9 ANSWERS


  1. 1. Marvin Hagler (Hearns would have knocked anyone else OUT in the first round of that fight)

    2. Rocky Marciano (Seriously undersized even back then, but still endured)

    3. Wayne McCullough (Just watch his fight with a very "in his prime" Erik Morales. Unreal)

    4. Antonio Margarito (None of the best at 147 have been able to hurt him. That's a talented bunch)

    5. Jake LaMotta (Sugar Ray couldn't knock him down. That's good enough for me)


  2. Top 5 Pancho are Salvador Sanchez, Jake Lamotta, Antonio Margarito, Young Stribling and Aarron Pryor/ Manny Pacquiao

  3. Mine.

  4. No JC Chavez?

  5. Great list posted i agree with some:

    1. Marvin Hagler-never KO'd only down once in his career

    2.Rocky MArciano-49-0 dropped twice and came back and won

    3.Carmin Bassilio- unbelievable heart and chin

    4.Carlos Monzon-also middeweight only knocked down once

    5.Antonio MArgarito-takes a good as shot as ive ever seen from big punchers

  6. Here are my choices:

    1.  George Chuvalo.  In 93 fights he was never knocked down!  He fought guys like Ali, Patterson, Quarry, Foreman, and Frazier and remained on his feet his whole career.

    2.  Marvin Hagler.  Tasted the bombs of Mugabi, Hearns, among others and never hardly even flinched.  In his career of 68 fights was knocked down once by Juan Roldan which was really a slip.

    3.  Rocky Marciano.  Two Brockton guys back to back!  Marciano was knocked down just twice for brief counts and it's been said that he was never truly hurt in his undefeated career of 49 fights.

    4.  Jake LaMotta had a chin of granite.  Anybody that fights Sugar Ray Robinson 6 times without once hitting the canvas, has my respect.  Wasn't knocked down until very late in his career near the end.

    5.  Randall "Tex" Cobb.  This guy was a real punching bag that seemingly could take anything.  Survivied the bombs of Larry Holmes (a fight that disgusted Howard Cossell) and Earnie Shavers without even flinching.

    Honorable mention

    Carlos Monzon

    Harry Greb

    Antonio Margarito (still active)

    James Toney (still active)

    Bernard Hopkins (still active)

    JC Chavez

    Aaron Pryor

    Salvador Sanchez

  7. Chuvalo, Harry Greb, Young Stribling, Ali, Ray Robinson, James Toney, LaMotta

  8. 1 - Marvelous Marvin Hagler

    2 - Rocky Marciano

    3 - George Chuvalo

    4 - Antonio Margarito

    5 - Jake Lamotta

  9. When you consider the line up of heavyweight talent he faced in his career, you have to give Ali's chin the top spot, nobody in history faced any where near the likes of Liston, Foreman, Frazier, Patterson, Shavers, Norton or Holmes, the punishment from these dozen fights that Ali took would have ended most heavyweight careers.

    I think of both Mugambi and Hearns as two of there era's hardest punchers, and Marvin Hagler's performances against them earn him the number two spot on my list.  

    I think of the power of a prime Riddick Bowe, along with Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, and Michael Moorer, and feel Evander Holyfield deserves at lest the number three spot, his battles with bigger men were epic.

    Lamotta was as famous for the beatings he took at the hands of Ray Robinson as he was for his victory's, and I put Jake at number four.

    Aaron Pryor had a chin of granite as did Julio Cesar Chavez, and I give them tie for the fifth spot, as little guys go, few in history matched them.
