It's amazing not to have a chin and still become the number 1 in the heavyweight division when 200 plus pounders are looking to detonate bombs on your fragile mandible.
True , but remember Floyd was a middleweight gold metal champ. He was really a overfed light heavyweight
Pretty much they all belong to the unfairly overpowered smaller guys moving up category Roy Jones jr, Floyd, M.M.
Rahman took blow after blow by Sanders before winning the fight. Wlad folded like an empty purse after only 2-3 of Sanders shots. Learn the sport ffs. Rahmans chin>>> Wlads cream chin.
I was gonna say lineal but this thread which said there's not been many lineal champs if i remember right: http://www.boxingforum24.com/showthread.php?t=500409
Debatable. Patterson was down a lot, but he was stopped only five times, the same amount as Mike Tyson. He was stopped twice by ATG puncher Liston, once by puncher Johansson (who he survived twice) and twice on accumulation by ATG Ali. As well as Johansson, he survived Bonavena (knocked out 44 heavies), Chuvalo (knocked out 64 heavyweights), Archie Moore, Henry Cooper etc. He's an ok answer, but I don't like that he's become the de facto answer.
