    John H. Stracey, who defeated a badly faded Jose Napoles to win the Welterweight Championship & was soundly thrashed in his first defence by Carlos Palomino.

    Well good thing your not a fighter. Who's next guys?

    LoL. Just egging you on, but seriously... why can't people talk about fighters negatives/deficiencies rather than just all of their positives?

    Was Pattersons chin that bad?

    The guys who knocked him out were two of the hardest hitting heavyweights of all time.

    Yes. he was down, down and out many times. He latered slightly adopted his style being more cautious up until the 70's but he was dropped regularly here and there. I think he could absorb a decent level of punishment. Ali didn't KO him in 66.

    True but he tasted the canvas an awful lot as champion against some less than steller opponents.

    Radamacher,Harris and I think even McNeely managed to floor him but to Floyd's credit he kept getting up.

    Funnily enough once he was an ex-champ Patterson's chin seemed to get a lot better as only Quarry and Bonavena dropped him from that point on.

    I wouldn't say Stracey had a bad chin. Besides it was the body shots that done him against a very good Palomino.
