Andrade definately needs consideration although in my opinion no one takes a shot like John duddy. It's not normal to take punches like he does and can't be good for your health in the long run.
Sam Peter deserves a mention also although you wouldnt think it from the Mccline fight lol. Joe C has a solid beard.
Another fighter who deserves a mention is De La Hoya. He's fought some wicked punchers and only ever got stopped by a body shot from a big middleweight in BHOP. He had no business fighting at that weight so we can forget about that one.
DUDDY? Who's shots has he taken? I know you aren't about to call Smidget world class.
I think it has to go to Andrade. Kessler landed everything in the book against him and after the fight he didn't seem to have a scratch. I remember Max asking him something about him being human because from the beating he took you would've thought his face would have been mangled. Im looking forward to seeing him fight this weekend for that reason alone.
50-something year old Marion Wilson, though he may not be "active" I haven't heard of him retiring. Until then he's it hands down. Next closest probably Mosely or Tua.
Jessie Felicaino(whoever you spell his name--the guy who fought kermit Cintron) has a nice sturdy beard. He was taking some bombs from Cintron and kept coming foward.
Carlos Baldomir, Kassim Ouma, Shane Mosley, all have nice beards. The can take some punishing blows and keep on fighting.
