Top 5 fighters you think are least likely to quit.

Who are the ones that quit? The perceived slugger "tough guys" (Duran, Chavez, Tszyu, etc).

So my list goes:

Winky Wright
Roy Jones Jr.
Bernard Hopkins
Omar Weis
Zab Judah

[Kid Achilles]

If you're going to include old timers, then you're going to have to add Marciano and Foreman who were both even tougher than Foreman. Dempsey was down in an early fight a ridiculous amount of times, close to a dozen, and he proceeded to keep getting up until he finally knocked his opponent out. This was when he was still a teenager. There was no quit in Dempsey.

Speaking of Dempsey and his career, Willard also showed remarkable grit continuing to fight on with all of the facial and body damage Dempsey inflicted on him. It was obvious that he had no chance after the first thirty seconds of the fight, yet he continued to get up hoping he could somehow wear Dempsey down.

Honestly, you could probably take a few hundred guys who fought prior to 1950 that would be much much tougher than anyone mentioned here so far. When you are fighting just to eat (remember that there wasn't even a welfare program for impoverished people back then) you will fight on through circumstances that would make a sensible wealthy fighter say enough is enough.

The reason guys like Winky, Bernard, Roy never quit is because they never have to because they never got hit. Not quitting is obviously more of a task for guys like Gatti, Morales, JLC, Toney, Corrales, McCullough etc..
