    Pot -- kettle. It's hilarious how a guy who sits around in front of his computer all day judges and derides posters on a boxing forum for debating the toughness of prizefighters and asks what any of the posters in the debate would know about toughness in this effeminate wigger type ebonics or some ****. He then straps on his helmet because right after he posts he has to get on the short...... err, "special" bus and lick his favorite window en route to SPED classes, but before he goes he makes some type of lame and autistic joke about the toughness of said posters.

    This IS a boxing forum, so I'm sure there are a decent amount of posters who have at least some type of boxing experience. But you are right about the unemployed losers that dont have a tough bone in their body who also have atrocious eating habits and live their lives in total comfort at mom and pop's place and the irony involved in them discussing the toughness of a actual fighters. Ive seen you posting here for years and can say without a single doubt you're part of the latter group.

    Internet message boards are made up of a pretty diverse population of posters. So again, since this IS a boxing forum, I'm sure there are plenty of trained fighters and or boxers in some capacity or another. Military Veterans tend to follow one or more combative sports and if they are a part of the Combat Arms element of their branch of service they train to fight and work out hard. Im sure they know more about toughness than most prizefighters if not all of them. I know for a fact there is a sizable population of veterans who post here as well. The unfortunate thing is that this is an open forum which again, unfortunately, means this place is littered with obese, diabetic, pampered circus clowns who come here and try to act tough to escape their reality. Brother, one thing I can tell you is that it's you guys and your attempts to come off as tough to escape your pathetic lives that ruin this place and should have no say on ANY topic here, especially when toughness is being discussed.

    Prizefighters are men who fight and get paid professionally to do so as a form of entertainment for others. They put themselves out there and chose to do it and accept money for doing it knowing full well it's a part of the entertainment industry. So that means anyone can go on any public fighting forum and rate, debate, backseat drive, and either sensationally overpraise their favorite fighters or type **** all day and night about fighters they dont like. Even a stone cold effeminate pre-op like yourself, I mean it's youre right. Talking **** about other posters and how they have never faced anything tough in life is highly ironic coming from one of the most bitchmade clams on this site. I dont need to know you or you're background to be able to tell with 100% certainty that youve never faced a tough anything in your life, but even if you had you obviously would have folded worse than a lawn chair. I guarantee at least 80% of the posters here -- if they met you in person would ***** slap the **** out of you, throw you in a mini skirt and tank top then drag you down the street to its corner and trick out your ads for 5 cents a shot.

    We can debate whatever we want to about pro boxers and what they can and can't do as long as it relates to how they perform in a ring. Acting like a tough guy on such a forum because you're an effeminate and unwanted trick(and a cheap AF one at that) in real life while trying to call other posters a vag so you can feel tough for once....... It's just ****ing gay especially considering most posters here would dog check your little ass nuts if they ever saw you. ******.

    Weak competition at middleweight and a lower weight guy beat him. That sounds simplistic but, he didn't face a Marvin Hagler.

    at MW his chin is cast iron, there is no dispute.

    3G could lend his chin to the local blacksmiths an an anvil. And after use he'd just say "heehee no problem , good boy, no hurt, i love u all. see u again tomorrow?"

    It's obviously very good but he's smart enough to avoid slugging with the top hitters of his division like Jacobs and lemiuex. Im honestly tired of his "mexican style" catchphrase because he's very selective about when he'll use that style. I dont think it's a coincidence the last time we saw ggg eating shots to land 1 of his own was when he fought brook (a welterweight) and monroe (a light hitting technician). His fanboys exaggerate but so do his haters.

    We have yet to see him take a big solid combination on the chin from a serious puncher, but we've seen enough to know it's at least an 8.5/10 at middleweight. Far less proven than guys like jake lamotta, hagler, or James toney.

    Except he is. The guy who made the thread wrote "of all time" which is a joke.

    Especially if you put "chin" and "toughness" in 2 different categories.

    You've reached Pacboy level of delusion. They were insane round 03 to 2013.

    This is what stated to me.

    I would choose the fighters I mentioned over GGG any day of the week to back me up in a fight.
