In my opinion, None of the races are the "Toughest"! The flood can multiply like rabbits in spring, so for sheer numbers, and being able to easily replace those numbers, they are the "toughest". Now the Covenant, they have the best technology, and navy, so in a space battle, they are the "Toughest". However, the Covenant, for all their knowledge, firepower, and technology, they lack the ability to adapt, and to use tactics. So for ground defense, Adaptibility, and ingenuity, the Humans are the "toughest".
The problem with the question is that "toughest" isnt defined, so therefore, you cannot truly answer the question. Think of it this way. Comparing WW2 to Halo, then the Axis are the covenant, the Russians the flood, and GB/USA the Humans. At the start of WW2 the Russians had Millions of soldiers, just no weapons or equipment. The Axis had tthe most and new technology, but Hitler/Tojo refused to adapt to the changing landscape, and GB/USA had mostly left over WW1 tech, but also had the ability to adapt.
