"Put simply, there are two sorts of boxer: those with glass jaws, and those with granite chins. If youve got a glass jaw, you go down easily and cant take a big punch. If youve got a granite chin, like I have, youre immovable. It doesnt matter how skilled you are, or how hard you train, if you arent tough enough, you wont win. Its the reason a lot of fighters who have success at the Olympics cant replicate it when they go pro they just arent tough enough. "The only person thats ever knocked me out is my anaesthetist. George Groves certainly couldnt, 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
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
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
