    how was he koed so easy in mma?

    this is why clinch fighting is underrated and why boxers in mma are out of their element.

    Plus there`s ground and pound in MMA fights, look at the position he is in while getting hit.

    but boxers are made of granite according to these guys. They could never be koed in mma.

    MMA fighters are good at striking but many of them at the higher level don`t have good chins, to get to the top in boxing you need a good chin because you get hit so much, that`s why Ngannou`s punches had less effect on AJ despite AJ having a weak chin for a world champion boxer.

    nobody has ever koed aj clean.

    Aj is also the exception when it comes to power. And yes many boxers have average chins. Amir Khan and Tommy Morrison had average chins. Many good boxers almost never get hit to begin with. you’d be surprised how many would get koed if kicking, ground and pound and clinch knees were allowed. Boxers have better punch absorption because they move their head better, but they are just human.

    Khan got KO`d several times and Morrison was not a top boxer.

    Fury has been dropped by everyone and has never been seen as a particularly hard puncher in boxing. They said Francis COULDN'T be KO'd because he "eats kicks and doesn't flinch"

    Because he was thrown to the ground and pounded in the head repeatedly
