    You are kidding...right?
    I have watched almost all of Sebastian Rothman's fights. This, due to the fact that he is South African and so am I. From the outset, I rated him a paper tiger.
    He has the most pathetic jab in the game and telegraphs his right every time.
    It was only a matter of time before a half decent fighter took him apart. He never had much of a chin anyway. Only his fitness stood him in good stead. I doubt very much, that he will fight meaningfully again.

    I congratulate Thompson for carrying on and winning a title at his age. Good for him!

      George Foreman vs Ron Lyle period.The other people that were named were good fights but guys like Trinidad had poor chins.Seeing him knocked down isn't a shock.But Foreman had one of the best chins in boxing history.To see the man down not once but twice in the same round and then right before he knocked out Lyle Foreman was being rocked big time..Just watch the fight and you will see why i picked these warriors.

          Foreman's chin is overrated. He was seriously rocked by Ken Lakusta, dropped by Jimmy Young, and that was not all exhaustion that made him drop in the 8th round against Ali. It was good but nothing on the level of Chuvalo, McCall, Tua, Tex Cobb, Baer etc.

            I second that. Corrales down twice, comes back 30 seconds later and ends the fight. This after 9 and a half rounds of non-stop flush-landing punch trading. Insane.

              gotta be castillo-corrales, corrales doesnt have the best chin so getting floored twice by a big puncher then getting up and being the first person to stop the iron chined castillo was amazing, lucky for the JLC fans tony weeks stopped the fight so your boy still hasnt been down

                    2nd that it was one of if not the very best fights and come backs I ever saw. 2 hard knockdowns not flash knockdowns and he still wins.

                    The other is probably Gatti vs Rodriguez, I also saw that one. Others out there might remember better comebacks from old times but those 2 are the best I've seen.
