    SRL was in a similar fight towards the end of his career...
    (When Leonard faced a young Lion named "Terrible" Terry Norris.)

    Could be SRL might be giving Floyd some heads up on what to expect.

    maywaether never gets hit anyway so how would we know. I don't think his chin was ever that great to begin with.

    Be honest you didn't ever think anything Mayweather was that great to begin with.

    I don't care how old you are or how tough you are: A good shot to the temple will mess up your equilibrium really bad and even affect your vision. (I couldn't see for a good 4 seconds or so when I took an elbow to the temple)

    Haven't taken a shot like that in a long time, so I wouldn't know from experience how age affects that. However, I don't see how your punch resistance will do anything but deteriorate as you get older. It's all about the ability to recuperate, and as you get older, recuperating is a slower process.

    This.

    If Ortiz gets hit with a temple shot, he will buckle as well.

    your an idiot. when you get hit sometimes you can get hurt. Mayweather never gets hit. So to make a claim about his chin is pretty stupid, and the fact is when Floyd does get hit with good clean shot he looks bothered by it. Mosley hit him with basically two clean pucnhes, and both of them hurt him. Cotto took bombs from Mosley and he isnt known to have a great chin.

    41 professional fights, and he's "never" been hit? Sure pal. You need to lay off the cocaine, it's a hell of a drug. Doesn't mean he's Jake Lamotta, but the guy certainly has a chin and wouldn't be where he is if that was a legitimate weakness.

    Every fighter gets hit. Every fighter gets hurt. That's boxing.

    Maybe you should learn how to detect sarcasm numbnuts. Mayweather doesnt get hit enough to make any definitive claims about his chin. And the fact is he seems to get hurt when he does get hit with clean shots. The same kind of shots that many other fighters seem to eat up no problem.
