    Same scenario. Both guys were hooking, but Lemiuex got to the target first. GGG blocked it with his glove and the power of the punch forced him back. It clearly hurt despite landing on the glove. If GGG wasn't being defensively responsible, he would have suffer the same fate as Stevens.

    Golovkins chin is pure iron david landed the same shot GGG hardly flinched that gif was not the best example David landed 3 or 4 clean flush shots on GGGs chin

    Gotta like the ref's nod of respect for the double hook in that clip.

    Yes if GGG dropped his hands and let Lemieux hit him at will, he would lose. Who'd have thought?

    To say it lightly, you are exagerrating when saying that he "almost knocked him out", it's just that it threw him off-balance but he recovered immediately. You are right in saying that it's not GGG chin what saved him but the defensive responsibility (the right hand remained there to block that punch).

    While Golovkin indeed has good punch resistance, and he took some shots from Lemieux, I don't remember anything landing flash on his chin. His stance makes it difficult to land anything but uppercots on the chin, so usually Golovkin sees and anticipates all the punches that he takes.

    Best Chin in Boxing at the Moment Golovkin.....but I would advise him not to give Jacobs a free Hit...

    He hit his glove. That's a far cry from almost KOing someone.

    Here's a underrated chin, Hassan N'Dam, most wouldn't have got up from one of these, he got up from 4. The one at 35 seconds is brutal with a capital b, I have no idea how he got back up from that.

    as someone that has been critical of GGG, there is no doubt his chin is proven adamantium

    GGG's ring IQ makes the difference.

    Good thing GGG took him out before last night's fight.

    Otherwise he'd be considered the bogey man who Golovkin was ducking.
