300 amateur fights never stopped (if i recall correctly). 19 pro fights never stopped. Yet the reputation persists in some circles. I dont get it. This is LHW division. These are large, powerful men. Ever notice we dont see many (if any) Ruslan or Margarito type chins at 175 and higher? Might that have something to do with these guys are huge monsters? You dont just walk right into world class LHW punches and have them bounce off the noggin and keep on trucking like nothing happened. That can work in the lower weights with small men. With the big boys? Not so much. I'd like to see any man walking this planet who can take a Joe Smith bomb to the brain and walk it off like nothing happened. So does Beterbiev have an ATG chin at 175? Nope, but it's more than adequate. He would have been stopped by now if he was chinny. You dont walk the best fighters in the world down at 175 with a china chin.
