    He stopped Lennox Lewis, Damiani, and Maskaev. The guy could punch.

    Lennox and Maskaev were Glass Jawed. Wouldn't brag about stopping either of them it isn't that impressive.

    Very true, though Lennox fanboys will argue that McCall was the equivalent of Earnie Shavers in punching power because he shattered the glass jaw of Lewis.

    He's also the only guy to knock Akinwande out.

    Camacho Sr springs to mind. Not much of a pop once he got past 135, but never stopped across a 30 year career. Bizarrely, the only man ever to stop Sugar Ray Leonard.

    Joey Maxim is another. Never much of a puncher, but went the distance with plenty of world-class heavies and light-heavies - Charles x5, Moore x3, Walcott x3, Machen x2, Bivins x2, Satterfield, Patterson and Marshall. Bizarrely, the only man ever to stop Sugar Ray Robinson.

    Old school...but Jake Lamotta. Rather pillow fisted, but one of the hardest heads in boxing history

    Surely somebody has mentioned Timothy Bradley, that man has a hell of a chin but it's still a mystery why he can't crack as hard as he ought to.
