    We KNOW Bute is not chinny. It was the question we were all asking before the Bika fight. Bika hit him with some solid shots flush on the chin...didn't buzz Bute at all. Then, there was Berrio...he hits very hard...certainly one of the Top 3 hardest hitters in the division. He hit Bute hard on a number of occasions...he was fine. Bute has been awarded a very solid chin status by the chincheckers!

    I don't know much about Gennady Golovkin, but I think he might be a star in the making. Here's a thread about him:

    Evans Ashira either knocked down or KO'd Jeff Lacy as an amateur. Don't read much into it.

    China_hand_Joe, fighting which two fighters from 168-175 would cement/ enhance Joe Calzaghe's legacy most, in 2008, in the eyes of the very best, most knowledgeable and objective analysts?

    These are the best defensive fighters that I've seen watching live or from footage (for the purpose of this question, I will not use fighters from before I was born).

    Pernell Whitaker
    Floyd Mayweather, Jr.
    Wilfred Benitez
    Nicolino Locche
    James Toney

    Honorable mentions go out to Bernard Hopkins and Roy Jones Jr

    AchillestheGreat, what are your toughts on Michael Watson and Howard Eastman? Do you feel they could of achieved a lot more had Watson not been tragically injured and Eastman had put more effort in?
