    7-8 but if I had to pick I'd pick 8. He's pretty susceptible about being stunned/hurt/dropped in the first half of the fight but his recovery saves him big time. Another thing is that he's so eager to trade back that he gets out of position and gets caught, often. It's like he has to get hurt in order to get in the fight or press harder it's like a wake up call. Getting hurt/dropped fires him up. I would say his durability is a bit underrated along with his defense. He's 38 and still very relevant and a big name, he has to have some kind of defense in order for that to happen and he does.

    This +1

    Chin is not iron, more like aluminium.

    I think as said in previous posts it's more his ability to recover that is impressive. I think Jim Lampley said during the Katsidis fight that he has a similar ability to recover from adversity and come back on top in the same round as Evander Holyfield.

    I was gonna go with 7, but we sometimes forget, when he is 1 shot KDd it is usually early in a fight, and he goes on to recover and fight on, or it's after an exhausting 7/8/9+rds.

    I voted 8, seems most agree:D
     
  7. 6, but with SUPERB recuperative ability.

    I don't think his balance is bad as some posters do. He's a very good fighter with a 6 for a chin and a 10 for a heart.
