    Are you stalking me and upset over a internet forum post from last week, Robbi?

    I don't think Chuvalo has a weak chin because he was TKO'ed by Foreman, but if you take enough abuse fights get stopped.

    Even happened with LaPorte.

    I never CLAIMED McCullough was hurt. I said he was stopped.

    And he was.

    Last week? Just to correct you this week. And it was Thursday.

    Thread title "Chins Failing As Fighters Move Up"

    Is it just me or is a fighters chin holding up as he moves up in weight class maybe the most impressive ingredient of the equation?

    Some of the greatest chins of all time have failed when said iron chinned fighter faced a far larger man.

    McCullough was dwarfed in size by Oscar Larios, and stopped by him.

    Why mention the above on the thread, and now your saying "I never CLAIMED McCullough was hurt. I said he was stopped" Your question being asked and your first post doesn't make sense. Your actually not awnsering your own question correctly.

    So you shouldn't have mentioned it in the thread which was about 'chins failing' I'm only pulling you up on something thats as clear as day that your wrong on.

    Are you personally hurt by that because you misinterprated what I was saying or what? :lol:

    If you want to play the semantics game, feel free.

    Hurt? I'm simply correcting you on something after you said 'strange' about my opinion on De La Hoya's power. And after I have replied on that you haven't came back to explain whats so strange about my opinion. It seems that you haven't cared to challenge me on my previous reply which made a mockery of your claims that McCullough's chin let him down against Larios.

    Instead of all this "are you hurt personally" reply and explain yourself. I never misinterprated you at all. You misinterprated yourself. You clearly said McCullough's chin failed as you mentioned his fight against Larios as an example of a fighters 'chin failing' after moving up in weight, which is of course wrong. I can only assume that because he never lasted the distance that equates to his chin failing in your eyes. Especially as you said I misinterprated you.

    I wasn't saying you were wrong. I haven't seen a lot of Hoya's earlier fights and I find it interesting that he never dropped anyone at that weight class.

    I wasn't mocking you. I actually didn't know that about Hoya and found it weird.

    Whitaker is far superior to Oscar based on skills but legacy is about the same infact DLH got the better legacy
