    Yeah it’s not as if Whyte didn’t have a lethal left hook. AJ took that shot and was throwing back within 15 seconds. You’re incredibly biased against Joshua clearly. Next you’ll be saying that Klitschko and Povetkin weren’t big punchers.

    Jones is an interesting case

    He was so dominant we don't even know how his chin was in his prime ... It was only after he came down from heavyweight that he started getting cracked ...

    yeah, but jones was the king at LHW and wilder never fought the equivalent of a toney or hopkins until fury took his soul

    In his prime RJJ did not get hit much. His reflexes were so freaky good he could slip most punches. He relied and lived off those reflexes.

    Once he started to slow a little, he was getting hit more and he did not take it well.

    I think it's not that his jaw got worse, but that opponents were finally able to land on him.

    Who cares of his few KDs caused by his bizzarre defence.

    Vitali didn`t hurt Lewis enough to stop Lewis charging through his shots towards the end of that bout.

    The knock downs Wlad suffered were early in his career. Due to poor defense

    I'll say they were both 40 y/o men and past prime.

    All three fighters that knocked Hearns out were good punchers and he was only knocked out cold once by Barkley.

    Imo, it's between Patterson, Hearns, W Klitschko & RJJ
