    Valuev did the chicken dance on the first flush punch he took from David Haye.

    Sorry, but his chin has "fragile" written all over it.:deal

    he did the same dance agains't Bergeron who was not known for his punching power! in fact Bergeron would have put Valuev down if he had killer instinct!

    Andrade has a great chin - look at his fights with Kessler and Bute and it's clear. He only went down on one punch he didn't see from Bute, but got up quickly.

    Andrade, however, has a glass body, which is why he got stopped once by Bute. I hope Zakman includes him in the Glass Bodies movie...

    No, no, noooooooo. Hopkins simply doesn't get hit. His defense is great and so he protects his chin. When he gets hit, he gets hurt. He was floored 4 times (in the 2 draws he had) and was seriously hurt by Taylor in round 2 of theur first fight.

    Hopkins probably has a decent chin, but not great. We'll never really know for sure because he never gets hit.

    Malignaggi and Marquez yes, but Mayweather noooooo.

    Mayweather never gets hit on the chin. The two times he got caught, he was hurt (floored by Judah and almost KOed by Mosley).

    If anything, Floyd may be hiding a glass jaw.:think

    Abraham
    Andrade
    Margarito
    Vitali
    Toney


    McCall and Tua are listed as active but they really are not, Duddy would be worth a mention as he has taken some savage abuse but never faced a guy with real power.

    Valuev has a good but not great chin. Haye is a big puncher to be fair, and that was a big right hand right on the chin that would've put down most.

    Valuev has been wobbled by Bergeron and buzzed by Larry Donald.

    In round 2 (4:06 of the video), Taylor lands a good one-two and Hopkins doesn't know where he is for a second, then holds on for dear life.

    He didn't seem hurt at all by Pascal's punches. He got up at 1 and showed no effect of punches.
