Dale Brown is Canadian. He was also a three time world title challenger who gave a prime Jirov a tough test, until he slugged with him, and lost a highly controversial decision in an IBF title fight to O'Neil Bell, a fight most thought he won. Kelvin Davis is a former IBF champion of the world. Those facts alone defy the definition of "club fighter."
Not sure I get the chin discussion... And pretty sure I have no idea how to call a guy's chin either one or the other, when he has yet to have it testet. If a guy is put to sleep from a slight grase, sure, but a guy who goes down from a hammer he didn't see? I don't see the shame in that.
Man stop riding Dings nuts. Mac can bang. His not my favoruite cup of tea but he is on the fringes of world class contention and does hold "a" world title.This fight ends in a KO thats a dead cert. With Dings big punch and sound chin he could put Mac to sleep anywhere between 6-7 but remember Mac also has the equaliser.
But Ding has PROVEN he can take the big punches and then deliver his own. Maccinarelli, on the other hand, was stopped by some tomato can with a .500 record, and rocked multiple times by the mediocre Hobson. If Ding lands one of his concussive shots on that shaky chin, it will GOOD-NIGHt Maccinarelli.:yep
This is not a myth, every human has a limit for the amount of punishment they can take. And great fighters do not expose themselves to the powerpunches that can knock them out or just soften the impact of the punch. 'Glass jaw' fighters might not have as much stamina to withstand the blows and also just dont have the skills to avoid these punches.
That would be a hell of a fight if your other option fell through- dare I say, even a possible FOTY candidate the way it looks on paper. I'd love to see it :happy
