    Audley Harrison and David Price both fought as if they were terrified (when fighting a decent level).

    Since the Wlad fight AJ has looked far more wary and clearly does not like getting hit

    In the Ruiz rematch he was on his bike as well

    Surprised he hasn't been mentioned yet but Shane Mosley. Shane's face visibly showed throughout his entire career how uncomfortable he was with getting hit, it's weird because he had a great chin, but you could see it on his face, his heart dropped every time he would get hit with something flush.

    Taking punches if you are able to avoid them is not a good thing.

    Yes.

    Did you watch the bouts? Did you see what going toe to toe did to him?

    AJ has become scared after Ruiz sparko'd him

    AJ from a few years ago would have walked through someone like Pulev but he fought very scared for no reason.

    Yes, but sometimes if you want to win, you need to risk. There were abnormal fighters like Margarito, Provodnikov and Gatti who fought like berserks, probably because they wasnt skilled enough and had no other options than to go balls out and land a power punch. Rigo on other side is skillful, but he would rather embarass himself, than to risk. I have never seen him dropped, but not being really hurt, so i assume he is not glass chinned, but he doesnt have warrior mentality and will to win.

    His job is to win not to take punches he can avoid. Look at Margarito now he is truly ****ed up because he took to many punches as his defence was his face.

    I dunno about not getting hit but Amir Khan sure loved to get hit right at the tip of his jaw.
