    Yeah thanks for educating me on all of that. I do spend my life just watching highlight reels!!!

    I made a snap post in which I said possibly. Get over it.

    Yeah thats fair enough. IT was totally out of the blue as well. Love the commentry 'oh no, this is what we feared could happen'

    My mate who lived and trained with Herrol for a long time said he is still haunted by that.

    What about Golota? or was it more 'eggy heart'? Actually thinking about he was in was some big punchers

    Kevin McIntyre on the domestic scene has a terrible chin.

    I didn't mean to sound like i was shooting you down, it's just that it's really annoying when people call fighters 'chinny' when it's based on hear say and highlight reels.

    Can you believe some people will still tell you Cotto is 'eggy chinned'? :nut

    Lazcano rocked him badly as well.

    Hatton's problem was his defence or lack thereof and not his chin though. His chin was actually one of his strong points. He just couldn't get away with using it as his defence as he went up in level. It was never the same after the Kostya fight.

    I have a theory on why Tommy got hurt and it's not because he had poor whiskers.

    Herol Graham most definitely did not have a chin issue!!! Based on getting sparked by arguably the hardest P4P puncher of all time???

    I guess Dick Tiger had a **** chin too? :rofl

    Hide, Maccarinelli, Khan, Litzau, Hatton all spring to mind.

    who else did Pac or Mayweather banjo so spectacularly? And Hatton was in big trouble and saved by the ref and the shoelaces against Lazcano, all over the place against pillow-fisted Collazo and Vince Phillips had him holding on like an octopus as usual. Down against Magee.
    It's fair to say Hatton's chin was always very much yolk-positive. And even more so now.

    Which obviously makes his accomplishments all the greater
