Top Five chins in British Boxing - Page 2

Woodworm · 10-07-2012, 05:52 PM

Matt Hattons chin is fucking excellent. Guy took a beat down from Canelo who must have outweighed him by about a stone on fight night and managed to stay on his feet. Brook also handed him his arse and he was only dropped by a well placed shot that he didn't see coming and was up straight away.

Matt Hatton
Carl Froch
Ola Afolabi
Dereck Chisora
Ricky Burns

ye froch, matt hatton burns and afolabi for me, chisora might make an appearance, tbf to hatton when he was "dropped" against brook, iirc, he never actually got dropped, he tripped/slipped and brook hit his gloves didnt he? thats what i remember anyway thining it was never a true knockdown

Chisora? Other than toughing it out against the ancient Vitali, he got flattened by Haye and has looked hurt against Fury (no puncher).

Decent chins, not exceptional.

That's nonsense mate, Froch clearly has a good chin.

Martin murray and rendell munroe perhaps? Maybe not on the list but maybe worth a quick mention

bam bam · 10-07-2012, 07:41 PM

Sid Razak has the best chin.

Primadonna Kool · 10-07-2012, 08:04 PM

Well Paul Smith has got two of them.

Some deluded posts about Stella Chisora again I see...

Chisora did go twelve rounds with Helenius. He broke his right hand in the 2nd IIRC and Chisora was back-pedalling like Michael Jackson in the 1st.

Chisora got systematically taken out by Haye. Fury had him hurt too.

Extremely overrated chin.

There's got to be a few journeymen with fantastic chins.

Jonsey · 10-08-2012, 02:37 AM

Francis W*rren. Hes got 3 of them.

So, who in the UK would you rank higher?

norfolkinchance · 10-08-2012, 03:24 AM

wasnt burns stopped a couple of times earlier in his career?

ollyc · 10-08-2012, 03:49 AM

Burns has never been stopped. Johanneson did have him over three times though. Body shots if I recall.

As for Chisora, i'm not a fan, but I don't recall Fury putting a dent in him.

Beeston Brawler · 10-08-2012, 04:06 AM

Munroe is a good shout actually.

Took Kiko's best shots like they were nothing and then went the distance with Nishioka.

madg321 · 10-08-2012, 05:16 AM
