My other 6 for ultimate heart; Henry Armstrong, Ad Woldgast (no wonder the poor guy ended up with omelette for brains), Dennis Andries (having been butchered by Hearns he walked into the Kronk gym & said 'I want to learn how to box'), Barney Ross ( the cornermen pleaded with him to quit, then they pleaded with Armstrong to go easy. Barney was determined to die as a champion), Alexis Arguello & Matthew Saad Mohammed.

Has Jermall Charlo been in against enough big punchers to say he has a great chin?

I don't think taking J-Rock's punches is enough to make that determination.

Teo Lopez said it a lot. I know a lot of MexiCANS that do it also. We even were bowling next to black ppl and they still kept calling each other it. Young ppl love that word.

Like Breadman said, to them it is sometimes just a casual friendly word, to us it is a taboo - which sometimes makes people want to say it just to be edgy.

You should have the sense to know, its a nasty, dirty word. It should feel foul in your mouth like tasting sewage in seawater.

What exactly happened with Lomachenko that suddenly he not only loses to one of these unproven young guys at 135, but is being picked by Breadman to be a 49/51 underdog vs one of them at 130 too? Two years ago Lomachenko was considered an untouchable ATG, "one of the best ever," who everyone at 135 would struggle to go 12 rounds with when he was healthy, let alone beat him. "Nomaschenko" etc. Most people were picking him to stop Teofimo Lopez. Now suddenly these guys like Garcia, Haney, and Stevenson are not just going to be competitive with him, but beat him?

**** man, maybe he was never that good after all. Might be a waste of time to watch his next fight then. I thought I was tuning into something special, that's why I tuned in. Sounds like he might just be another talented guy but nothing unusual in the sport that you just gotta see because he's one of the best in history or anything like that. Maybe it was just a hype marketing machine type of thing after all.

Breadman had always said one of the youngsters would bet Loma. He was saying the Haney would beat Loma before Lopez did.

Breadman always short-changed Loma and Fury.

One of the youngsters, not all of them. And that was ridiculous. If Teofimo vs Loma was a 7-5 fight, and Loma had a bum shoulder, then everyone should be picking Loma by stoppage in the rematch, or 12-0, because that tells me Teofimo sucks if he can't dominate someone with one good arm. And the other young guys are no better than Teofimo so...

But the sport is bs, so that's why we get these weird results and soap opera storylines.

Loma can't KO Teo.
