    Canzoneri should certainly be included and i've no objection to Andrade's inclusion.

    Anyone want to select Ali?

    The guys i'll insist on appearing in a ten are - Greb, Walker, Gibbons, LaMotta, Britton and Toney. They are must haves I think.

    Librado Andrade's chin is unbelievable.

    On top of the Kessler fight, check out some of the shots he eats without a problem vs. Yusef Mack.

    Scary stuff. Looked like his ****ing head was going to fly off his shoulders.

    How about Grim, or Cobb?

    Have any objections with Kid Gavilan, Julio Cesar Chavez, or David Tua?

    Good picks, I think Gavlian is a fighter who can make it in because of his style - aggressive without great power. Also never stopped, I think he's comparable to Britton. Great argument for him being in the ten.

    odd question. but chris had an actual big jaw, it was a big sticky out piece of body. anyone know if this played into his hands? did it make him more resistant to the punches of nigel benn etc?

    I do, yeah, but it just caught me funny. Although it's not, it had the ring of something vaguely racist, and the fact that you said "odd question" at the beggining for some reason put me in mind of Prince Phillip before one of his terrible gaffs. You could see him asking an African tribal woman this question, "odd question, but I bet that jaw means you can take a mean punch, it's huge. Are you a man or a woman?"

    Anyway, a big jaw would obviously help slightly with absorption at the point of impact, though I don't know how serioust the difference would be.
