Anthony Joshua has a better chin than Joseph Parker. Parker's chin is overrated!

    Dillian Whyte lands a flush, clean left hook with full power on Joshua's chin / face. And Joshua only gets stunned momentarily for a few seconds.

    Whilst Joseph Parker gets hit by a clean, flush left hook with full power from Dillian Whyte and gets dropped on his ass.

    But the narrative we are to believe, is that Parker has a granite chin whilst Joshua has a suspect / weak / glass / fragile / vulnerable chin?

    LMFAO! Some here acting like Joseph Parker has a granite chin, at the level of Mariusz Wach. Shame on all of you for thinking that! It's a disgrace and a shame to compare Joseph Parker's chin to truly granite chinned boxers like Wach, by thinking Parker's chin is anywhere close to that level.

    Parker's 'DURABLE' chin is probably the most overrated attribute of any boxer in recent times.

    Folks acting like because he's from Samoa, that he's going to automatically be super tough. Lol

    Personally I thought the shot landed on Parker was alot bigger and he got straight back up and looked steady, most heavies wouldn't have got up from that.

    AJs chin isn't as bad as people make out though but i do think it's a weakness as he doesn't seem to take shots well at all.

    Joshua got up from a flush Klit right hand.

    Also showed good puch resistance in round 5 as well.

    You can make that argument but you should probably use the big Klitschko RH as your example instead.

    The shot that landed on Parker was bigger than the Whyte left hook on Joshua to my eye, plus to be honest Joshua looked just as shaky than Parker after it, Parker pretty much bounced back up and carried whereas Joshua was trying to steady the ship for a bit.

    Do not forget about the fact Povetkin was made Joshua doing the chicken dance at the end of the first round.

    I doubt Joshuas chin is much better than Parkers. I even think Parkers chin is better than Joshuas. One knockdown isn't changing my opinion about that.

    What are you talking about??? The left hook that Whyte landed on Parker would have put down any heavyweight not named Mariusz Wach... it was a much bigger shot than the one he landed on Joshua and more accurate.
    First of all Whyte was hurt when he threw that left hook vs Joshua, he was clearly wobbled and didn't throw it will full conviction.
    The hook he threw vs Parker, he was on the front foot, and put everything he had into that shot with good technique.

    He did get up but i still think his chin is a weakness. If he hadn't been called Anthony Joshua he would have been stopped by the ref in that fight.

    But as i said his chin isnt as bad as people make out.

    Nobody's went the full 12 rounds with the bodybuilder Joshua, other than JP. Being put down from that big shot from Whyte, was a sign of decreased punched resistance from Parker, with taking those enormous weight lifter punches. I seriously hope Joseph does not fight the devastating bronze bomber. Because it might be the end of his career. Please Deontay make this fight after Fury as soon as possible.Lol.

    the true definition of chicken dance was Wilder in round 7 against old man Ortiz. Some serious body popping

    Lets be very clear, for AJ to get up from that Wlad right hander and then survive the round as he did proves he has a decent set of whiskers. As good as Parker at least. Parker clearly doesnt have a David Tua Somoan level chin, but its still very good.
