Yes, and I think Tomasz Adamek would have been called "tough" in any era. I'll bet he could have hung with (and perhaps dominated) a lot of the "tough" old timers.

I am really enjoying the way this discussion has gone. Sure beats the average post that today's heavyweights "are shite" LOL. It's a lot more complex than that, that's for sure.

Also, if you look at the Lewis=Klitschko fight, Vitali showed more than a little bit of heart still wanting to fight with his face split open.
