Is it his fault that he has a lot of skill to go along with his granite chin? Should he throw boxing out the window and just stand and trade?

He's gone to war with many elite boxers and has taken monsterous shots from everyone that boxing has to offer 122-130, and he's kept on coming.

What evidence is there to suggest that Morales' chin is "slightly above average"? I mean, I respect your opinion and all but I gotta go ahead and say thats an unwarranted statement with the whole "slightly above average" chin thing. Never been KOed, never been knocked down, never been seriously hurt to the point where he could have been finished.

Sure he's been hurt by punches before, but so has McCullough and every other great fighter who isn't named Marvin Hagler.

That is a disgusting political propaganda signature that is supposed to suggest George W Bush represents Christianity and Christian values in some way. He has a cut on his side like Jesus which is also offensive.

Toney's chin was tested in the Holyfield fight. He took some good shots from Holyfield and even though Holyfield is old, old fighters they say tend to retain their power. Toney has never been hurt by anybody at any weight class, he also did take a few shots from Ruiz. And like I said Tua is not really active. Tua is an overrated fighter.

george bush does represent christianity to some people.

anyway back to the subject, holyfield was never a big puncher in the first place, plus he was shot. lets see toney take shots from corrie sanders, vitali klitschko, sam peter david tua etc before making these statements.

.

To which people. I have asked this question before. How can you be a Christian and a Zionist or even Pro Jewish at the same time. When in Jewish law it states that all Christians are to be exterminated "quote=even the best of the Christians" and other such things. People that are brainwashed by evil forces think Bush represents Christianity.

Just for the Record the Presbyterian Church and Lutheran Church have an economic bycott against Isreal. Secondly you cannot be Christian and be a zionist at the same time by virtue of Christian Dogman. Which holds that God made a new Covernant and that is with Christians. People that think you can be zionst and be Christian at the same time are totally brainwashed and have no real understanding of either concept. Anyway he represents the relgion of Pat Robertson which is hardly distinguishable as being Christian. If Bush ever proclaimed himself as taking his actions in Christian prinicple that would be the most disgusting and offensive thing ever.

paul750
07-18-2005, 07:20 PM
it's a modern world and times move on, you cannot please every faith/religion it's impossible, what you can do is try your best to be sincere and believe in what your're doing, and do it for good reason, and for the benifit of the world population.

The Troll
07-18-2005, 07:24 PM
If you say your a zionist or that you are pro Jewish. You are effecitvely saying it is fine and good if Jews ethnically clense 400,000 Americans or Palestinians with flame throwers and Uzi's as long as it in some way benefits Jews. Giving money to Isreal affirms the way of thinking afforementioned as the US government led by George Bush does.

This kind of thing of thinking is not in any way compatable with Christian Theology (ANY KIND OF CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY OR DOCTRINE.)

Tonyeyshouldn't be punished for fighting as a middle/cruiserweight during his prime. He still has one of treh more well-tested chins have ever seen. I have followed him since way back in the day and i have never seen him staggered or hurt by a punch.

If you give one cent of your money to Isreal or to essentially any Jewish cause. You are saying with your money that the Jewish Doctrine, not just Zionist doctrine, but Jewish doctrine. That if Jews ethnically clense 800,000 people by degutting them with knives it is fine and good as long as the action benefits Jews.

Again this theology is not compatable with Christian theology. Which is based on concepts like treat others as you would yourself etc.....Be kind, be mercifull, have forgiveness, greed is a sin etc....

Chin and heart both compliment each other well. Diego Corrales hasn't got a amazing chin but his heart drags him up every time. :) A true warrior

Floyds is pretty untested at the moment as he rarely gets hit proper flush to test his chin. :) All skill that lad

Morales is definatly up there with the best chin but also his amazing fighting spirit too

Youre probably a gay Tito fan huh? Mayorga has the best chin in the buisness with Castillo and Morales at close equals. If Tito, a man whos considered one of the hardest punchers in the past years couldnt knock him out with a couple free shots then he has the best chin in the buisness. And Tito didnt really KO him it was more his body took too much of a beating....did you watch the fight or you one of those guys who hears about it and then wants to speak on it.....ya douchebag.

Leave it to McKay to begin spouting his anti-semitic beliefs wherever he goes. The discussion can be about boxers with great chins, nice cars, or your favorite breakfast cereal and everything is "Zionist this", "the Jews are running the country" blah, blah, blah.

Even if they really are, I would still say **** it, let em. They've had enough **** heaped on them throughout history. Besides, most of the Jews I've encountered have been highly intelligent educated liberals anyway. I'd rather have them at the helm of my country then some bible thumping rednecks.

Morales took shots from Pacman all night long. Pacman has a brutal straight left, and he was tagged with several. It wasn't until the 12th that he was really hurt, and by then he was tired.

For me, the guys with the best chins are Oliver McCall, Tua, and Toney. A lot of the smaller fighters have good chins, like Mayorga, but they don't get hit nearly as hard as the heavyweights. Still, there are a bunch of guys boxing that can take a hell of a shot.
