    One my favourite fighters, cast iron chin and big punch, also one of the best fighters of the last ten years not pick one of the four belts up. What are your thoughts on tackie?

    Good fighter. Iron chin as you said and one of the toughest I've seen. Only knocked down once (by Sharmba Mitchell) in his career. He gave Hatton one hell of a fight as well.

    Tough as hell , granite chin good power but lack of boxing skills...IMO he was a good contender but nothing more in his prime...now he's a gate-keeper, having lost his last 5 fights...at least to respectable opposition...

    The guys chin is out of this world. These days he's nothing but a walking chin. At his prime years he was capable but not really a threat to the best in his division.
