    Someone get your panties in a bunch?

    Pavlik has a pretty average chin. It's not bad, but he's been put down a number of times and not always by huge punchers. Zertuche and McKart dropped him clean.

    Same with Mayorga, especially recently. Maybe he hasn't been down much, but he's been hurt a lot lately, and it's not like DLH was a big puncher at 154.

    It's not all about power. Floyd caught him with supremely accurate punches that he didn't see coming.

    He take absolute hell from Kosta Tzsyu who's a far bigger puncher than Floyd. Just goes to show power isn't always the key. If Hatton can see punches coming, he can take them. He has a good chin.
     
  9. Froch has a great chin...

    Is Oli Mccall still fighting? If so - end thread...

    How about Penalosa? Although he does have a great defence and rarely gets caught clean.

    That could all change friday!

    I am pretty sure I know who has and does not have a Chin.

    Hatton's is far from great or even good. It is about average.

    The Tzsyu fight was a sloppy mess do to that crooked Brit referee that let Hatton do his John Ruiz impersonation that fight did not prove a damn thing about his Chin.


    he was hurt bad by Colazzo, KOed by feather fisted and fragile handed Mayweather, hurt bad against Lazcano that is far from having a great Chin.

    Me might arguably have a good chin, but the thread is asking for the best chins. Hatton is not up there in the "best chins" category of todays fighters.

    How does Mayorga not have a granite chin? Yeah he gets KO'd, after taking a thousand flush shots. It's granite. Or it was granite, it probably softened gradually after so many shots.
