    No chin can withstand Brit power, but even still I'm not having Hrgovic for chin even though it's built like Desperate Dan's. I'd probably pick Zhang for chin.

    I think everyone on here can agree on the first part but my assertion that Hrgovic possesses the most iron mandible section in the division isn't only based on opinion it's based on the most rigorous scientific analysis.

    Big Bang Zhang is a fine shout but he was dropped heavily as a pro by a journeyman and he was dropped and stopped in the amateurs, whereas, conversely Hrgovic is one the few SHWs who was never dropped or stopped as an amateur

    And the only KD he suffered as a pro was a back of the mind shot against the hardest puncher in the division

    Hrgovic against the same man who dropped and stopped Big Bang

    No Usyk was in big trouble and was being out-boxed by Fury in the few rounds leading up to him getting caught, Fury was hitting Usyk with ease.

    If you think Usyk has poor head movement, I seriously suggest you just watch another sport. You have no idea what you are looking at.

    Do you know what head movement is?

    Do you know what a head is?

    The movement? Is that holding you up?

    Name me one fight where Usyk has displayed good head movement or rounds where he has slipped shots, what are you talking about?

    Name one where he hasn't. Dude...can you define for us on a sentence or two what the words "head," and "movement" mean to you?

    Jesus...

    Belly had a few good rounds and Usyk experienced some adversity. They were still competitive rounds though and Usyk was in no danger of going down or being stopped.

    And again, that was an Usyk who stood right in front of Belly not the usual much more elusive version.
