Nothing to me. Charles Martin is his best win and he was the butt of every joke. Entertaining fight, nothing of note. I wouldn't have him top 10.

Well it's incredibly rare. McCall was great at seeing a punch coming and making a micro-movement away from the punch to cushion the blow. He didn't fight wide open. I would suggest Mercer was similar. Point is they had good boxing fundamentals, Kownacki doesn't have them.dookus wrote: ↑29 Jan 2019, 18:32This is true. Wach as well more recently. Watching Klitschko tee off repeatedly and tire himself out hitting him in the face was unreal.HeavyHitters wrote: ↑29 Jan 2019, 17:53I disagree. There have been a handful of heavyweights in the past that could take a monster punch and not go down:
Oliver McCall and Ray Mercer to name a few......

McCall moved his head and shaved the power off a punch. Mercer just seemed to simply absorb the full power of it. I don't recall him ever moving his head, he just put the esr muffs up and braced himself!Dixonian wrote: ↑30 Jan 2019, 14:15Well it's incredibly rare.

I stand corrected. He had his chin tucked in nicely and kept his hands up but yeah he didn't bring reflexes into play too much!Re: Adam Kownacki
