    "Put simply, there are two sorts of boxer: those with glass jaws, and those with granite chins. If you’ve got a glass jaw, you go down easily and can’t take a big punch. If you’ve got a granite chin, like I have, you’re immovable. It doesn’t matter how skilled you are, or how hard you train, if you aren’t tough enough, you won’t win. It’s the reason a lot of fighters who have success at the Olympics can’t replicate it when they go pro – they just aren’t tough enough.

    "The only person that’s ever knocked me out is my anaesthetist. George Groves certainly couldn’t, and I showed the world that he falls squarely into the glass jaw category."

    Taylor nearly Ko'ed him. His chin is overrated. He never fought a TRUE PUNCHER.

    GGG will have him leaving the ring on a stretcher.:deal

    Groves rocked him way worse than Taylor did.

    Only man who is anywhere near froch's weight class who can crack his granite chin.

    Sergey KRUSHER Kovalev.

    Carl has a very good jaw but it isn't Chuvalo/Floyd/Vitali level, not even close

    The man was on chicken legs after that round 1 knockdown by Groves

    :rofl

    Froch has a solid chin but age has to catch up with him at some stage.

    Leave the Chin Talk to the professionals kiddo.

    Carl Froch has used his Mandible as front-line defense vs world-class opponents for the best part of 10 years.

    Name a legitimate puncher he fought? Not a boxer/puncher.

    I know chins and V. Klit's chin is pure steel. He took flush bombs from a ATG top 10 heavyweight puncher and never left his feet.

    While Froch was damn near out when Taylor hit him. Taylor NEVER was a puncher even at MIDDLEWEIGHT!!

    Please study the chin guild before you question others.:hey

    The left hook straight right combo Groves hit Froch with was one of the sweetest combos I've been in many a year, it would have finished 99% of boxers

    The fact Froch got back up and went onto win the fight doesn't just outline his world class chin but also world class powers of recovery

    Ppl seem to forget about the left hook prior to that straight right

    Love Floyd but he's nvr been hit with anything like Froch was hit with that night, not just in the first round but for the next 6 rounds plus Groves is a huge puncher himself

    remember round 2 against Mosley and Floyd's collapsing legs? That was not a huge shot by any stretch of the imagination

    Frochs defense is non existent yet he's been on the floor twice against the world class opponents he's faught

    His chin is ATG rating

    I do feel however punch resistant fades overtime and Carl maybe starting to go
