Beterbiev is untested in the professional ranks and has not yet deserved any honourable mention. Amateur records don't count in the Pros. There are tons of great high school basketball players who can't cut it in the NBA, as example.
His chin is granite His punch is arguably most powerful in boxing ..... Now name your own choice of granite chin power puncher
Quite often it appears that ko artists end up with questionable chins, its as if one quality takes away from the other
Good thing for him Geale isn't a puncher. Cotto wiped his a.s with the same guy and didn't get his head snapped back. That clip shows just how wide-open GGG leaves himself.
OK. Enough of the hogwash replies. Before I start, I'd make clear that a knock-down doesn't necessarily indicate a weak jaw. A knock down can be the result of being off balance or a slip. It can also be the result of a punch that clubbed the fighter to the ground but other than that, did no real damage. In fact, the fact that some fighters have solid jaws is sometimes there biggest asset, taking blow after blow until their opponent is tired from throwing, ala Jake Lamotta. Here's the real deal on PROVEN Diamond jawed boxers, based on observation of being hit clean with solid shots, taking it and giving their own. 1. Bernard Hopkins 2. Arthur Abraham 3. Timothy Bradley 4. Deontay Wilder 5. Antonio Tarver 6. Johann Duhaupas 7. Andre Ward 8. Julio Cesar Chavez Jr 9. Jean Pascal 10. Sakio Bika 11. Sam Soliman 12. Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam That's a dozen from HW to MW who have proven the extreme toughness of their mantles time and time again in numerous professional fights.
never been down in close to 400 fights and holds the highest ko percentage in middleweight championship history. has inspired more envy, hate and butt pain from team slick than any fighter currently competing. whats not to like?
