    His chin must go down as superb, I`ve seen him hit bang on a few times by very good punchers & the expression on his face never changes. Never ever seen him hurt or stunned, a complete fighter & as smooth as they have ever came.

    Is this Escobar fight available? I imagine it would be brought up all the time if it was.

    I've never fancied his chances in the 'what if Sal' hadn't died and moved up to Lightweight to face Arguello'.

    I'm surprised by this info to be honest, always seemed such a stern presence and was never hurt against the best punchers he faced, I genuine couldn't imagine seeing him buzzed or even flooded. Incomprehensible, I don't think I've ever picked him to lose via stoppage in any hypothetical.

    He had a very solid, world class chin.

    Gomez rocked him in the 7th round with a right cross-left hook combo. Rounds 3-7 of that fight were actually very close. Not nearly as one-sided as people make out, apart from the first and last rounds of course.
