Built for the long haul and across all the weight classes.
Frazier and Marciano obviously qualify, but what other names come to mind?

Irish Bob Murphy, Jake LaMotta, Bennie Briscoe, Bobo Olson, Jose Beccera, Sam Langford, Gil Turner, Micky Ward coming in from either the left side or right side. Although he is not known for it Georgie Benton was a great infighter.

Roberto Duran, Wilfred Benitez and Mike McCallum comes to mind. The great Eusebio Pedroza was a master at that, too.

Basilio is one not yet mentioned. I'd give a shout to Whitaker too.
Eddie Mustafa Muhammad was lazy, but the body beat down he gave Marvin Johnson was one of the nastiest I've ever seen.

Hot and cold, he reminds me of Toney. Glimpses of brilliance, but he'd toss in clunkers too. The day before weigh in you think would help him, but he might just eat more beforehand. Definite champion, multiple times.
