I'd like to see you take 200 of Chris Eubanks 1991 175+lb full-force punches and suggest there was nothing too hard about them.
Don’t know if it’s technically underrated , but I don’t see Ray Mercers beard get mentioned on here a lot and he could take a damn beating
Eubank stopped Benn and only landed a few hard shots, Eubank`s power was overrated, not all his shots were hard, a lot of his punches v Benn were just jabs and he backed off on the backfoot the whole fight, g-man punched harder than Eubank but missed a lot of his shots because of Benn`s head movement, he had Benn out cold early on.
Nigel Benn - Have to agree with most of the points above, no he couldn't hold a shot in the same regard as a Eubank or Steve Collins but he wasn't in any means chinny as I've seen some make out in the past. Chris Eubank Sr - Everyone in the UK realises that this bloke's head was made out of cement but when seeing numerous "best chin threads" I often don't see him immediately mentioned. Hard as nails. Lennox is another who has a better chin than some would like to believe.
Francisco Rodriguez Jnr. Juan Francisco Estrada Kohei Kono Ebihara Hiroyuki And just generally superflys and below with good chins.
No, he could be heavy handed and clearly punched harder than Watson, but he threw a lot of jabs in between moving a lot.
Hagler proved his chin v Hearns, Roldan and Mugabi, Ali proved his chin v Shavers and Foreman, the left hook that dropped Ali in the 15th v Frazier was devastating as was the right hand that Shavers dropped Holmes with.
