...sandy saddler...

...and as clever as marciano was he couldn't have stayed on his toes, flicking out that lightning left jab without getting hit at least sometime, so he belongs here. that was a terrific left hook walcott got him with and he got right up ready for action. same with the right hand archie moore bombed him with.

Ali was knocked out by old retired Jimmy Ellis during sparring.

Marcos Villasana

Villasana is a good call, as iron-chinned as anyone over the last 20 years.

Senya . . .are you now trying to insinuate Ali didn't have a great chin?

Someone who takes those shots he took from Foreman, Frazier, Shavers, Lyle, Chuvalo, Norton and doesn't get knocked out has an amazing chin.

AP newswire 1977/09/22 printed in a lot of newspapers.

Plus Shavers' responce (he met Ali a week later) to such news the next day.

Ali was old and shot by the end of 1977. You simply don't know much about boxing if you think Ali didn't have a good chin.

Re-read my two previous posts in this thread and tell me where did I say anything about Ali's chin?

I Feel Fine · Post by **I Feel Fine** » 29 Jun 2007, 20:28

Ellis sure didn't make a dent in Ali during the actual, official fight. Ali had arguably the best chin of any Heavyweight champion.

I like decagon's reasoning about Tex Cobb.

Librado Andrade ate punches from Mikkel Kessler that would behead any normal human being.

Senya13 · Post by **Senya13** » 30 Jun 2007, 05:24

Sparring and getting knocked down so hard that he doesn't remember what happened, surely does mean something. Oliver McCall, for example, had gone through hundreds of rounds of sparrings and still never was knocked down. Ali is a couple of classes below McCall where chin is concerned.

Kessler isn't a respected puncher like Liston? They are at least on par in punching power for their weight class, I'd say Kessler punches harder for a 168-pounder than Liston for a heavyweight.

Ken Buchanan, Ismael Laguna and Carlos Ortiz had great chins.

Roberto Duran
Kid Gavilan
Mike McCallum
Marvin Hagler
Muhammad Ali
Salvador Sanchez
George Chuvalo
Jake LaMotta
Ray Mercer
Manuel Ortiz

Had exceptional chins

Senya13 · Post by **Senya13** » 01 Jul 2007, 15:09

Most people don't know enough about Kessler to rank him correctly. But ask someone who has seen several of Kessler's fights and several Liston's fights, who punches harder for his weight class, Kessler will be ahead.

Senya13 · Post by **Senya13** » 01 Jul 2007, 23:51

Kessler is Top 5 hardest-hitting 168lb of all time. Liston is not even in Top 10 of hardest-hitting heavyweights.

How many rounds did middleweight Fitz need to finally stop past his prime natural welterweight Nonpareil Jack Dempsey?

Senya13 · Post by **Senya13** » 02 Jul 2007, 00:18

With that ghost of Dempsey? Kessler beat several much better fighters than that version of Nonpareil.
