    That's not important, he hits hard enough and that what really matters. Canelo has the ability to land much more effectively on anyone than those "bigger bangers" it's not about how hard, it's about when and where.

    No mw is matching lemeuix in power, and they're not matching canelo in talent

    Actually I also think Canelo can take a great punch. He's just never really been hit with a humdinger yet.

    Yes I know, but his combos are painful.

    Well, any chin can be cracked if hit on the sweet spot. Duran had great chin but Tommy managed to crack it. After being crack, it didn't suddenly turn glass either as with so many others. His chin proven to be solid after, even in the face of huge middleweight in Barkley.

    GGG chin is great. But the reason for that is because his defense is also good.
    Also his style plays a big part. He is a pressure fighter and usually the one doing the hunting, he is patient, methodical and never reckless going into business. He put most of his opponent into defensive position while he unload his arsenal.
    Occasionally when he got hit flushed, his chin was tucked and he saw the punch coming. Rarely you'll see he got cracked with his chin in the air like Khan. So in all his chin is Solid.

    I would like to see GGG fight Jacobs an the main card, then Brooks on the undercard the same night. Shut these woulda', shoulda', couldas's up once and for all. I think he ko's both.

    He didn't like getting hit to the body that's for sure. Canelo has to become the body snatcher if he is to win it.

    IIRC Jose Cotto hurt a young Canelo worse than he's ever been hurt since. Canelo has a very good chin though.

    Genuinely not sure is serious or not, Is this the mentality of GGG fanboys? if so explains a lot. I am a GGG fan but i am not a fanboy, of course he can be hurt anybody can be hurt.

    Hard to say. Trying to figure out how certain fighters have great chins and others don't is as mysterious as trying to figure out why one fighter can turn your lights out with one shot where another couldn't break an egg.

    Watch round Two of the Brook fight, and watch the combo Brook put on GGG in the last 35 secs of the round, and watch how GGG is hurt and has to hold, then watch it again but just watch his legs prior to him holding, his legs were on shaky grounds for sure.

    Of course he can be hurt, of course he can bleed, he is a man not a machine.
