What makes Mayweather frightening is that he also possesses a granite chin

    Okay, then if you wanna play the game this way, Mayweather was still knocked down. Not by Judah but by Hernandez.

    Sorry, there was no punch before that down. Not a delayed reaction, not anything.

    He put his left glove down because his left hand was in excruciating pain, it was awful.

    Floyd's fear is irrational. He'd beat Pacman like he stole something.

    floyd's defense, footwork and rolling w the punches are so great its very hard to hit him flush, that combined with the careful matchmaking throughout his career has helped him. on top of all that i believe he actually does have a decent chin.

    Wouldn't label him as having a granite chin but it's good enough to hold up to 99% of single shots

    A good chin has a lot to do with seeing the shots coming and Floyd can see everything.

    I find it funny that yo started that sentence with "Rational basis" and then say he is chinny.

    As others have said, Floyd's style makes him incredibly hard to hit therefore you can't say he has a granite chin because not many fighters have hit him flush.
    Based on the evidence, we can confirm that he doesn't have a glass chin or even a suspect chin. I would say he has a decent chin.
