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

    Please mufvcka of course having a chin has a lot to do with seein the shot coming. This aint fightnight videogames. You cant apply your generic rules to all fighters. theres circumstances involved.

    Chin has nothing to do with it it's his defense..
    Rigo and wlad are other great examples

    Never said it did

    I'm saying the man has both. That's why he's so frightening to fight. It already takes so much effort to break through his defense, and even if you do, that granite chin is there waiting for the shot.

    No truth is strong in him and stupidity is great in *****s like you.

    Floyd's chin has been tested against:
    - Corley
    - Judah
    - Mosley

    That is NOT a strong chin.
    That is good balance, strong hands for clinching and an iron will to go above and conquer the situation.
    Not to mention insane ring IQ as he tried to pummel Mosley's chest with hard short blows while clinching so as to wind him out and not be able to follow through.

    Sorry to derail your trollercoaster ride but you forgot to mention Castillo 1, and Augustus. Those fights were far mar important in terms of Floyd taking damaging blows. He took a lot. His chin actually held up like granite.

    Castillo was the hardest puncher that dished out the most punishment on Floyd. Based on that at the very worst he has a "good" chin

    I wouldn't go as far as to say he has a granite chin because he doesn't get tested enough and has been hurt by lesser punches like Corley....I also wouldnt say he's a frightening anyone because everyone and there momma wants to fight of him money or not they aren't scared of him...



    Example of a frightening boxer sergey kovalev :deal

    Canelo hit him with a straight right while his back was on the ropes and he didn't even blink. His chin may not be granite but it's not cheddar.

    Yeah I saw that punch. Easy to remember cause Nelo didnt land much. He took that punch right on the jaw and smiled.

    Honestly as shitty a poster as MVC is I think he is actually correct.

    Mayweather has a granite chin. We have seen it tested and he has never been fazed with the exception of Mosley. Even those shots were brutal and could have put down many a fighter.

    This guy just has no leaks in his defense.

    He may be on his back after going 45-0 being close to 37 years old and you think your prediction so great, come on dude. Stop hating on mayweather and enjoy the ****ing show.
