    How bad is it? I think his performance last weekend has removed any doubt that he is up there with Fury and Chisora amongst Britain's best heavyweight prospects but having a bad chin is a massive stumbling block when you're a heavyweight.

    I know he's been stopped a few times as an amateur, has he been hurt as a pro yet? Is his chin really bad or is that bollocks?

    I think it's over talked about. I'm not sure that its that bad- only time he's been wobbled as a pro so far was against Ingleby and thats from a flush punch Price took when he had stopped boxing after his mouth piece dropped out.

    I don't think he has a chin of china but it's not completely iron either.

    If he has any chin at all he will destroy Fury and Chisora. Hes miles better than them - he actually punches properly

    Looks to be better conditioned also. Clearly in way better shape than Fury anyways, but if he doesn't have a good chin I'd back Fury to beat him in the pros. Fury can take a dig.

    He needs to protect that chin a bit more though. He seems to stand a bit to up right.

    But he does have a very sound technique, and as mentioned punches properly and seems to have at the very least decent power.
