    After watching the Mosley fight who else thinks that floyd has a questionable chin. The guy dosnt get caught very often due to his amazing defence and was excellent in stopping mosley put the pressure on after he hurt him. After watching a few of his fights he seems to get hurt nearly everytime he gets caught (which isnt very often) ie. mosley, hatton, judah.
    Im not saying the guy has the worst chin ive seen and dose brilliant in protecting it but i reckon its pretty vulnerable

    So getting hit by a picture-perfect punch from the biggest puncher at 147 and then recovering within a matter of seconds to block further punches and then continue to box gives him a suspect chin?

    Its not glass but its far from being iron.

    Why not try and contribute something remotely interesting?

    Mayweather has a good chin. If he had an iron chin he wouldn't have flinched but he did. But still a good chin to take a flush right hand on the button.

    his chin is just fine and he is very smart at recovering = no worries in that area

    He showed he has solid chin, he was caught clean by an absolute bomb and took it well.

    I'm pretty sure almost every other fighter at 147 would have dropped from the 2nd shot mosley gave mayweather!
