    Froch knows how vital having a Chin is to Boxing. It matters. Glass Jaws exist in Boxing and if you have one you are not going very far.

    Aside from those 2.

    Froch has fought quite a few very hard hitters, Taylor dropped Kelly no one drops Kelly and Groves is a big puncher as well, that shot Carl walked into would have KO'd anyone else.

    Froch aiming another smoke screened jibe towards Groves it seems.

    Groves does not have a glass jaw by any stretch. He was hit with the hail mary of all right hands... yet still made an attempt to get up (how, I do not know).

    Exactly. This is one boxer who clearly GETS the importance of a sturdy mandible in this game. Those who don't have a solid chin get KOd. Those who do, don't. Period, end of paragraph.:deal

    So did Roberto Duran not have a solid chin?

    There are exceptions to every rule. Generally speaking, however, when a fighter gets starched like that, you're not exactly talking George Chuvalo.:-(

    Froch is correct but he isn't immovable
