    And some people thought he had the best chin in the division or even at the level of the real GOAT Mariusz Wach in the chin department? Lol

    Disagree, his chin was superb tonight, boxing skills? Not so much

    That's like saying Foreman had a bad chin because he was Ko'd by Ali while being extremely exhausted. Parkers Stamina let him down, not his chin.

    He never had the best chin. Average at best!

    That was Abraham v Gevor type of punch. Parker took it pretty well.

    Foreman's chin was also suspect. Got dropped by a feather fisted Jimmy Young. Parker's chin isn't bad, but it is overrated if anyone claims it's the best in the heavyweight division.

    Come on, his chin is excellent. He took Whyte's bombs and never looked all that hurt. His stamina is crap though, but that makes his chin even better, as he was able to take those shots being exhausted through pretty much the entire fight.

    Chin was fine, it was stamina, concentration and desire. And yet … Whyte is fairly mediocre himself so it was a really close fight.

    Joseph Parker doesn't have the best chin. That was my point! Saying so, makes him overrated!

    Those knockdowns barely shook his and his head cleared very quickly. Maybe because he doesn't have much brains to begin with there was little to shake up.

    The left hook in the ninth would have put pretty much every other heavy out

    . Did you not see how violently it shook the poor Kiwi's skull? Parker has a very good chin, one knockdown doesn't change that.

    I'm not sure there's a better chin in heavyweight right now. Tyson Fury's may be on par with Parker's. But that's it.

    Whyte took him off his feet, but he did recover quite well. He should have went toe to toe with Whyte. Now we're going to see a pointless mismatch next year.
