      well, ali was floored by cooper, but your boy foreman was floored by young. who would you rather be floored by? enough said.

                    Holmes man...that guy has the heart of a lion. I just can't believe how he got up from Shavers hardest punch. It was clean to his jaw/chin and definitely the hardest he could throw. Shavers is probably the second hardest hitter ever so that makes it even more impressive.

                      Chin

                      I determine a person's chin not by how many times they are knocked down but by how many times they don't get up. Part of having a chin is adjusting and re-composing yourself after being hurt...so Robinson and Ali are 1-2 when it comes to chins, with Hagler a close third. Had Hagler been in a few more wars like the ones he had with Mugabi and Hearns, we would know if he measured up to Ali and Robinson...but with Ali and SR Rob...it was no doubt, NO ONE could knock these guys out and they fought a lot of ****ers over and over again...that's CHIN.
