    Really hard question to answer. Lots of tough guys, would be very hard to pinpoint the toughest, there's just been so many throughout the history of boxing.. Basillio, Marciano, Robinson, Hagler, Ross, Ali , McCullough, Dempsey, Greb to name a few. James J Corbett Vs Peter Jackson lasted 61 rounds. Thats's tough. Honarable mentions to men like Arthur Abraham and Marion Wilson..

    Duk Koo Kim deserves mention. Lots of very tough guys fought and died, because perhaps they were too tough.

    LaMotta, Gatti, Chacon, Chavez, Ward, Holyfield, Mancini, Deuk Kim... So many to name, those come to mind first for me.

    I don't put Duran in there because of the No Mas incident...

    I seem to be one of his few fans, he rarely gets mentioned in any thread.
