    Antonio Margarito deserves to be in this list . If anybody else won't say it , I will .

    Do you feel Margarito is worthy ? He's one of the most durable/Tough WW we will ever witness .

    All are nail-tough, but I'd rate Leonard as being among the mentally toughest fighters of all time.

    Durability in general. So, the ability to absorb and recover from flush shots to the head and body without going down.

    If the aforementioned fighters are in the tier 1 class of toughness/durability, I think they would sit somewhere in tier 2.

    Floyd and toughness doesn't belong in a serious sentence. This guy is afraid of his health vs an Asian midget :lol:.

    Not sure how to rank them based on the criteria of being "welterweights in their prime".

    Chavez had one of the best chins of his era, but was not at his best at welter and his durability at that weight is less proven than at 130-140. Burley rarely fought at welterweight and peaked between 154-160, and was never stopped despite having well over a dozen fights against HOF fighters. He took bombs from Charles, Moore and Marshall, but it wasn't as a welterweight.

    It's pretty unfair to list Pacquiao among them. He is obviously at the ass end of that list for what he's done at WW compared to the others. One of the handful of fights (relative to his entire career) he has had there was a savage KO.

    That's racist.

    Please come up with something new and original. Thanks.
