Examples of boxers who cant take what they dish out??

hopkins

 

Pipino Cuevas. Absolutly concussive power but a terrible chin.

Arturo Gatti - Loved having massive weight advantages but got stomped at 147

 

Re: Wlad, does anyone seriously believe that he could take some of his own punches and not get KO'd?

 

how do you figure?? :huh

 

was talking about the punches he took from corrie sanders and brewster and nearly knocked down by davarryl williamson who is a tooth pick compared to him

 

miguel cotto, he can really put the hurt on but isn't too good at taking back.

 

you mean when he was literally dying?

if i understood it right....

 

Earnie Shavers. Great power but his chin wasn't as great as his power.

 

If Tommy Hearns had a better chin he had the skills to be GOAT. I firmly believe that.

 

Felix Trinidad got dropped quite a bit earlier in fights but came back to win them except in the Hopkins & Jones fights.

Terry Norris. Good power, **** chin.

RJJ doesn't have the ko power anymore but still has good power but a bad chin as of now.

I would know I'm a fan of all three:silly

 

Jesus Christ, Duran is NOT an example of that. Yeah, he quit. One time in 119 fights from 119 pounds to 176. He fought Leonard 3 times, Hearns, Benitez, Hagler, Camacho, Castro, Barkley, Pazienza, Marcel, Buchanan, De Jesus...etc. Apart from one fight he dished it out and took it from 1968 to 2001 for ****'s sake. He was renowned for punching power and an iron jaw. Duran? For that one fight? Come the **** on!

 

:deal

If all you know about Duran is the "no mas" fight, you're not a real boxing fan.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl:roflatschatschatschatsch


You could of just said Vlad is white therefore cannot be knocked out, the other black guys get KOd though for sure!

 

There are quite a few examples of fighters with concussive power having somewhat suspect chins.

Nigel Benn is a good example of a British fighter. Plus you've got Haye and Khan at the moment.

In reply to an earlier comment, I'd argue that Hearns is an all time great anyway, but if he had a good chin he could have been even better no doubt.
