    I agree.

    Never understood the hype or attention he receives, mediocre at best.

    Well I cant see the vid at work, and rocked doesn't mean knocked out so I cant see how that equals a glass chin.

    We would need to see how he reacts to being hit minus headguard and with proper gloves, but yes what you are alluding to in his am career does point to him having potential issues when he turns pro

    Amateur boxing is very frenetic and a lot of the times you see fighters get counts, it's not a chin issue but rather something to do with their balance, vision or whatever else. That's not to say you can completely ignore knockdowns but it's not the clearest indication of a poor chin either.

    I think it was the second standing-8 he took against the Ukrainian where he actually blocked the punch; awful refereeing.

    I can assure you due to his strengths and weaknesses, Anthony Ogogo will be the most exciting professional.

    He's no great shakes, but he's not exactly a poor fighter. And he is willing to fight, and does seem to be able to let his hands go........although technically for some reason he struggles to throw straight punches.

    Joshua will just be another ******ed superheavyweight ****witt.

    I do not rate Ogogo.

    That chin is not made for professional boxing in my humble opinion.

    No way, hes gonna beaten about like a rag doll, he literally has 0 pop in his punches, theres just no authority there to keep a half decent fighter off, the fact he doesnt take a shot to well isnt helpful either, I predict he will be pants, and am willing to bet on it, if we are still about by the time he turns pro

    With 6 months funded training, i think i could push Anthony Ogogo over 3 rounds.

    Tua was 17 - 18 going up against Savon, bit of a sloppy punch, more like a headclash.

    Standing counts can also be given when the boxer is hit with a flush shot, so once the ref see the boxer be hit with a clean shot they will then stop to give the 8 count, therefore sometimes it is not due to the ability to take a shot more the boxer is given a precaution because he's taken a good shot.

    Correct me if i'm wrong having a good chin isn't about not being hit with good shots but about being able to withstand goodshots and when an 8 count gets given becuase you've taken a goodshot not because of you've reacted to it then you can't tell how the chin is

    He's not khan 2.0

    He does look a bit vulnerable just like khan has done recently, but khan at least has world class hand speed that allows him many times to dictate fights. Also khan got a lot of heart and proved it in the pro game - and maybe people harp on about his chin too much. Ogogo just starting out and will show more improvements in future, but just based on raw ability khan had much more going for him
