All of these had more than just a great chin, but their chins helped them a great deal on quite a few of their wins.
Salvador Sanchez
Azumah Nelson
Ray Mancini
Antonio Margarito
Evander Holyfield
Ricardo Lopez
It is just my personal opinion. Kosta was not even near his prime(closer to 37) and coming off of various injuries. I have seen Hatton wobbled too many times to say he had a great chin.
He had not lost his power.
That is the last thing to go, and had claimed he was in excellent shape before the fight, and the layoff had really helped him freshen up and get back into prime form.
So who should I believe about what type of shape and condition Zoo was in...
Him?
or you?
....
A lot of these guys had more then just their chins though.
Jake Lamotta had great upperbody movement. Ali still had a class A jab to help him plus a good right hand. James Toney had amazing reflexes. David Tua had power. Hagler had a lot of things other then his chin.
I'd say Maricano, Mayorga, Baldomir, and Margarito belong on that list. Ross Purity too.
srsly but he was amazing in other ways tooYour right! That damn left hook to the head and body was amazing. I saw one of his fights last night when he went up to light heavy and he took alot of punishment and dealt out just as much to win the fight by knockout.
Rocky Marciano... I think he was so successful because of the great punch he could take. Many of his victories came due to ability to take his opponents best shots until he was able to land his big right hand. Same case could be made about Jake Lamotta and even JCC who took a lot of punishment but because their chin held up they were able to come on as the fight progressed.
how can youn say he didnt have a great chin? Did you see the beating Kostya put on him? Yeah he beat him but those were some thundering shots. I just saw the fight again last night.
