    Are you insane? Not that big of a cross? It's the most technically sound and fastest cross in the heavyweight division thrown by someone who weighs 240lbs. What's the disconnect. Well Parker cross is probably a hair quicker but not as powerful

    It was very crisp but it was the only real solid punch that Wlad had landed up until that point and AJ collapsed like a stack of bricks.

    Who has a Tua type chin though??? He was build like a block... I do wonder if Parker is made of the same stuff being similar heritage..

    True lol.. Shouldn't have made that comparison. The jury is still out in Parker I guess.

    According to certain idiots on here... Joshua actually decided to go ahead and go down from that right hand! He didn't get dropped... he could have stayed on his feet! But he felt it was best to go down from that shot to save himself from the follow up KO blow.

    Lol! :wanker:wanker:wanker

    He was defenseless. Poor, poor strategy for maybe his last fight of which he should have won.
    Vitali will be speaking out on this

    I dont think its great I would say its average. Mark my words if he gets caught with a big shot he will go down.

    I think people get confused with the getting back up again part of having a good chin...

    His chin is good enough for a HW boxer, ofc he ain't no Holyfield but v few are. Truth be told at one point AJ was absolutely OUT ON HIS FEET and I could hear his heavy breathing sitting at home. He really was there to be taken and would have been KOd at that point by any top 5 HW no doubt. Deontay would windmill him to the canvas most definitely.

    But for AJ to come out like he did in the 11th was just amazing determination. The AJ win is a win for world boxing.

    If he had faced Ruiz that day I dont know how many rounds his chin would have resisted.

    Dubois is built like The Thing and he has crazy heavy hands. He sports a KO 95% despite the fact he's fought four of the most iron jawed fighters in the division in Hrgovic, Big Joe Joyce, Usyk and Miller. Sure he lost to two of them but let's not forget that Big Joe Joyce morphed into a jab merchant against him and Usyk is one of the best defensive fighters in the sport.

    Having a KO 50% against four of the most iron-jawed fighters in your division is impressive
