    A bit overhyped. Not BAD but clearly only a regional boxer. Think he's retired?

    Fields chin was not that bad to be honest. His problem was recovery skills. Fields is a very nice guy trust me. I met him a few times. He did the best he could with his god given talents. Lets be honest he took to many steroids. After I met Fields I was a big fan of his I wont lie. He just could not recover when he got in trouble. I wish Steward would have spent more time with him.

    Well, I don't know... His chin didn't hold up against Monte Barrett and Barrett was a massive underdog in that fight. I suppose there are worst...

    There are worse chins, but I can't think of another fighter who was being sold as world class potential and who turned out to have such a rotten combination of glass chin, porous defense, and **** poor survival skills.

    Nothing personal against Tye, but it must have been more than a little embarrassing getting blown away so quickly by a guy who was so much tinier, like Barrett.

    It's grade A china.

    I'd like to see him face off with David Price to see whose glass chin shatters first. :yep

    :bart (the man is retired! Why bother him? Let Price be at peace)

    :huh(well, I am sure he'll want a comeback. Price is a dangerous man, still)

    :think(It'd be a good fight, fans would enjoy it. Heck, it's possible)

    :scaredas:(That would be a good fight on paper. Two giants slugging it out for a couple rounds. Yeah!)

    :thumbsup(Good idea!)

    :deal(BOOK IT! BOOK THIS FIGHT NOW!)

    :dead(Just died thinking about how many chins would shatter that night)

    No defense, very slow, clumsy, poor boxing skills. He isn't even a very good amateur. He makes Primo Camera look like Muhammed Ali.
