    Default Slick Boxers Who Are Tough.

    Normally fans regard slick or defensive fighters as not tough, but what slick fighters can you remember being tough ?

    James Toney
    Floyd Mayweather Jr
    Pernell Whitaker

    Are a few that come to mind.

    Mark Johnson,coming up very slick but not afraid to war.The way he went out vs. Jhonny Gonzalez,not reflective of career.

    Agreed, on Ray Leonard, he was definitely tough. He had to be to go toe to toe with Duran for 15 rounds, giving Duran all he could handle.

    Leonard could definitely take a good punch. He also had the ability to raise the level of his game when the going got tough, as in the first fight against Hearns, and also against Donny Lalonde, where leonard was hurt and came back strong to score a crushing knockout.

    Jimmy Young ? he did go the distance with Shavers, Ali, Foreman, and deserved to beat Shavers in the rematch and Ali.
