    Mike Mccallum - Went right at a prime Julian Jackson, walked him down taking everything he had to offer and stopped him. Never down as a pro.

    Gerald Mcclellan - same as above plus was beating the **** out of Benn with a aneurysm or whatever

    James Toney - From MW to 250lb HW punchers Peter, Rahman, Ruiz

    Steve Collins - Mccallum, Eubank, Benn

    Matthew Saad Muhammad

    David Tua

    Pacquiao

    Hopkins - Mercado and Pascal put him down. Pascal has never even dropped, forget about stopping, any half decent SMW or LHW aside from Popkins. His whole negative style is built around not getting hit clean, wonder why.

    Ali - down or hurt against 3 sub 190lb "Heavyweights". He did somehow grow a chin later.

    Mosley - had a good chin but Forrest and Pacquiao dropped him.

    Chuvalo had a terrific chin but he covered up quite a bit and took far less shots on the chin than people realize. The same could be said of Tua I suspect after Barret dropped him (Yes, he was older and that can affect durability).

    LaMotta took sickening amounts of punishment from Robinson. It's insane that he was still up after the barrage he took from Robinson who could punch from hell. Your argument about LaMotta staying in his own weight class is silly and false. LaMotta moved up to LHW and although he got dropped from Norcini. He fought one of the hardest hitters P4P in Bob Satterfields above his best weight class. I'd put Jake ahead of George, personally.

    Zeljko Mavrovic that guy's chin against Lewis defied logic.

    And Holyfield fought him too. That's what the **** Evander does. I love him and Oscar for that.

    No challenge high enough. :happy

    Holyfield got ****ing robbed at gunpoint. Disgraceful judging. Holy turned back that clock 7 years for that one....

    PetethePrince is one of the best posters on this forum. Excellent fight predictions and analysis, especially Heavyweights. Real talk.

    GREAT FIND.

    Mavrovic was surreal. He had the GOAT Chin. I hate it how Klittards bash him and make fun of him. He got cancer shortly after fighting Lennox.

    Rumors were that Lennox damaged him (forever), but the chin was the greatest I ever seen. Lennox was using his face as target practice for 9 Rounds straight.

    Prime Mavrovic will clean out today's division outside of Wladimir.

    He didnt get Cancer. It was some rare disease that ate away at his muscular system. He's healthy and owns a organic farm or something with his hot wife.

    As for the last line you're overrating him quite a bit. Definitely would have liked to see him been able to continue his career though.
