years going by don't make your chin better

You are the biggest American hater in the history of boxingscene. I don't hate european fighters, I hate there fans. But you straight up hate both. You are nothing but a hating troll.

It's called heart. He got back up and still one of the fight. Everybody gets dropped sometime in there career, what makes them great is when they get up and still win.

No, but it does strengthen your will, determination, sharpen your defense and you can work your neck muscles which effectively does strengthen your chin.

Being a young, green fighter to being a prime peak fighter can make a big difference to how well you can take a punch, react to a punch, defend yourself and shrug off a punch.

All that shows to me is that he learned early on what it means to be hit hard, hurt and how to survive, clear your head etc etc. That is what more fighters need to go through to be better prepared and it's one reason fighter today aren't as good. They don't get as much experience that only going through hell in a fight can teach you. If that had happened now in a big fight instead of back then, it could turn out very different. He's lucky it happened to him. Very good experience.

Doing a nice Roy Jones impression with Jordan shoes and shorts, oh and being dropped like a jawless bum.

He's also changed his style a lot since then. It's interesting but he looks like a clone of a young Mayweather in that fight without the defense. Now he's got his own style, though I much prefer the way he fought then.

Andre "I will never fight outside of Cali" Ward...dude will end up being a domestic version of Feix Sturm.

You guys can hate all you want. Nothing but haters. Pac got KO'd 3 times when he was younger. Look at him now. Ward knows how to wins fight and will keep doing it until somebody beats him.

Hopkins lost his very first pro fight, now look at that mother****er. Greatest fighter of the last 15 years.

[Dirk Diggler UK]

He's learned a lot since then and polished his game up. He's gonna win the tourney. Froch ain't beating him.

I never said he was...

people really have no idea how many ATGs have been hurt, dropped or even KOed early in their career.

there are a lot of factors when it comes to taking a punch well.
