Career Knockdowns of Antonio Tarver (vid)

Calzaghe had a good chin too..:yep:deal

And better skills than Tarver... Calzaghe was a much greater fighter than Tarver.

 

Do a similar video for Kessler's KDs.

 

I don't think being knocked down has much to do with a chin... Two of those times Tarver was clearly caught off balance, not hurt at all.

I think Tarver had a B+ to A- chin.

 

I'd probably go A-. He could take a shot.

 

Yep. Part of having a chin is mental, which is why it's not surprising you have some of the toughest mental fighters of all time with the best chins. Chuvalo, Hagler, etc..

 

That's a good point. Well said.

 

I don't know know about Tarver taking a very good body shot. I mean in Jones/tarver III he cringed after Jones landed a body shot and if Jones attacked him after that he would have went down. But Jones was too gunshy by then.
