          Sometimes punch resistance/ chin improves you moe up in weight and don't have to drain yourself

            exactly! as you get older you naturally put on weight and to be fighting in the same weight class for all those years he might find new life and get his legs back somewhat and what i fail to understand how people can **** on a fighter like that with the mentality of kill or be killed, thats my kind of fighter. to many people go off of the won loss record, who cares as long as the boxer makes good fights its good for boxing. he makes good fights

              Yeah, that happened for Cotto! His chin was very questionable at JWW, but i dont think Bailey's chin is bad, he went the distance with Cotto.

                The punch that Bailey dropped Urango with was a very short Right, I'm sure they will realize this and hopefully use that to his advantage when he gets crowded. But also early in the fight Bailey was using good angles to the left and then to the right and so on to set up punches against Urango. He's very tall for a JWW so he might do good there, he definitely needs to understand not to fight down to a shorter guys size, that hurt him against Urango. And again about his chin, I think that punch from Urango would have dropped about anyone and also Bailey was tiring before he was hit with it, mostly from fighting in a shrunken down position and taking body shots while backing up.

                  if you can't beat a slow as urango at 140, you ain't going to do **** at 147.

                    I don't know if I've ever seen a more limited champion than Randall Bailey. The guy literally only has one punch. That's it. He has no jab, no hook, no uppercut, no movement, no slickness, no chin, etc. It's pretty incredible that he's remained relevant for as long as he has.

                      My feeling exactly. I'm surprised everyone here hasn't pointed that out. I was amazed at how Randall hardly put two punches together. At that rate he has no future in boxing.
