    Well I don't disagree with that. I'm highly critical of him fighting poor opposition. But that doesn't mean he's not a threat in the division, he is.

    Two years from now, I expect Povetkin to be the unified HW champ, because I think he beats Fury and Wilder. He has fast-enough feet to get to them and also the power to hurt them.

    Bivol will go a long way, honestly I think he might be as good or better prospect than Usyk. That's how high I rate him. Him, Derevyanchenko and Usyk are the best prospects from the Eastern Europe IMO.

    Great win for Ola, but it's tough because it was nothing we hadn't seen before with Chakhiev going back to the Wlod fight.

    Ola fought smart, but the real standout point of that fight for me was that Chakhiev learned absolutely nothing from Diablo and made the exact same mistakes in tactics and execution. We know Afolabi's chin is diamond solid, but Chakhiev fought like he'd been knocked out early 5 times.

    Had Chakhiev-Wlod not happened, I would be more amped that Ola got the highlight KO and given him performer of the day.

    It's there with McCall for me. Wachs got an ATG chin with journeyman skills. It's inhuman to take those kinds of shots with that little effect.

    The standard of medical attention given for this promotion was disgraceful.

    Wilder is not a granite chinned warrior just yet, but I suspect that he might be.

    DSG is a granite chinned warrior, he has taken brutal shots and has never went down in his career. :yep

    Mr. Mayweather is neither iron chinned, nor a warrior. False statement is false!

    He is both a warrior and granite chinned.

    Largely due to his defense, not chin. :hi: Whenever tagged flush he's usually stunned. Old Mosley, Hatton, Maidana and so on. I wouldn't go as far as saying his chin is weak, but there's nothing to suggest it's one of the best in boxing.
