    I think he hits hard enough believe me. Even Matthyse said he felt his power the night they fought.

    Underrated in the sense that when he sits down on his shots, he gets fighters respect. Whitaker didn't do that a lot in his career.

    The way he got beat down by Tito was a prime example of him having a chin. If I'm not mistaken, Whitaker's jaw got broken in that fight.

    Most boring combination in boxing. Makes for terrible undercard bouts.
    If you have no personality like a Mora your screwed. Thats the only reaso Paulie done well.

    I prefer fighters like Khan, Price, Kirkland. Power and no Chin. Makes for more fun.

    Depends on how loose the definition of "no power" is. Barney Ross, Harry Greb and Billy Graham had ATG chins, but even though they weren't punchers they weren't exactly feather-fisted either.

    McCullough is probably the best example I can think of, especially above bantamweight. Billy Conn had an excellent chin, but little power.

    ajose,

    bradley - not feather fisted, but below average, maybe doesnt fall under the 'no power' section
