Baxter was also a "TEXT BOOK" Turtler and was also equally adapt as runner as well.

His only chance is to hit someone when they are not looking.

Atleast he didn't fight him when he was a "ROOKIE" though

Just think if lil ole Baxter could drop Wilson with that left ready or not - looks like an achilles heal to me - Bingo! Simon would have owned him, Baxter threw like a hook, same as Fotiu which did not sit well with BW

BW is lionized for his chin. If it were a Clark Gillies or O'Reilly doing it I could see BW dropping but Baxter. it shows you that you really can't put muscles on your chin. Bottom line I thought Wilson was impervious to anything like that.

Well I guess you have Paul Baxter as your number #3 All-Time now behind Chris Simon as #2?

Great choice. Don't you just love the way Baxter was running for his life?
He was absolutely COURAGEOUS!

Chris Simon owning Behn Wilson?

First, he would have to stay on his feet long enough to throw a left, which I doubt.

Second, Wilson would have to be more careful of Simon's skates than his left anyway.

Third, it probably would never happen because Simon's coach wouldn't want him to fight or he had an inury, which ever works best.

Lastly, Fotiu hit Wilson with a RIGHT at the end of the fight, not a left. Check your archives again, it shouldn't be to hard to find, you have less than a half a dozen videos to choice from.

Wilson did in fact have a GREAT chin, as a "ROOKIE", he took Nick Fotiu's best shot, did not go down, and was still looking to fight on.

So are you trying to say Paul Baxter had a better punch than Nick Fotiu?

no doubt Baxter is up in the top three and his stock grows more and more. I mean just the courage it must have took to be in the same building as BW is breath-taking...What a mensch! You apparent dislike for Simon for whatever reason is clouding your missing objectivity - BW would be custom made for a Simon as he rains in downwardly on the right side of Behn's chin/face,which seems to be a bit more susceptible than anywheres else

I am very aware that Fotiu hit BW with a right at the end of the fight - but the left-hooks or any lefts shows BW wide open

Let's see....

Behn Wilson is primarily a righty and thus would be open to a left handed puncher so in that regard Wilson would just auto lose to any lefty, ever?

Is that what I'm reading here?

The right handed punches on the beak of a drugged out Chris Simon wouldn't count? Wouldn't do any damage? One of those lethal, right handed upper cuts wouldn't do anything?

The only uppercut I've seen that's better than Wilson's is this one-

RTA bus driver uppercuts woman mortal kombat...

yeah looks like it! Whats the matter? If I have said it once I have said it 100x - Wilson's punching prowess is perhaps average for a man his size - so, it is a canard to say that he is going to hit harder than: Probie, Domi, Brown, Boogard, Godard, Orr, Fedoruk etc... it is a stretch

Go onto Youtube and look up a fight between Big Behn and John Hilworth. Ask John Hilworth if Big Behn has an "average" punch.
