Fighters who took a lot of punishment

no one said mickey ward was never hard to find or ever in dull fight

 

Gatti for me. He was a badass

 

I go for Gatti(RIP king)he goes on and on,even getting beat up bad you will see him in his corner with the cutman working on his both eyes and still begging Buddy Mcgirt please give me one more when a boxer is in that situation and begs for one more round he still believes he can win the fight regardless of the situation at that moment.

 

To an extent, Mike Tyson. He toke a hellacious shot from Bonecrusher Smith, got pulverized by Holyfield in the 1st fight, Lennox Lewis fight, fought two wars with Ruddock, dominated & ko'd in the Douglas fight. love em or hate em that guy had heart to take all that punishment.

 

Mayorga toke a bit too. Mosley ko, stopped by DLH, toke bombs from Tito & Forrest.

 

Cotto has now taken 2 of the worst beatings I can remember seeing. Margarito took quite a beating from Shane also.

 

Absolutely!! how could I forget Mayorga??

 

Muhammad Ali. Had a large tear in the membrane that seperates brain from skull even before his last fight against Trevor Berbick.
