    Where do you get this ****ing trash notion that Limond was a domestic circuit fighter?

    He's lost to two fighters, Alex Arthur (current champ) and Amir Khan. He was EU Boxing Champ and Commonwealth Boxing Champ.

    He was far tougher competition then Jimenez was for Gamboa, yet you rated the **** out of that performance now didn't you.

    Holyfield's been down 6 times, stopped twice, and wobbled in other fights.
    What a china-chinned bum. Sorry...I mean CHINA-chinned BUM.

    I don't think this fight was about chins as much as stamina and endurance.

    All of those things played a factor, no doubt - as I said they would before the fight. The point I'm emphasizing here, however, is that analyzing and rating chins can give you a good idea into who might win in an otherwise "pick 'em" fight, and also helps to predict upsets like Fraudley's loss to Sprott.

    I know it's helped me make more than my share of calls!:yep

    There are exceptions to every rule. Generally speaking, fighters with good chins do not get knocked down.:-(

    And it is especially rare for fighters with "unbelievable" chins to hit the canvas.

    Yeah. Every post of his on this subject pretty much shows he hasn't.

    Most fighter's chins are shaky to one degree or another.

    I am ****ing sick of this cotto chin thing. His chin wasn't what stopped him on Saturday. He took 2 ****ing knees voluntarily.

    That simple fact pretty much makes your self-awarded role as chinchecker redundant then.

    Every human being is capable of being concussed, it's a fact. People talk about McCall like he's some kind of God, chin-wise but his competition level wasn't great, and he would have been knocked down against Lewis had the fight continued, no-one can eat shots like that and not get buzzed by them.
