My money would be on either a mangrove jack or a maurry cod. Both are aggressive as hell, and pack a massive punch!
Pound for Pound toughest fish?

pound for pound the cichlasoma salvini female is one tuff mother i had a 6" female gave me hundreds of beautiful babys but killed 3 of her mates that wer slightly bigger and seemed mor agressive
wolf fish or snake head. if your not satified try a river monster like the goliath tiger fish even though its not a domesticated animal
Pound for pound? Gambusia sp. (Mosquitofish) are some nippy little buggers...and weigh next to nothing...
It has to be the Mangrove Jack.
Mine just ripped off my jardini's gill!

Here is a snippit of what aussiemonster had to say about them....
Sorry was bound to happen, Jar probably started it, Jack always wins teeth plus an incredible amount of jaw pressure. A mate had a 10 " oscar put a 4'' Jack in, oscar bluffed it for a few days then the Jack ripped its lip off. Will try to take the prime cover spot in the tank next which would be currently occupied by your Cod, Jack will win , then will consider all tankmates as intruders in its territory, Jack will tear chunks out of them.
Not trying to jinx you or anything just the nature of the beast. LMAO at people who say species X Y or Z are the toughest/meanest etc. they have not kept Jack, nothing survives in a tank with them for long . The only fish that tries to bite you when you catch them, nothing like the sound of a BIG Jack snapping its jaws together.
