Is N'Dam the toughest guy in the sport?

He is either p4p #1 in resiliency & recuperative ability or #2 right behind Marquez.

 

What a tough guy... definitely a future parkinsons/dementia candidate!

 

Yeah, I worded it strangely, I mean he's not the toughest in a sense that he doesn't really have a great chin like some others i.e. Provodnikov or Rios. He's definitely one of the biggest hearts though.

 

I missed this thread and my own about HNN but have to agree dude is all heart and guts.

He must be one of the toughest guy there.

 

Except he doesn't usually absorb that many big hits. Just that when he does he bounces off the canvas.

I missed the 2nd half of the Lemieux fight, though, and it sounded like he was indeed soaking up damage. Wasn't the case with Quillin, though, or most of his other fights. He's the kind of guy that can be slick & elusive 95% of a fight and then get decked hard outta nowhere (and then repeatedly from then on) - but you never see him just shelling up on the ropes getting battered for long stretches with his guard down or anything.

Not a Parkinson's candidate, IMO.

 

He doesn't really take huge punches does he? He goes down with any decent punch huge heart though
