It was impressive the way he stood up to Sam Peters.
The upper tier of durability in boxing for me is, Eubank Senior, Tua, Tyson, Holyfield, Foreman, Muhammad Ali, Carl Froch, Joe Calzaghe etc I could list more, I am sure somebody else will mention other fighters.
Then there is a tier just below the super elite in boxing. I would actually put Lennox Lewis at this level, he fought and beat all the biggest punchers of the 90's.
He had a great chin. Even the great, monster puncher Lucas Browne could not put a dent in him, so had to settle to use his superior boxing skills to outbox Toney 120-108. Nash out.

Eubank Sr would get knocked out by Holyfield and Sam Peter. Are you kidding? Nigel Benn dropped Eubank badly.
Can't argue with Toney. He withstood some heavy leather over a very long career. He was very good at rolling with punches but he also had a helluva chin for whenever they landed clean.
