    Obviously. I look forward with great anticipation to Dirrell's long undefeated reign at SMW and LHW.

      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
      True. I don't know that we've got much better though. I checked out that Brook vid today and TBH while I can see he has talent I don't think he'll make it at the highest level. I felt his reflexes were a little bit too slow for his style, what do you think?

          It's all about jaw muscles; Yanks are chewing on hotdogs and wolfing down big fat cheeseburgers, thus strengthening up their jaw muscles. Whereas them Brit Phags are sitting daintily, slurping back cups of tea.

            I agree on everyone but Hatton, I think its a bit of a stretch to call him 'chinny', his style does after all rely on taking shots to land shots and he's been stopped once ever. I'm not completely sure its fair to call Lewis chinny either. Benn was quite chinny though, yes.
            Yeah but his opponents had to endure pure hell when trying to crack it. Benn was a mean SOB.

              i too was worried about the kind a chances he was taking leaving his chin out but maybe he knew how limited Barrie Jones was even still a cause for concern i agree he will deffo have to sort it out as he moves up in class or he will not make it i agree

                Don't forget all the beef jerky and chewing tobacco those redneck yanks love so much!

                    I also feel that our inferior teeth fail to reinforce our jaw in the manner of the American's perfect rows of pearly white gnashers.
