    You really shouldn't laugh at your own jokes.

    Negative. I am not Rico. PM a mod to confirm if you are sad enough.

    No. His first line about being back from "Banned Camp" was hilarious.

    We also have differing opinions on Chins.

    Strongest - Oliver McCall or George Chuvalo

    :lol:

    Got to love how appropriate his name is.

    Prime Jose Luis Castillo had a hell of a chin.

    By what criteria do you evaluate who had a weak chin? First of all, the field is reduced somewhat because only exceptional fighters ever ascend to winning titles, so the very worst chins never make the cut, and serve as cannon fodder to those who are ultimately title bound. Of these championship winning fighters, it's valid to evaluate relative chin quality, and what better indicator do you have than which fighters lose by knockouts? It really isn't a slam against the fighters I mentioned because, you see, they also regained their titles on two occasions, but the knockout losses are a fact, and in the case of them being Asian is purely coincidental. It isn't fair of you to refer to me as being "anti-Asian" nor is it truthful or accurate based on, like I've said, my HIGH regard for Fighting Harada and Pacman. it was early and they were the first examples that came to my mind.

    McCall was the closest thing to indestructable in the boxing ring I've ever seen.

    For glass jaws, Herbie Hide takes the cake. I watched his fight with Bowe the other day, he was going down from shots on the arms :lol:

    Yeah,sure he is getting sparked by Williams,Cintron,Lujan,Bunamea-good fighters but they way he goes down.He was already out by Cintron's left hook,the right hand just made it murderous.
    But the last loss vs the journeyman was terrible,I mean he should think about retiring now or just give it another shot,one thing to get sparked by a bum and one thing by those guys.
    Plus I understand he had quite a good chin early on in his career.

    yeah mathysse should call it a career...everytime he gets hit with a solid punch he goes down like he was shot...that paul williams tko loss was brutal too...he was battered in the corner like how cat bats a piece of string before the ref jumped in...how did he have a 25-0-24ko record in the first place ill never know

    Personally I think Hagler's chin is a little untested as he never moved up in weight!!! Don't get me wrong I still think it's exceptionally strong, but I don't think I'd put it on the level of a McCall, Chuvalo or McCulloch.

    I don't care that he got knocked out by Mosley...nobody in history takes that sort of P4P beating that Margo took. His defence is his chin for gods sake!!! When my kids ask me about tough chins when I'm older, I'll def mention his name!!!
