    Yeah well Chavez was also only stopped on cuts twice by Oscar and by Tszyu the latter of which is irrelevant as he was the total spirt of himself by then.

    We're talking chins, not historical rankings.

    Had Chavez gone up to 147 & 154 he'd have got laid out. Eubank went up and never got stopped.

    Well it's equally ridiculous to say Eubank's in a different league to Chavez in the chin department as Chavez had one of the best chins the sport has ever seen, and by the way, Eubank was FAR closer to being stopped in his prime (Wastson II) than Chavez was in his.

    What people don't realize is that Chavez had a good defense and almost always rolled with shots even when they appeared to land flush. Eubank Sr. has been legitimately been chin check considerably more than Chavez.

    Got to say, Eubank did take some massive shots from Benn.

    Are you an idiot or something? Chavez never came close to being stopped in his prime, Eubank did, Watson II

    Ok well answer me this. Was Chavez ever as close to being stopped in his prime as Eubank was in Watson II yes or no?

    You made an ad hominem and a strawman argument all in one sentense. Good job! Chavez DID have a great chin but my point was he didn't get flush nearly as often as people want to make out. You see how silly you look when you call someone an idiot when it is obvious that your reading comprehension is not exactly on point.

    Another strawman argument. Chavez did have a great chin but he didn't get hit flush as often as people remember or think.
