Last night on ESPN Classic they showed Ray Mercer's split decision victory over Marion Wilson. I got to thinking, that may have been the best battle of chins ever. Can anybody else give me a fight between two people with great chins?
Ali Vs George Chavalo Randy Cobb Vs Larry Holmes Julio cesar Chavez Vs Jaun Laporte If you start looking at the Middles you will probably come up with quite a few
I just picked my two because Mercer didn't start falling until he was agent, and against Klitschko and Briggs, and the Briggs KO still looks odd to me...I'm not sure Wilson has ever been down, and I read he has only been stopped once on cuts. Most of these other choices are very good, but they were down, even if just flash knockdowns. Interestingly enough, Wilson hurt Mercer in this fight but Mercer was out of shape.
Oliver McCall - Marion Wilson (x2) McCall probably had (and still has) an even better chin than Mercer.
It was a draw, and manm, that decision sucked. But yeah, Mo Wilson had a hell of a chin; so did Mercer.
I'm a ****** today, been reading things wrong, and forgetting things I JUST SAW...Yes, as Kolya said, it was a draw...I would claim punch drunkedness, but I don't box...
