    Why even mention Griffith, Tiger Jones, Fullmer, Walker, Jones, Toney, McCallum? All weren't devavstating punchers.
    Add LaMotta to that list: The term "couldn't break an egg with a hammer" was invented for him. Jake got his stoppages by volume punching and accumulated punishment. Roy Jones at least could unload some power when he felt like it.

        I don't think anyone who saw Hagler walk through a Hearns right hand that drops a freaking light heavyweight could question his chin. At middleweight, Hagler is not getting stopped, end of story.

          Nobody knocks Hagler out at Middle. He may get outboxed by one of the greats, but it would be extremely close, and a very tough night for his opponent.
