    Well, Malik Scott has a small head and isn't known for his chin.

    Ali said that Holmes had a peanut head but he definitely showed a solid chin all through his long career.

    Mercer is a bit of a misunderstood fighter. He had a very good jab, and solid right hand with a killer instinct to finish his man when hurt. I don't get this he had a small head business, Mercer had a fire hydrant like neck and a square head. He took a great punch. Holyfield did hurt and floor him though.

    Ray's biggest problem was focus and motivation outside the ring. You never knew which Ray Mercer would show up, but if the focused one did he wasn't an easy night for anyone!

    Right your correct on that still cringe when i watch Duran vs Hearns. They could have fought 10 times 9 out of 10 Duran doesn't get knocked out but he just got caught by a huge puncher right on the button.

    Ya Malik has a bit of a glass chin on him,, Now Holmes had a small head and quite a good chin. But, Mercer and Holmer both had a bit of an odd shaped skull wonder if that made it harder to land a truly flush flush shot on them just a thought lol

    Agreed. Holyfeild is rather underrated as a Heavyweight puncher. He did drop Mercer and Bowe. As well as a few other big men
