No he didn't. The first time it really got tested in a big way he got stopped/quit -
To this day I still say Tex Cobb is not human.

U for real? He was clearly suffering from brain injuries early in the fight and took some real bombs from one of the most savage punchers in the history of the SMW division not to mention the heavy shots he shipped against the best p4p puncher ever in most peoples opinion in Julian JacksonOriginally posted by SCtrojansbaby View Post

He's probably one of those douchebags that makes fun of McClellan's condition. They usually get themselves banned at some point since that **** doesn't play around here.Originally posted by The Surgeon View Post

Oh and McClellan didn't really take any of Jackson's big punches.
P.S. It is obviously sad what happened to McClellan as a result of that fight boxing is a brutal sportLast edited by SCtrojansbaby; 06-26-2011, 12:00 PM.Comment

He shipped enough....Originally posted by SCtrojansbaby View Post
And i dont think u can fault his chin because he got brain damage during a fight, part of the game and it could happen to anyone its just one of those things imoComment

In boxing the term chin is used more as a broad term for punch resistance. And of course its no ones fault that they aren't able to take punches that is something that for the most part is god givenOriginally posted by The Surgeon View PostComment

Nah, Im goin to disagree. The shots he ate from Kessler was impressive, no doubt, but he was dropped by a head shot from Bute and also was hurt and dropped against Yusaf Mack.Originally posted by It's Ovah View Post
I would say that pre-Cotto Margarito had a better chin in terms of modern day fighters.
oh, and yes McClellan did take big shots from Jackson, I particularly remember the right hand landing. from that fight on McClellan was supposedly have headaches, and sparring with heavyweights didnt do him any good either.
McClellan took the punches of two of the hardest punching fighters p4p of the last 30 years. I think its very safe to say his chin was excellent.Comment
