Re: Who is the best chill-be-chilled fighter today?
I couldn't think of a better example than the obvious, first mentioned Julian Jackson. Wlad is probably the closest current version. 83% ko wins, 3 KO losses. If only he had big brother's chin.
I'd throw Bob Foster and Chico Corrales on the list.
Re: Who is the best chill-be-chilled fighter today?
"The Dancing Destroyer" Herbie Hide. I didn't realize he was still fighting until I saw a result of his last month (cruiserweight). He is 44-4 with 41 KO's and all 4 losses by KO. His level of competition is subject for debate with Tucker and Bentt being his most notable wins and Bowe and V Klitschko his most notable losses (all four were KOs).

Yes hes in Germany doing his thing at the moment, i think Enzo against Hide would be a good fight and would show exactly where Enzo is against a vet like Hide.

Humberto Gonzalez ?All three losses by crushing Ko.was on his way to lossing to Olymian Kim until he found the sweet spot at the very end.
Not a one shot simple slugger by any means,Could turn some nice boxing also as in rematches with my Bwoy Carbajal.....but damn,he could crack with the best.
Re: Who is the best chill-be-chilled fighter today?
You fellas have already covered all bases.
Immediately thought of Edison Pantera Miranda, and there's still a bit of a question about David Haye. Haye's TKO loss a few years ago was mostly because he ran out of gas because he wasn't training properly looking past the old journeyman Carl Thompson; Haye almost had Thompson out of there.
Haye's learned from that mistake and always comes in in top shape now.
Also, the 6'3" Haye has really struggled to make 200 lbs the last few years.
When a man stops draining himself through dehydration and comes in instead at his natural fighting weight, he's often able to take a shot better.
At 140 lbs, Cotto's chin seemed questionable, but look how much punishment Cotto was able to take at 147.
I loved watching Julian Jackson, most of his fights happened on regular network televison.
For a real dangerous old-timer with deadly 1 punch power coupled with a glass jaw: Bob Satterfield.

Felix Trinidad may be applicable.

In terms of performances I don't agree.
Perhaps not as dramatic as Jackson or Tyson, but with Tito he either excelled or was crushed.

he got caught cold early in fights a few times ,
however he had two fights were he was dominated for 12 rounds, but i wouldnt say his a fighter that either stops people or is stopped himself

OIts just an opinion, but I thought the Winky fight was worse than getting sparked out.
The Jones fight saw Jones test his mobility over twelve, he could have stopped Trinidad easily had he wanted to.

I'd agree with Wlad before Steward came along. I don't know if that can be said of Vitali, though.
How about Jean Marc Mormeck?
