So if you fall over a bananna skin on the street is your chin in question, Rico? Do you even see any signs that he is hurt from the punches, as Khan was in his fights prior to Prescott? Have you even seen any of Khan's fights to make a valid comparison? Enzo Mac is by far a better inclusion than Rahman or Gamboa. This guy was knocked out by a can, a real genuine can inside 3 rounds called Lee Swaby. I don't care how long ago it was or what the excuses are about him hitting the nightclubs, his chin ain't got better. He got flattened. Then he got starched in 2 by Haye, a big puncher indeed, but supposedly lesser fighters took more punishement. Include Enzo for a more credible list.
Excellent list Rico, and I like the inclusion of Gamboa. He is going to get starched BIGTIME in 2009.;
You make some good points and I strongly dislike Enzo not only because of his Glass Jaw but he looked like absolute garbage against Haye. He looked like he had just got out of bed and he was scared as hell of Haye.
I don't see why future Heavyweight Champion of the world Audley Harrison is included in this, when he gets his WBF title back you will look rather foolish!
It would seem you are a dumb noob. Plenty of people on this forum have pointed out the exact failing in logic that I am. If you do not show signs of being hurt, its not a question of chin that is failing you. It could be a lot of things, including defence and balance. A closer comparison is the career of Trinidad rather than Khan at this stage. Khan couldn't get tickled without being hurt.
Well, whats your excuse for not including him over the likes of Gamboa, that are yet to even get starched? You say he'll get starched, and he's been shown as vulnerable against ESPN fighters. That is your right, but I'm sorry, Enzo already has been starched by a fighter that would not be accepted on ESPN. Is it more fashionable to pick on Gamboa?
Because people on here (mainly Brits) talked him up like he was a good fighter before the Haye fight then the guy gets blasted out in two rounds. Basically the same thing that happened to Enzo is going to happen to Haye against one of the Klitschko's. I hate fighters that are thrown on the hype train for no reason.
How dare you call the legendary Audley 'A-Force' Harrison the "future Heavyweight Champion of the World"! :verysad.... Without attaching the prefix of "undisputed" before it, so your statement reads: "Future undisputed Heavyweight Champion of the World, Audley Harrison". Show the man some goddam respect, NOOB.
Honestly? I do not give Enzo Mac much thought he is basically a British level fighter. I do not dislike Gamboa. But I would be lying if I said the first time I saw him fight I did not say to myself "this kid is a KO waiting to happen".
Litzau is hardly a fighter that is screaming out for world honours, either. You set the benchmark for level of fighter that we should consider by including him. Overall, its a pretty inconsistent list when you include Gamboa. Over guys that have already been starched by low level fighters. I'm sure there are more examples than Maccarinelli.
