    Who knows? Floyd can be hurt......so he can be knocked down or out but it hasn't happened yet. That's impressive. Zab did score a legit KD against him but it wasn't recorded as such.....so, Floyd's never hit the canvas in a professional fight.

    But For you to say in another thread that Floyd hurt Maidana...

    and then say in this thread that Floyd was "NEVER HURT AT ALL" by Maidana is pushing it .

    Its complete fabrication .

    So you label Floyds chin "Iron chinned" just because he survived a Flush hook .

    Very well , So do you label Amir Khan as "Iron Chinned" as well ??

    He absorbed every single blow Chino hit him with .

    He got hit with way more than just 1 hook .

    He was Getting pummeled against the ropes with Chino best punches .

    Going by your logic , Floyd has an iron chin just because he survived a hook .

    If that's the case , Surely Khan has to have one of the very best chins in boxing . NO QUESTION


    Because he was pretty much Chinos punching bag for the last 3 rnds in their fight and he survived that ENTIRE onslaught . :deal

    Bruh, you just went wayyyyy out in left field with that one. Stop over-analyzing and just take it for what it is. He got hit with a good shot (it is boxing, by the way) and took it well. When was the last time you saw Floyd dropped from a good shot? Exactly. Though I'll give Zab some credit for a missed KD on the ref's part. It's not that complicated, man...

    I label him iron chinned because in 47 fights he's never been knocked down or out has only really been hurt in one fight, the Mosley fight. He has faced big punchers and and stood up to their power. What else can you call that? If you have the body of work that he has and withstood good shots from good fighters your chin is iron.

    That punch wouldn't have landed 10 seconds earlier. The bell rang ending the round, causing Mayweather to drop his guard, and within that exact same moment the punch landed.

    It was the perfect storm when it landed and it was too bad for Maidana it didn't do more damage. Mayweather should have followed his advice to Ortiz, "defend yourself at ALL times."

    Besides, he kept using the pull counter for the remainder of the fight, anyway. Chino was looking for the counter right to it but couldn't connect again. Floyd knows what he's doing.

    He very rarely gets hit flush , So how can we really label his chin Iron or not ?

    Of course he has faced many Big punchers . (Castillo, Delahoya, Shane ETC)

    But Its his shoulder roll defense and ring generalship that neutralizes their punching power .

    Not his chin .

    Lets not act as if he turns into Julio Cesar Chavez Sr , eats shots all night , and shakes them off .

    Because that's not the case .

    My point is , If you say Floyd has an Iron chin , than Khan has to have an iron chin as well . That's all...

    You right , I don't remember ever seeing Floyd get dropped from a good shot .

    But that's thanks to his superior defensive skills , Not his chin .

    Lets not get confused between the difference of a solid chin and a solid defense .

    He was "off balanced" after being countered. Yea, ok. This is revisionist history right here. Now Mayweather has an iron chin, lol.

    We will never know, he was certainly buzzed and his legs stiffened. Then again I don't think that "Chino" is particularly powerful, I mean he landed a good one on Khan and he didn't do the chicken dance.

    He was off balanced fool! The pull counter he puts all his weight on his front front foot he missed and got caught to deny that he was off balanced shows how much of an irrational hater you are and can't be taken serious in debate.

    How many times has PBF been dropped? How many times has he been stopped? How many times has he been hurt in 47 fights? :deal You can count how many times he's been hurt on one hand, the true definition of iron chinned.:deal

    he was wobbled by the punch. Not ready to go or anything like that, but he had shaky legs for a few seconds there
