AA hasn't really been tested. I know he snapped his jaw against Miranda, but that only tells you that he's tough as **** - it doesn't mean he has good punch resistance, or resistance to being KO'd. He has a good guard so he never really gets caught with big enough punches to judge. On the other hand, Andrade has been belted on several occasions, and he ate bombs round-in round-out in the Kessler fight.
Sheltered like a little baby. :nut Only joking. We'll see how good a chin he has when he fights an accomplished boxer in JT.
Andrade, but Lacy is not far behind. Andrade can do more when he's being smacked around, but Lacy takes huge punishment whilst not doing much back. Froch has a good chin, Pascal can bang a bit as shown in his fight last week. Still, Froch hasn't faced any truly World-Class punchers like Kessler, Abraham etc etc yet. Andrade took a beating off Kessler for 12 rounds and showed just how tough he is.
Kessler has never been knocked down in his career,but after i saw kessler vs Andrade,i must say Andrade...The shots he took in that fight have knocked allmost every fighter at 168 out.And he was bombed by powershots for 12 rounds!!? how the hell can a man stay up for 12 rounds,when he gets hit with those bombs i EVERY ROUND...Andrade is something special when it comes to absorb punches...incredible.
Kessler is granite..... Froch is on a par with Calzaghe I'd say - before calling him iron chinned let him take those Kessler uppercuts and right hands that JC had to eat in the 4th! Andrade is just amazing though, as is his stamina.
How is this even a contest. Andrade is damn near inhuman, Kessler and Bute threw everything but the kitchen sink at him. He did receive a hard flash knockdown at the hands of Yusuf Mack(who has since sucessfully gone up to 175), but he got and went right back to work. Obviously Lacy went down against Calzaghe in the 12th, which seemed more from exhaustion than anything else. But he also hurt in the Taylor and Mendoza fights, where I have never seen Andrade hurt (even when he got knocked down).
