    Harlem Coffee Cooler

    Fitzs

    Norfolk

    Barbados Walcott

    Tommy Ryan

    Henry Pearce

    James Burke

    Tommy Burns


    Not James Figg because he ducked as soon as a non-Englishman wanted a fight.

      Now Toney... Theres a good one. The late joe Rein adored JamesToney... Toney loves two things: To fight and to eat. It makes it interesting to speculate if that makes him tough. it certainly makes him able! Duran also loves to fight... I guess that toughness can be a labor of love. I certainly see these three (hearns as well) as "tough." There were many rumors that Sugar Ray Robinson loved to dance... more than anything in the world! This is somewhat verified by his television appearances after his fight career. But, one knock on Robinson was that he did not like to fight... Hard to believe lol. And sugar ray was tough.
      I feel sorry for Robinson. If I didn't like to fight and fought 200 fights, that sounds like absolute misery. It's very ironic.

          In prior eras we can consider Gatti, Whitaker, Chavez, Barrera, Morales, Oscar, Holyfield, Mayorga, Khan, Hatton, just to name a few. Also can’t rule out LaMotta, Basilio, and Moore.
          Kahn has ducked Brook for years

            How shameful you dilettantes have snubbed Lopez (as in Injun Yaqui), definitely one of the toughest fighters to ever slide down a meat tube. And he fought a high percentage of tough guys as well.

                  Do they have a grade low enough to attempt an education at your advanced years?
                  Do they teach English where you live? Or is this just your average p i s s poor attempt to be relevant? You can always go back to ghosting threads conversating with yourself.

                    There is more than one man with the surname Lopez who felt that way, let me guarantee you. I can count four or five.

                      Be happy we only have to encounter that freak TROLL on this site and not in real life. God forbid he isn't behind a mass shooting or something to get attention.
