    This most often appears in my mind while watching Ali fights, what about you?

    Bradley - Provodnikov.

    Bradleys eyes were looking into another dimension, and he just punched his way right through it.

    Joyce eating up the Mega Platter of Flush Punches from Chisora was kind of impressive.

    Lest we forget the sublime Joe Joyce school of defence:

    Saad against Yaqui Lopez in Round 8 of their rematch; Holyfield in Round 10 against Bowe the first time, and a sleeper....against Hearns, Luigi MInchillo at one point walked directly into a flush right hand right on the point of the chin and somehow just walked right through it. I was slack-jawed. Tough beyond words.

    I forget which round but in the first Pryor-Arguello fight, Pryor took an uppercut that made him look towards the sky.

    Minchillo was one tough fighter. Talking about Hearns we could add Doug DeWitt and Randy Shields. Both should amazing chins against Hearns on form.

    DeJohn vs Chuvalo, I was genuinely surprised that DeJohn was able to continue that fight after what Chuvalo did to him in the 2nd round, although the biased (or stupid) referee did give him ample recover time

    Benn vs McClellan is another obvious shout

    I found it interesting that Minchillo seemed more affected by Duran's shots at 154 than those of Hearns. In fairness, most of the time Minchillo showed distress in that fight it was because of Duran's body punching.
