    Wow.... a lot of anger.

    Well let's see... how many world class fighters did Wilson fight? He did fight some guys called Ibeabuchi, Golota, Briggs, Botha, Norris, Maskaev, Rahman, Peter, Thompson and McCall.

    As for your self-evident fact, how come a world class fighter like Wlad Klitschko or Floyd Patterson has a weak chin? World class fighters have better chins on average, but as those examples show, it's not a certainty at all.


    There are plenty of uppercut KO's and the Ayala fight is just one of them, against a fighter with proven durability. Oh, and for some reason, Ayala took every, what you would call KO punch - left hooks and straight right hands - with no problem. Yet that punch that doesn't really lead to knockouts left him out cold.


    The fact that one-punch KO's are rare and the fact that the uppercut is the least used punch leads to few one-punch uppercut KO's, but they are there none the less. It's simple statistics.

    I take that back.

    This thread at least proved something: If 22 out of 175 voters think Lewis did NOT win that fight, then it is normal to have three judges out of the whole PLANET who scored that fight a draw. :roll:

    Here is a demonstration of exactly how much I care about whether you agree or not about what was, after all, a complete side-issue.......
