Mayweather was the one to really break his chin for him, but he was hurt by Collazo, Lazcano and even Paulie Mallignaggi before Pac ended him.
Chris Byrd was NOT chinny! I mean he took some hellacious shots in his career and was still standing, he lasted 11 with Vitali, 12 with Wlad the first time, got BLASTED by Ibeabuchi, took big punches from Tua, etc etc.....he didn't have a glass chin, he just couldn't punch worth shitQuote:

Every time Lewis was dropped it was by a big guy, with a huge shot that he didn't see coming.
When you can find me a fighter who doesn't get dropped by an 18 stone guy hitting him on the button with his hardest shot I'll entertain the fact that lewis was 'chinny'.
Have to ask, are you calling Bramble a chinny fighter ??? For that matter Mancini. May have met his match when stepped up but the pounding he soaked up from Arguello was x rated.Quote:

I ask because I would consider Canizales a KO artist...
To me a KO artist is a boxer with like a 60% and higher ratio. But there are exceptions. There's a handfull of KO artist who I'm certain have more of a 50% ratio and yet they fall into this category.

I think Peter-Klitschko I is a good example Fenster. In the buildup to that fight, it was definitely a boxer vs crude puncher deal and they fought like that too. At the time, Peter was the hardest puncher in the division. Wlad fought like it too. I don't think that's a bad example at all.
Also, I know this thread is a prelude to the Khan-Maidana fight but Khan is a decent puncher himself and don't forget that Ortiz put him down 3 times and Corley had him on queer street. I know he's a big puncher but I'm just not sure this guy has the skillset to actually find Khan's chin without his getting found out first. I think Khan has an equally good shot at a TKO/KO win then he does at a decision win. I would bet on either of those results before I would bet on a Maidana win too.
Ortiz fought a very stupid fight against Maidana. He knocked him down early and then got dragged into a total firefight. I forget which fight it was that was canceled which forced Ortiz into main billing in the Staples Center on HBO but I definitely think the pressure got to him. In a rematch, I would pick Ortiz to win. Roach won't let Khan get suckered into that type of fight, or anything remotely resembling it. I forgot just how foolish Ortiz was for fighting that type of fight but I think he was just overly nervous and got tricked into thinking he could bomb Maidana out. If he went at him the way he went at Nate Campbell, it would've been a different result.
I would pick Ortiz, Peterson and Khan to all handle Maidana on Saturday if they stayed disciplined but all could potentially get sparked. I think it would be cool if they had the winners and losers of each fight fight each other. It would go Khan-Peterson and Ortiz-Maidana imo.
B level Darrell woods making it against Samuel miller suprised. Mo Harris over Jeremy Williams. Thought Regillio Turr would surely get Calvin grove but no.
In Hattons fight with Lazcano (a career lightweight), I was really shocked at how many times he got wobbled and had to fight through. I was almost in disbelief about the way Lazcano fought and how easily he hurt him with short shots. I think he was very resilient around the waste, but he has a spark zone that is a little light for a world class fighter. He had no lack of heart or recovery ability either.Quote:

Junior Jones vs Orlando Canizales = I wouldn't say Orlando Canizales is a 1 hit KO puncher, but i think he has the type of power, to turn a fight around with 1 punch.
Junior Jones vs Jorge Aliecer Julio = Another respectful puncher.
