    Not seen many Somaon boxers at all so it's hard to get a gauge how good their punch resistance is really. That said, physically they don't look like the most granite jawed types to me whereas, conversely, Nigerians (Joshua's mumsy is Nigerian) do.

    Deontay Wilder is a current top 5 heavyweight.

    Whyte would butcher that pillock

    I meant generally they do. Quite a lot of the Nigerians I've known are thick-set and strong looking, whereas that's not the case with many of the Somoans I've seen.

    Ibeabuchi/Tua video is a pertinent video to watch, showcasing two fine chins.

    You won't know about the limits of Samoan chins as you need one to be knocked out to determine that point. Go hunting for David Tua KOs and all you'll find is Tua standing and throwing

    Parker must be paternally white, Parker is not a very Samoan name or Joseph for that matter.

    They are could at taking head butts in wrestling, so a Somaon might be the best style match for Ward.

    If you look at it that way, then there are maybe 20 top 5 Heavyweights out there at the moment :!:

    Wrestling is a popular sport among them? I must say I am rather surprised to hear that.

    There's a very large Somoan community in London and none of the ones I've known have ever mentioned anything about wresting to me.

    The Rock, Rikishi, Roman Reigns, The Uso's, THe HEadshrinkers, Yokozuna, Rosey & Jamal, Umaga, they have loads, although they all appear to be part of the same family.
