive bombs from Foreman again and again and again...even though it was so obviously futile? And of course the "Thrilla"...enough said.Comment

Glen Johnson, for a guy with no great natural ability he manages to break down fighters with less work ethic and determination....it says somethingComment
Toney would fight ANYBODY, anytime. Still will, but can't.
