    Patterson went in the 1st twice v Liston other fighters lasted a lot longer v a younger faster fisted Liston.

    I'm not saying that it is - and I'm not passing judgement on anyone, but simply answering a statistical question.

    Yes he took Marciano`s shots well and I`m sure Marciano landed harder shots than the blows that put Charles down in his other fights.

    Sorry, I read it back and that was probably the most ****y way I could've written it, I meant Ezzard was actually dropped more than 29 times
    Again, I didn't mean it as blunt as that, Satterfield dropped him 3 times. You didn't include them in your list. I was just adding to it
    I know but I think he still accomplished as much/more at LHW, I can see an argument for both tho.
    No. I was saying that as whole I'd put Charles at LHW, I never said he didn't count, he was after all a HW at the Highest Level. But alot Ezzard's KDs weren't at HW, I'm much more familiar with Charles than I am Patterson but I'm pretty sure Floyd has more at HW. Not that it ultimately Matters, they were both Dropped.

    Price's chin isn't that bad, he just freezes really badly when he's hurt or tired.

    You're right, I didn't include the Satterfield knockdowns on my list. Why do you think that is?

    The knock out that Erkan Teper delivered on Price proves otherwise son

    Watch this@ 5 min 45

    Had it not been for Prices disastrous chin, he may gone on to have picked up a world title strap and defended it. Let that sink in.

    He could have has Oliver McCall's chin and he wouldn't have been a world champion, he freezes far too much far too easilly. He was a deer in the headlights that entire fight.

    Wlad was 41 year old, shot to bits and indescribably didnt go for the finish. He admits after the fight that he made a mistake by listening to his corner and not going for the kill. AJ was hanging out of his own behind

    Wrong.

    David Price was a world title worthy fighter with a dodgy chin, until that second loss to Tony Thompson. The psychological damage of putting him back in with Thompson to get another pasting, is something he has never recovered from.

    To this day, he admits that those demons robbed him of his prime and he never recovered from it.

    Now Hearn is prepared to make the same mistake again by rushing Femi Joshua in with Ruiz Jr...

    Bruce Seldon had an atrocious chin. And, honestly, Michael Moorer's was only slightly better.

    Ol' Jimmy Smith is the gold standard.
