Ben Tackie Discussion

[Russell]

The ultimate hard nut African (Love that saying) of the last decade plus in my opinion.

Sports scars on his cheeks given to him by his mother as a child and everything.

Absolutely unbelievable chin and he's set punch stat records. Good combination of attributes to have.

He's brought some of the best in the sport to SD's and MD's.

If he had that little bit more he could of been exceptional.

Thoughts on Tackie?

[teeto]

He was a top contender for a time, deserved that shot at the linear title against Tszyu, and is one of the top guys on Hatton's record, could be argued that in termso f when Hatton fought his opponents in re;ation to their respective primes, he was the best after Tszyu.

What do you think of his chin?

[Vantage_West]

What do you think of his chin?i persoanlly felt he had a great chin...could get shook and buckled but was never gonna get stopped never he wasnt going to allow it.
i never felt he had an amazing workrate he just kept punching. he just throws a punch every 3 seconds ana maybe a 1-2 which pulps up his high workrate status.

he doesnt deserve this journeyman ranking he seems to have a lower level contedner but is still as tough as he has ever been

One of the slowest fighters i've ever seen.

Top contender? Aren't top contenders meant to beat someone of note? HE pretty much lost every round against Hatton, Tyszu and Mitchell. Are you sure gatekeeper isn't the term you were looking for?

[TommyV]

The ultimate gatekeeper. The journeyman tag is an undeserving one. Very tough fighter, your guarenteed 12 physical rounds of boxing if you step in the ring with him.
