    How good is it? I don't know much about MMA at all. But i just saw him getting layed out by a single punch from Mighty Mo. He is as big as Valuev but not half as durable, or was this a one time lucky punch?
    How does he compare to Sem schildt all things considered?

    Semmy schildt is a million times better, in terms of hong man chois chin it is definately ok, mighty mo might not be that skilled but he is a big puncher, and as he isn't at risk in alot of fights he throws huge hayemakers that if landed on alot of people could ko them. Not really a valid point but botha said mighty mo hits harder than lewis or tyson, that's bull**** in my opinion but botha has fought all three so i guess in some respects he knows more than me. However the punch's lewis and tyson hit him with he probably couldn't remeber as he was more than on ***** street after the huge shots they hit him with.

    No shame in getting laid out by Mo. Mo is a huge puncher. Them Samoans normally are with there stocky powerful builds. Anyway Choi`s chin is huge! It cant be that hard to hit!

    He may have a point. Botha`s been laid out quite a few times. Then again the one that Tyson hit him with was a titanic right hand.He couldnt even get of his hands let alone back on his feet.

    Choi also gasses out like nobody's business.

    Choi is big and slow, so he can't get out of the way of a punch. He has Taken shots from Schiltz, Sapp, Mo, Gary Goddrich and others, and has gone down only once. He has a very good chin.

    Despite Schilt being much more skilled, Choi did technically beat him, although I thought the decision was wrong.
