British fans hold the chins of both Joe Calzaghe and Naseem Hamed in high regard. But who had the better chin of the two? Please vote and explain. :bbb
Calzaghe - and for me this isn't really close. Calzaghe has shown his chin to be one of the best in boxing.
Calzaghe and it is not even close. Hamed had a Glass Jaw the guy was all over the canvas in his career. Had he fought better opposisition than he did he would have got KOed.
Tough one. Neither were in serious trouble. Hamed's unorthodox style left him off balance a lot of the times, never looked in trouble. Calzaghe's carelessnes early in fights when feeling out his opponents leads to lots of mistakes, but when into the fight eats far harder shots than ones that drop him early(Uppercuts by Roy and Kessler compared to the rights by Hop and Mitchell). If pushed id say there was a better chance of stopping Calzaghe early,than there was of stopping Naz or Calzaghe in the entire fight, so i'll go for Naz.
Naz has been tagged and he laughs it off. Naz clearly. In the fight with Jones, Jones would of finished him if he took the initiative.
This is a tough question, both have very good chins but Calzaghe has shown to be more hurt, even though Naz has been knocked down more times its more due to his style and balance. I say Naz IMO.
Do you think there is a better chance of someone stopping Calzaghe rather than Hamed due to their style or their chin?
