Bazooka Limon's Boxing's Best Chin

Rafael “Bazooka' Limon is the best bad fighter in boxing. The 28 year old WBC junior lightweight champion with the angelic smile and the satanic tactics defies boxing logic (if there is such a thing). He can't punch, because he insists on delivering long, looping, clubbing arm punches that have little leverage behind them. He can't box, because he moves about as if bubblegum were stuck to his shoes, and his punches are so slow and telegraphed that fans in the third row can scream a warning to his opponent in ample time. He can't slip a combination, because he seemingly doesn't care to-or doesn't know how. Bazooka Limon (47-11-2 with 35 kayos) doesn't impress anyone with his boxing skills, and he doesn't try. But he is tough. Even tougher than Mexican tough. Limon is so tough, in fact, that he often leaves onlookers in awe. Consider the following observations: Doug Krikorian, a columnist for the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, on Limon's winning effort again
