Boxers who could take a merciless beating and still win

Randall Tex Cobb
A granite chin in any era.

 

Another Bazooka is Bazooka Limon.

That fight vs Boza was slightly close,if he didn't waste his chances on the two final rounds he might be able to win,but again he might've been too tired to rally longer.

 

Lamon Brewster took a pretty good beating before flipping the script on Wlad in their first fight.

 

any1 remember David Izon(ritei)? Lou Savarese & Derrick Jefferson sure do.

 

Another might be Sugar Ray Leonard losing on the cards vs Hearns and Lalonde then knocking them out.

Can’t believe no one mentioned Dempsey. Tough as nails.

 

Antonio Margarito …I can hear the boos ….but it’s true

Lee Roy Murphy

 

Muhammad Ali, in "The Thrilla in Manilla" deserves a mention. He felt close to death, had vision problems, and thought about quitting, from the beating he took, but rallied to win the fight against Joe Frazier.

 

Jeffries is among the most durable. His best victories, against Fitzsimmons (II), Corbett (I), Sharkey (II) are demonstrations of conditioning and extraordinary resistance.

He remained on his feet until the 15th round, with many cuts on his face, in a horrendous heat, continuing to advance against the mouth of the cannon, with blood dripping down to his legs ...
