Mentally tough fighters? who are they and why?

[BennyST]

Chris Eubank was also very tough mentally. And Nigel Benn, since he had no problem whatsoever with going to America and fighting all the top challengers there. At least in the beginning he did.

He didn't show too much toughness against Watson. Benn that is. I completely agree on Eubank though.

Someone mentioned Calzaghe, and I also agree on that a lot. He had a will that refused to allow the other guy to win no matter what. That's why he was such a great champion. His will more than anything I think.

James Toney is very courageous always going toe-to-toe with anyone in any weight class he fought.
