    Certainly not the worse chin I've seen but it is far from the sturdiest in his weight division. He was rocked badly by average hitting Howard Eastman but kept getting up after suffering multiple knockdowns against Pavlik and Abraham. I think he's been down seven times the best I can tell. At least those have been televised.

    Well he's been KO'd by huge punchers and he has a come forward style. Bound to happen.

    Tex Cobb had an ungodly chin. You could have quite likey wacked him across the face with a baseball bat and it wouldnt faze him.

    LOLLL!!! This was tongue in cheek you know. I could have said that his chin is somewhere between Tex Cobb's and Amir Khan but so are 99% of all other fighters in the history of the sport.:D

    I'd have to think his was also.....

    But as I've tried to get ****** Spasmfora to answer, how can you say "glass" when Kelly and Arthur both took multiple KD's over several rounds and it being stopped by the ref"? Anyone getting hammered like that is going down eventually. :deal He would have been better off to stay down sooner, but that ain't who he is.....

    Boxing is NOT a single elimination tournament.

    Fair enough. I see so much silly crap in the general that I don't assume anything anymore...

    Seriously, on a scale of , say, 1-10, Edison has to be around a 8.5 or so. It's only been the 2 best MW's in the world ( a weight which has shown to be HARD for Edison to make), and a flash KD against Allan Green (in which Edison got up to hammer the **** out of Green and had he had just 10 more seconds he would have KO'd Green, IMO).

    His chin is defo above average, I'd say, but obviously not unbreakable. 8.5 mudder truckers.

    I'd say a 7. He was KO'd by Abraham ABOVE 160 lbs so I won't give him that "MW weight drain" excuse. That said he took ungodly punishment from Pavlik and withstood it for as long as he could so the guy can obviously take a punch.

    A bit off topic here but can anyone name me any boxers who did not fit in the category of chins between Tex Cobb and Amir Khan?
