      Johnny Tapia is the toughest fighter I've ever seen.

      Well....Hagler is of course a minotaur, but I'm referring to a different level of toughness.

      You'd just have to know alot about Tapia as a fighter to understand what made him so tough, and what happened to him outside of the ring that reinforced that toughness.

      I'll give you one example out of 1000:

      He slipped and fell on his way out of the emergency room, and re-entered into a serious concussion and was almost put back into the same coma he just exited from. The next day he fought Archuleta after demanding to be released from the hospital.

Then he struggled on the streets of the South Bronx, again often having to steal food to survive. He could of caved in as a person, but remained strong and determined.
        He also had a tough time in his early years in Jamaica,when he was a little kid.

        As for toughest of tough,that is Mr Marciano. Says so on Steve Collins dvd
