Toughest fighter of all-time?

[Hunna]

Joe had abnormal skull thickness that allowed him to take any punishment you could give him. His skull was twice as thick as a normal persons. That allowed him to absorb any shot you could give him and he would get up from it.

yeh? sounds like a mutant.

Wayne McCullough is tougher than Arturo Gatti. That guy took beatings from big punchers through out his whole career and never went down. Hes the toughest modern day fighter Ive ever seen. Also on the skull thickness part Waynes skull is twice as thick as the normal skull accoriding to his doctors.

Toughest doesn,t mean human punching bag. It means i can lick anyone in this universe or any other.

Jack Dempsey in his prime would be the man.

hagler, mickey ward, duran, chavez, ali

I agree McCullough is one tough hombre shame about the stoppage,also LaMotta & Marciano sheer will to win.

[msocearnaigh]

lamotta.he purposely took a lot of punishment out of a sense of guilt.guilt he felt from the fact that he believed he killed a man during a botched mugging .he gave the fella a severe beating and left him for dead.years later the fella shows up after a title win/title defense(not sure) to congratulate lamotta.jake was never the same after that in the ring and he reckonsitn was down to his conscious being put at ease.
mccullough has a tremondous chin,one of the best .he was actually voted hardest chin everby RING recently(i think).not too many fighters get credits like that while still boxing

I'm sure someone has already said it but in case they haven't ya'll should know Harry Greb is the correct answer.

[chopper77]

Hey Shaolin, I said it, and we're both right. The correct answer is Harry Greb. Incredible ****ing tough guy.

[LuKahnLi]

Harry Greb is a damn good choice.

His only stoppages came when he somehow broke his arm and when he was fighting a heavyweight.

But if you go back to the old timers.......

I mean Peter Jackson and James Corbet fought eachother for 67 rounds. That is ridiculous....
