    Khan and benn..yes, LL,hatton and haye..no, LL was knocked out twice by powerpunches, Hatton takes alot of shot and haye has only been stop due to stamina problems.

        I sort of like Bruno too. Hope he's gotten his life together.

        Bruno wasn't just chinny, but he didn't know when to take a knee. He'd get hurt from the shots, and would be basically out on his feet, but never took a knee when he should have.

          Lots of fighters are like that, it's actually kind of ****** when you think about it. I guess its just that fighting heart thing. I always saw taking a knee as quite a good tactic to get out of trouble (for them, not me, I don't box) but then again do it too much and you lose on points anyway. I kind of admired Gary Lockett in the Pavlik fight, he was geting beaten up but always kept his head, took a knee when he had to, got up and tried hard to do the right things.

                  ironically enough Dirrell has admitted to being hurt in one of his fights and said he was fighting through a fog

                  Andre ward was decked by Kenny Kost and apparently he was down against another fighter on his way up

                  Berto was rocked by Rivera & Estrada

                  Dawson was down against Adamek & Harding ,hurt by Glen Johnson

                  the Americans have no room to talk IMO with their current crop of talent as far as punch resistence goes

                      no he was fighting outdoors and it was foggy. dirrell has an excellent chin. he's only been down 1 and a half times as opposed to calzaghe's 3. obvvvvvvvvvv
