    Ireland is part of the British isles in a geographical area. So he does.

    I'd like to know how Hamed was 'pure glass' when he was never stopped in his career?

    Since you've done this twice now, it's Wales, now Whales. A Broner fan, I presume? :yep

    Ireland is not part of Great Britain.

    Not that I think a glass jaw is more exclusive to the UK. Just saying.

    Only according to those who write in the Encyclopedia BRITTANICA. Or the Yanks who are Anglophiles, as there are plenty of those here in the US as well. Outside of those select, it's not.

    Very over rated chin, seen him ***** street like 7,8 x and he doesnt have a few top teir fighters with any power on his resume, every single thing about him is over rated or completely ignored.

    Chin, good
    Heart, great
    Stamina, very good
    Talent, decent
    Skills, ok
    Power, decent.

    Bruno had a good chin. His problem was going into shock mode when hurt and not being able to hold or move his way out of trouble.

    Spot on.

    I rate Hamed quite highly.

    Shame of his hand injury and rush to make weight with a small camp pre-Barrera that lead to his only loss.

    Had he won, I think American's would have had a very different opinion of him.

    Clearly the fire left him after that.

    Make all the excuses you want, but Antonio Barrera's superior technical skills and boxing IQ led to Hamed's embarrassment.
