    So, now all of a sudden Haye isn't an ATG puncher? What about the man they call the white Tyson? Would they call him that if he weren't a puncher or are all the Tyson supporters in the Tyson VS Valuev thread just more delusional than I thought about their tiny American hero? Didn't Holyfield knock out Tyson before Valuev embarrassed him? :think I say good day to you, sir!

    The only one i know of is the tatooed Jw from Glendale,Ca the one who lost a disputed decision to Zab Judah. He had a great chin only ko loss was to huge puncher Randall bailey but Lopez was way past it was inactive,old and coming off a long jail stint, even then he took some big bombs from Bailey, Also took Tszyu,Bollilo Gonzalez,Fuentes,Poncho Sanchez best shots all serious one punch bombers. Also took Laporteand a prime Israel Cardona best shots who were also a good punchers. Im sure being a slick boxer in his prime,and able to roll with punches also had something to do with it, but make no mistake ive seen him take flush bombs and not even wince.

    Haye broke his hand. And Chagaev was never a puncher. Not to say he is feather fisted though.

    Haye has two hands, last I checked. Both full of dynamite. Chagaev clearly is known for his Tysonesque strength, hence the nickname and Holyfield knockout out Tyson and put Ray Mercer down for the first time in his career. Valuev is never so much as stunned by the hardest punchers. Neil Kirkwood, with all his chest strength could not even phase him, you saw the video in this very thread.

    Just wanted to make sure we are talking about the same guy. I grew up with Hector. We had the same trainer, went to the various boxing gyms together. Amazing all the pro's that we worked with when they were just coming up. Hector was slick and could take a hellacious shot! Don't remember him being in with Judah though. Good list of chins is why I noticed your picking Hector.

    The best chin I've ever seen is Wayne McCullough, no doubt, though I'd always mention James Toney in these discussions as well.
