    Good call, he gets dropped but is always back up and adjusts very well.

    I also go with Toney, he was such a small heavyweight. Well, I mean small in terms of height and reach, the belly kind of got out there towards the end. But he could eat a punch, Peter only put him down because Toney got so fat he didn't know how to balance himself on two legs anymore.

    Yeah I know. But he can really take a hell of a dig all the same.

    Thomas Tate and Glenn Wolfe should get mention, Wolfe especially.

    Tate known for taking some of Julian Jackson's best shots, but then getting knocked out by Roy Jones Jr in easy fashion, that aside Tate had a pretty good chin. And Glenn Wolfe had a great toughness and iron chin, it is a shame that his career was ended when Roy Jones left hook to his body permanently damaged his liver retiring him, but that is a testament to how hard he hit at that weight. But regardless those two should be honorable mentions.

    I'm going to throw Joe Calzaghe in there. Been down plenty, but his recovery powers are insane. I've never really seen him in trouble and i've seen him take some pretty heavy bombs. That uppercut from Jones was lethal.

    Yes Calzaghe could take a punch and recover very fast from one and fire back.

    You know I thought of Joe as one of the guys who just came shy but because he had been knocked down so many times I thought maybe it was not the best choice...I mean Joe always got back up and I don't think I ever rememeberr him hurt badly

    You must be joking, he had one of the best Heavyweight jabs of the modern era. Infact he outjabbed Lennox Lewis, so he must of been able to box a bit.

    Yeah Ray was under rated for sure...I think Ray was more a victim of being the WBO champion taking it seriously when the belt was not too favored on and he did give Lennox a hell of a time and Lennox was a master boxer....

    Mercer out jabbed Holyfield as well but he definitely did not avoid punches and relied on his chin too much as a defence.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
