    I'm going to go off the topic just a little. When people talk about chins in general sometimes they fail to discern the difference between chin issues and balance issues. A fighter with great balance is much harder to knock down than a fighter with balance problems. The guy in my avatar is a good case in point. Danny used to get knocked down all the freaking time! Hurting him was an entirely different matter.

    If getting knocked down meant a guy had chin problems, you would have to say that Marciano, Holmes, Arguello, Duran, Lopez, Lenoard, and many, many other great champions all had chin issues, and that just isn't true. The real question is; what did the fighter do after the knock down?
