Surprised Joel Casamayor hasn't gotten a mention honestly.

A couple of other guys not getting mentions
JMM, not the hardest guy to hit but very skilled, very tough
Gerry Penalosa, really skilled guy, good chin, toughness
Saul Mamby
calzaghe can box and brawl
Nice call here,Saoul was a freak.Not many 5 decade fighters these days...didn't he just have an "exhibition" of some type a few months ago?On card with Iran Barkley or something.Real slippery guy.Quote:

If this is about mentality then Roy Jones would have to be up there as well, he took an absolute beating before Glen Johnson knocked him out, and he took a lot of cheap shots when you look back, I just was watching Jones-Tarver I, and Jones in the first round gets a forehead right in the kisser, and he doesn't seem to bothered by it, In that fights he gets hit by a lot of tough shots to the body and upstairs. He was also hit by a perfect elbow from Julio Gonzalez if I remember correctly, and it didn't even phase him.
Non tougher than Ali.
Non fought his comp nor took the total bombs he took.
Toney, Peñalosa, Sweet Pea, Hopkins, JMM... all tough old slick SOBs
PBF top of the list though...
Zab, Collazo
I respectfully disagree.Quote:
