    I’m not saying best (I could), I mean tough. He is one of the most aggressive and offensive fighters of all time, he always goes forward and when he gets caught he always shows “Come on, bring it on” Iron chin, brutal stamina etc.
    I really like his body talk in the ring.

    Of all time?

    I hope you're trolling, for your sake and the sake of your family.

    Tell me tougher guys.

    If you would be in a street fight and you would have to choose a boxer to help/protect you, you would choose GGG.

    He says “Come on, bring it on” against bums with pitiful stoppage rates like Willy Munroe Jr.

    When he fights the elite , like Canelo , they say “Come on, bring it on” to him..

    Why's that? Cos he hasn't the gonads or toughness to mix it up with guys he knows are capable of hurting him.

    So no , he isn't even as tough as Canelo Alverez , and i wouldn't consider Alveraz to be an all time great in the toughness department . :cool1:

    Hard to tell with him having not gotten hit by a huge puncher, and the guys who had decent power for the weight never landed with any consistency.

    Bro, there are too many to list all time.

    Active fighters alone I would choose Wilder, Joshua, Fury, Usyk.

    Remember Canelo being tougher than GGG, even in the rematch. In the 12th round when Canelo dares G to stand toe to toe and GGG continues to backpeddle. Wasn't very tough there.

    Are you telling me David Lemieux isn’t a huge puncher?

    If you are, then I think you will find he is.

    He hit GGG clean on the chin.
