That’s a surprise. Did he just get caught more or he reckons Reid is a harder hitter then both?

He shipped a mad right in the eighth against Benn, would have knocked anyone normal out, he wasn't bothered. His mindset was different for Reid, can't go into on here and it's certainly not all in his book, but Reid rocked him. Was wierd for us lot. Tijuana1 was training in Leeds with Darren Rhodes who was sparring Reid to fight Henry who was our mate and idol. Small world, boxing.

But in a shorter answer to the question, Reid hurt him much more. Thought he was going to go.

I’m going to watch this on my lunch break

Surely Tommy Farr has to be up there, Baer and Louis would be on any great heavyweight punchers list and he took them both the distance

Ricky Burns deserves a mention, despite having his jaw broken he kept on going. Plus Terrence Crawford needed the full 12 rounds to take his title.

Dare I mention Dennis Andries.. His style offered it up. Was it as good as Eubank on the back foot?

Good call. Can’t believe I forgot him!

burns to me seemed more of a mentalty guy. he was ultra brave and dogged it but was he that hard to hurt? down/hurt many times. though tbf never really hurt bad enough to be out of it and that counts. carl wth body shots had him in the most serous bother.

also burns has an underlooked tght guard against the ropes. a lot of tmes seen hm hurt but then guys couldnt really get to hm in the follow up.

McCulloch has to be the best chin. Took bombs flush from the deadliest fighters around.

Yes still surprised he did so well against Hamed, who was in his pomp at the time. Great chin.
