    I didnt say he had a crap chin but his recoop abillity wasn't that great and with Robinson you have to be able to take a great shot even if it hurts and recoop well

        Hearn's chin isnt 'good' its average.


        - Leonards single overhand absolutely won him the fight.( Fight I )

        - Barkley had easily kayoed Hears while a 160lbs Duran ate power bombs from Barkley himself before actually winning



        if Hearns had a 'good' chin. He would have easily beat Barkley.

            Hearns wasn't chinny he had an alright chin for a 147 pounder. If he would had a granite chin he would have been indestructible. He was beast.

              I guess if you want to apply things across all realms then your right because your living proof the brain in some never improved much since Neanderthal times .

                Angelo Dundee said "Give Tommy Ray's balance and he beats them all". I agree; although Tommy's chin should be improved, he only got knocked out by either the very best fighters (Ray, Marvin) or the very best shots (Barkley). With balance I'd say his physical advantages overcome SRR to a narrow decision.

                  Not saying he would, but you can have a granite chin and lose on points.
