    Chavez Jr.
    Froch
    Golovkin is still untested but its probably solid

    Chavez could be hit by a hammer and he'd laugh it off.

    i think jr wins this, he inherited his pops titanium whiskers. froch is more tested than ggg, but geale connected a solid punch right on the button and got ko'ed at the same time. it takes some serious ability to absorb that punch and not lose power in your own punch.

    I'd say Froch.

    Chavez Jr has mainly been competing with much smaller men we need to see that chin tested against men his own size.

    Golovkin's chin looks unshakable at the moment but he's got to step up against the best punchers like Froch has, to know for sure. But I have a feeling the boyish face hides a titanium chin.

    I could take a solid shot from Geale and not go down, I thought Geale would do better based on his skill not his punching power.

    Anyone who says Froch needs to take offtheir ugly union jack underpants. He got knocked down badly by Groves for God's sake and had bad jelly legs.

    I'm 200lbs and heavy handed so yeah probably:yep at MW I'm not sure. They threw a punch about the same time and GGG's landed a second later and did more damage.

    Yeah his legs were so jelly like when he took the 2 or 3 follow up right hands that he barely flinched. Groves hit him with the hardest shot he could possibly throw yet still couldn't finish him.

    Froch is incredibly durable and can take an immense amount of damage that shot would have knocked anyone out cold and Froch ate about 150 more without going down again, Froch haters really sicken me.

    Biggest Punchers faced in order;

    Carl Froch: Kessler, Bute, Abraham, Johnson, Taylor, Dirrell, Groves, Pascal, MaGee, Reid, Ward, Mack

    JCC Jr: Lee, Martinez, Rubio, Vera... That's it.

    Gennady Golovkin: Stevens, Macklin, Rubio, Proksa, Rosado, Ouma, Geale, Ishida, Adama



    Froch has walked face first in to Kessler L hooks, Bute's sharp L hand (No uppercut IIRC), Taylor OVH rights, Dirrell + Groves sharp counters and traded with Pascal, Johnson and Abe.

    Junior was shelling up against big, but not huge punchers in Sergio and Lee, how can you come to the conclusion that Jr has the better chin?

    The versions of Taylor, Dirrell, Kessler and Bute that Froch beat would all TKO Chavez.

    Golovkin took a nasty right hand against Stevens and didn't even flinch, he never positioned himself for the L hook counter but I believe it's safe to say he's carrying a solid cheen.
