Well Flores already proved that he could take a punch by facing the division's biggest puncher in Darnell Wilson, in addition to several HWs he fought on his way up. And now he's facing a contender with a perfect KO ratio, so I think after all is said and done, his chin ought to be thoroughly tested.
No he didn't dude...How is he the divisions best puncher? I hope you mean hardest, if anything...but thats still stretching the truth. Did you even watch the fight or are you just basing your opinions of what you see on boxrec? Let me describe DW for you.... I have seen his fight with Nwodo, Arslan and Flores so im gonna base my judgment on these three fights. Wilson is a guy who relies, and ONLY relies, on power and chin alone to win fights. He has no tactics, he has poor speed, poor footwork, and basically is missing a lot of things that is needed to become on top and a champion. The fact that he even beat Nwodo and was considered a contender are all based on the luck he had vs him and those opponents he beat. The guy is just a power hungry freak with no skills just god given talent, and i'd bet the farm on a guy like Wlodarczyk to even destroy him. All he does, is go into the ring, throw wild looping punches nonstop and he relies on luck on them landing due to his power, in order to produce a KO. Darnell probably doesn't even know what a jab is. Wilson even picked Bell and Banks to beat Adamek, due to their power alone. He's like Zakman, instead of picking his fights based on chins, he does on power. He thinks power is everything to become a top contender, and it's not. A real boxing fan would of known what to think of this strat. The guy shouldn't of ever been taken seriously, yet he highly was. The hype surrounding this man was ridiculous on this forum. Everywhere we saw Wilson nuthuggers and stupid ****in threads such as "Prime Mike Tyson vs. Ding a Ling" just over the fact of that Nwodo KO and the fact that he posted here. But on to my point, any DECENT boxer out there BEATS and EMBARASSES Wilson. Arslan did it, and Flores even had trouble doing that... Wilson doesn't have any talent what so ever, and he never even landed a straight flush shot on Flores's chin, if he did he probably would of KOd him, but the fact Wilson has no skills is why he didn't. He even struggled trying to beat that joke as well. Running for his life, he's lucky the judges were on his side too. Old man Arslan clearly beat Wilson and his pathetic attempts at becoming a champ, throwing his wild and looping punches at a tough chinned Turk, yea nice gameplan Wilson, FAIL. Yet a guy like Flores couldnt even figure his easy style out and ran from him and on most score cards, was close to even losing....The judges were ridiculous in that fight, and I don't care what you say Axe because I never truested your judging anyways. Don't take this post personally, i'm not trying to be a dick just giving my 2 cents. His chin was never tested being he didn't take any good flush shots on his chin from the fights I have seen. Maybe it will be in this fight, but we will see on youtube when it all plays out. Once again, keep in mind, KO ratios don't mean much, if it did, my boy Victor Oganov would be a World Champion.
Still doesn't matter really, his wild haymakers never fooled me. He was hyped up so much, their "former" fans should feel ridiculous by now.
