    What about it?

    Golovkin's chin is checked. He has good punch resistance. He's real. Surely we all know that by now?

    Equally, you're surely not saying that the above qualifies him as one of the five best chins in history??

    Better punches have detonated upon more proven chins proving a higher level of punch resistance. That's happened.

    But he took bombs from Lemieux, Jacobs, Canelo, Stevens... some of the biggest punchers P4P and he never was even slightly close to being hurt. Every boxer no matter what chin is badly hurt at some point, Golovkin has never been.

    What I am saying is he has never been hurt let alone down in nearly 400 fights that's unheard.
    We all know even bums can hurt you and put you down if they connect properly yet you can not really find a instance where Gennady was hurt which is exceptional.

    He has all the markings of being in one of the five best chins in history

    Maybe ive seen more fights than these stupid fanboys. GGG doesn't get hit a lot and now he's supposed to have an incredible chin for going the distance against a pillow puff puncher ? Come back to the real world and quit being a fan girl.

    Lemieux landed nothing on him. Go look at what Lemieux landed on Marco Reyes.. Who has the better chin?

    He never had to put his chin in harms way to go for the KO. He was winning the rounds with his jab. What boxer on earth would give up their jab, to go for broke and potentially get KOede themselves? GGG is not that stupid. That would be like FMJ forgetting his defence vs Canelo and going for a KO... WHY??

    Whenever GGG's chin has been tested he's passed with flying colours every time. Never hurt, never dropped. Not in his entire career dating back to his amateur days. And he MET some monster punchers in the ams as well.

    Does Canelo have an incredible chin too?

    Over 50 fights - never hurt , never dropped , never stopped.

    No, he doesn't.

    He might have one of the very best chins in history. But to know that, he has to get hit by one of the very best punchers. We know Ali has one of the very best chins because he got caught flush by Shavers. We know LaMotta has one of the best chins because he shipped multiple bombs from Sugar Ray, caught a flush bomb from Sattersfield. On an on it goes.

    Golovkin hasn't been hit by a puncher like that. His chin is confirmed as iron, but he has in no way proven that he has one of the four or five best chins ever. That hasn't happened.

    Or Ricardo Lopez or Terry Marsh. Confirming a chin is all about the punchers that hit them.

    Lemieux is one of the greatest punchers in the world? Canelo, one of the greatest punchers in the world? This just isn't true i'm afraid.

    Canelo does have a good chin, yes. He'd have survive 12 rds vs Hagler, SRL, Duran & Hearns at 160lbs.
