    You act like as if fighters at the lower weights aren't supposed to score KDs and KOs. You seem to have something against lower weight fighters for some reason even though they tend to be more exciting to watch. Some of the smaller weight fighters we have right now are arguably better than these so called top level higher weight fighters that we have today.

    They're actually not. Usually when two elite 122s go at it there isn't a knockout scored. I mean Barrera hit Morales clean so many times it's not even funny. You should be able to take a shot at 122 if you are an elite fighter at the weight. They are tiny men.

    He's like Tito Trinidad, shows his vulnerability early in fights, but comes on strong and finishes the fight with a KNOCKOUT. I think because of that his fights are going to be alot more interesting going foward.

    Virtually every heavyweight fight should end up in KO's then.

    You've got it all wrong.

    Nobody with leaky defense will ever beat Inoway.

    It equates to having poor defense

    Why because he got knock down........

    Wow I promise some of the most ignorant things be said when someone gets a WiFi connection. These fighters are fighting other world class and TRAINED fighters. Because it's a contact sport, they may get touched. That trained fighter is suppose to hurt another trained fighter, because that's what they are trained to do.

    Too many goofy people questioning the chins of fighters who choose to put themselves into situations all these computer warriors would run from.

    Well yea, most of them actually do end in stoppage.

    Even the light hitting Ali stopped Foreman and Frazier. The human skull can only take so much. At that weight the men are hitting really ****ing hard.

    Wilfredo Gomez ko'd 42 out of 48 guys. Jamie Garza KO'd 44 of 54. Carlos Zarate KO's 63 of 70. Alfonso Zamora KO'd 32 of 38.

    That's just a snapshot. You are miles off.

    I guess Barrera wasn´t elite, because Junior Jones put him down several times.

    Like I said, you are right about your assessment that guys at higher weights clearly hit harder. But to state that elite fighters at 122 should never be knocked down is just stupid.

    Or you can just come out and say that you think Inoue has a weak chin.

    I've already posted the studies that demonstrate higher weight classes have higher KO rates.

    You've been trying to portray Inoue as having a poor chin. You are simply incorrect.

    What percentage were heavyweight KO rates above bantamweight and super Bantam?

    Defense has nothing to do with a Chin. Two completely separate things. Plenty of Iron Chinned fighters had zero defense.
