    Excellent choices, guys. Punch resistance is critical to success in Boxing and oftentimes, as is shown by this thread, it is the SOLE determining factor in a hard-fought fight.

    Yet your wisdom is most often found in threads about fighters that have had quite succesfull careers despite their shaky chin... Maybe there's just a tad bit more to the sport than having a granite chin, although, granted, it will be a determining factor for those with lesser skills.

    Both had superlative Chins and it never determined one of their fights. Both were able to eat monster shot after monster shot and continue and it was superior fighting that one each of the contests.

    Kirkland won via having slightly better ring IQ, and I stress slightly better, not at all by having a superior Chin. He has one of the worst Chins in Boxing today, possibly of all-time, and only avoided being brutally and embarrassingly KOed in the first round for a second time because Angulo decided to punch himself out on Jelly Jaw James' arms. Kirkland's Chin is a ****ing disgrace and he should never be mentioned in a thread like this that is discussing the merits of certified Iron Chinned Warriors™ . I can understand how someone like you might be confused, however, since you haven't come to terms with the fact that your hero Quitor Ortiz is also in possession of one of his generation's worst Glass Jaws.:lol::rofl:patsch
