    Does your way of thinking apply to Hagler as well, or just GGG?

    His chin is magnificent. He eats everything, he really does. He ate Lemmy's shots with ease. He ate Danny's shots with that same ease. Those are two huge punchers at 160.

    He basically laughed at "smaller" punchers like Brook and Canelo (who probably both outweighed him in the ring).

    I'm quite convinced nobody at 168 would hurt him.

    lol WTF? don't tell me what was doing I was absolutely not being serious. Just because GGG hasn't been down or seriously hurt doesn't mean he has a better chin than those guys. You think I actually believe that lol

    Ali got dropped by Henry Cooper for f sake... Way overrated chin. Golovkin's the real deal.

    Hagler is nowhere near top 5 all time chins and the majority will be @ heavyweight any way.

    Neither of them have better chins than Provodnikov

    Do you think GGG and Hagler have better chins than Toney and Eubank Sr?

    way overrated comeback you mean.

    Ali absorbed it all, and you clowns still bring up cooper who stood ZERO chance of beating green kid ali.

    Nelo isn't really a big puncher. He's a sharp and crisp puncher. The reason he has a good KO percentage is based on fighting naturally smaller men. At 160 his shots aren't doing the damage they were at 154. The punches look great and sound great but that based on speed and technique. It's flashy but not devastating

    I think GGG has a better beard than Hagler for sure. Like if both of them were in their primes and went up to 168lbs to face Nigel Benn, I do see GGG taking Benn's punches without any issue, I think Hagler will get rocked and hurt badly from some of Benn's hayemakers though. A few LMW's hurt Hagler. I've never seen GGG hurt.
    I never said GGG has one of the best chins in history, outright. He does at MW though, without question.

    The GGG vs Eubank in regards to chin, well Prov dosen't have a better chin than neither Eubank or GGG. Neither were hurt by light hitting matadors like Bradley or Chris. Eubank has fought some monster punches before so at SMW I'll stick with the obvious. Eubank for me had the best chin there. Toney's chin was pretty good, I just think he's like Canelo though in able to roll with the punches so he never got hit flush like GGG and Eubank did.
    Joe, Collins and Hopkins had some nice beards as well.

    lets just start with the three men youve listed, dillion burley and booker, they all punched harder than golovkin. tell me which heavyweight golovkin knocked out? or even a light heavyweight? and these men weighed even less than golovkin with the exception of dillon who could make the middleweight limit today

    and youre definitely one of those fans who spout their unfounded beliefs after doing no research. youre making judgments after not having even glimpsed at the available information.
