    Never down in his career aside from voluntary taking a knee against Benn.

    His career was too short to answer that question, but his chin certainly solid. There was no problem with his chin, but there was a problem with his defense.

    Exactly.

    I think the Benn fight showed the quality of McClellans chin but also his defensive limitations. I think someone like a RJJ or Toney would’ve really exposed those flaws at 168 or 175 if the Benn tragedy didn’t happen.

    Jackson landed on him a few times and looked like it didn't do much. Good enough for me.
