    Assessing whether a professional fighter at the elite level, in a competitive, grueling, unforgiving, life or death sport like Boxing has heart/chin/brain via multiple choice check boxes.

    **** off.

    They wouldn't be where they are without ample brains\chin\heart. Disgusting assessment. Inhumane.

    Emotive ... & naive. You need a good chin, good brain, the heart not to give up - & ideally, the ability to KO. When comparing the top fighters, which is what this forum does every day, these factor are used to evaluate a boxers ability continually.

    I don’t agree with the content of the post, but that’s opinion - no need to belittle. Make your teachers proud and provide some constructive criticism. That’s what Mrs Rogers told me ;)

    Wait how does takam have a chin when he got stopped off chisora yet Ortiz has no chin who got stopped by wilder?

    Especially seeing as Ortiz was trying to get up.

    Also now yeah Whyte don’t have the best chin but he never got stopped by chisora and both him and takam got stopped by Joshua.

    So add takam no chin.

    Takam didnt get stopped by Joshua, he got stopped byt he referee. Ever heard of poor referee stoppage? Yeah that was one of them.

    Chisora stopped Takam, and took the referee out of the decision, Takam was lying on the floor.

    OP doesn't deserve that treatment. It's his personal list and up to himself. If you don't agree with it then you are free to critique it, but namecalling of the post or poster is against the rules.

    Have to add though; Parker showed great heart against Whyte. That 12th round was a beaut.

    Yeah It was a poor stoppage not as conclusive as the knockout of Whyte who looked like he **** himself while he was unconscious.

    But my point still stands a guy who’s been stopped by chisora does not have a good chin it may have degraded over time that’s fair anuff but still.

    Yeah which again is not as conclusive as the knockout of Chisora, who looked like he was ascending to jesus, with his trainer holding Chisora in his arms, crying to God. Like a BAFTA award winning dramatic violin moment, where the lead character dies. Except no acting was involved, it was real life.

    Come on man, Joshua lost on his feet when he said he didn't feel right, what if he'd have carried on and died in the ring? Nobody knows exactly what went on there but it seems everyone wants to think that he's a ***** because he quit. Johsua is far tougher than he's given credit for.

    What the **** has Whyte knocking out chisora got to do with the point I made.

    I actually gave Whyte some credit in my first post in comparison to takam but you went full Whyte bumhole licker straight away.

    What the **** has Whyte getting KOd got to do with our previous conversation?

    I knew you would bring up Whyte in a bad light just to trigger me.

    Why can't you stick to Takam... that was the conversation.
