    I give my opinions and don't always want to put in the effort to justify myself either because I'm busy doing something else or I'm just being lazy. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Either way, I'm not forcing you to read them.

    But yes I am the king as well.

    In all seriousness I eat at Burger King about three times a week due to my work being near it. Not healthy.

    Yeah, it's better than McDonalds. If my work was near a Burger King I'd be in everyday. I must confess to being a former season ticket holder in those premises.

    This thread has been an entertaining informative read.. let me break down the fight as I saw it:

    Stonehands-Manassa was a decent scrap early, but ended in a TKO after round 4, as Manassa obviously was not mentally prepared for this fight. Shades of Oliver McCall in Lewis-McCall 2.

    Manassa surprisingly ostracizes Stonehands through the press in the post-fight conferences and interviews. A rematch is sought out and generally a popular idea among the boxing public.




    A sampling of thread titles from the internet boxing community after the fight:

    What if Manassa had actually tried?

    Did Manassa spare himself what was coming?

    Manassa would have KOed Stonehands!!@#

    Why FMJr is p4p #1 in history

    Manassa is a disgrace and needs to retire!

    Would Monzon stand a chance against Joe Calzaghe H2H?

    I'd give him a 7 for chin and 9 for durability during his prime he was very hard to stop like Louis or Moore you could knock them down but it was very difficult to stop them.

    Good point to separate chin and durability too.

    I'm going to have a go at rating the chins you posted earlier. Try and get all the criteria together and come up with a sensible rating for them.

    I'll have a go at this.

    Lewis - 5-ish (maybe 4?)

    Hearns - 4-ish (maybe 5?)

    Moore - 7-ish

    Leonard - 7, maybe 7.5
