    You make a good point. But whilst I'm not suggesting that Mayweather's chin is better than Hagler's, is there any evidence to suggest that it is worse?

    Pacquiao was facially bruised, Floyd wasnt. Stop trying to rewrite history. We aren't blind!

    Exhibit A would be Shane Mosley turning Floyd's legs to jelly. Which supports the theory that whilst Mayweather is a truly masterful defensive boxer (the best ive ever witnessed live for sure) he does not possess an iron beard. Exhibit B would be a comparison of their resumes. It is abundantly clear that Hagler faced a murderers row of great punchers and Floyd has not. Leonard, Hearns, Duran, Roldan, Mugabi, Sibson (in no particular order) were all ferocious punchers. Then you gave guys like Obelmjias who was also a noted ko artist. Out of all of his fights, Hagler had to take one count, against Roldan (which Hagler disputed) if Floyd had fought Leonard, Duran, Hearns he would almost certainly have been dropped, never mind the other, much larger men. Now I do take on board that those guys were more effective punchers at the lower weights. But then this is a direct comparison (which is one of the reasons why the statement is so absurd) . My point is that in a direct comparison between Floyd and Marvins "chin" Hagler's was clearly in a different league. And to suggest otherwise is folly.

    Thankfully his words will not have any bearing on history Chris, they're just the rabid ravings of an embittered individual.

    The crew that called it thought PBF won 90% of boxers trainers and boxing writers felt PBF won. WTF are you talking about? There's a reason why people here disagree with you. Think about it instead of being such a hater. You even posted after the fight PBF won only to change your tune a week later.

    Only read your opening post... but I see it now. I disagree about those guys beating him but Thurman would be a nice opponent.

    those guys would beat him at this stage in his career. i give brook, khan, and thurman in that order the best chances of beating "TBE"
