    It doesn't matter how good your chin is--guys like Pavlik and McClellan could take out any 160 lber who ever lived if they land. (fine, except Hagler)

    McClellan is the pick, but Pavlik has become very underrated and McClellan has been overrated for a while. I think they are similar in many areas and in how good they were.

    As a side note, I always like to throw in that my coolest boxing memorabilia item (of not many) is a McCellan autograph.

    I don't recall this, and it's not necessarily indicative of a neurological issue to begin with - but if it's the case, then this could just as easily be a result of all the gym wars McClellan was in. McClellan was known to go hard in the gym. A lot of fighters compounded their neurological issues through gym wars, I think that's half the reason Toney slurs so much now.
