Just post Eubank's name already..

Well Eubank did have the ability to clear his quickly, but lacked endurance/stamina.

To me its Foreman..look he did get knocked out by Ali but overall he was very tough. So tough and durable in fact..that won the HW belt at 40/50 something yrs..old..dont remember..And look what he's done after the ring..the fat man..has sold millions of FAT REDUCING grills..thats just genious..showing he has no last effects from boxing.

I didn't read the whole thread not sure if FOREMAN was mention.
Foreman was ny far the most durable. He fought every one, even won a world title at 45, he has no defects, speaks very well. No one matches foreman for the most durable.

I didn't include Foreman as durable because in his prime, he got KD by ali, and didn't have it together mentally, he was not KO'd, but he let himself get counted out and then got up and walked off to his corner. That is not durability...that is fragile mindedness

aside from that tho, yea, hes a ****ing wrench

yes, he lost that fight, but thats 1 fight over a 30year career, how many fighters make it 30 years, only being stopped Once. then coming back at 45 to win the title, thats durability at its best.

Oh, don't think im trying to discredit george foreman. just like im pretty sure you do (if i remember correctly, ) out of all the fighters who ever put on the gloves, i consider him number one, in chin, stamina, power, technique, footwork, will, and general ring intelligence..

But the fact that he was up at 9 and walked off just makes me not want to put him in there as a durable fighter, if u dont have it mentally u dont have it at all. again i realize this was vs ali, the best fighter at the point in time. i think my idea of durability differs from yours is all it is. i consider a durable fighter to get up if hes conscious and is moving coordinatingly.


picture a fighter who was hella durable then quit in his prime in his biggest fight. that's almost george foreman, he kind of quit by waiting for the count then walking off.as muchas i admire the dude its the truth.

yeah i'm sure thats all it is. Because i view it as someone who can last through the years, and still put on a good fight, win or lose. some like ross purrity.

Was Marvin Hagler the most durable fighter of all time? He was able to take so much punishment and never been seriously hurt and retired with no serious injuries.

I agree on Hagler,Hearns broke his right hand hitting Hag's hard head :P , Prob also George Grill Foreman

[trinidadpr87]

Rocky Marciano,Marvin Hagler and Evander Holyfield are my top three.
