:deal I'm not disputing that Floyd's a tough guy, but his chin ain't granite. If Shane had connected with 2 more clean blows in that round Floyd would have been in serious trouble! Unfortunately Shane failed to capitalize and didn't jump on Mayweather when he had the chance.
Strange how Shane looked a shot fighter after having a great 2nd round. Maybe the blood tests sucked the stamina out of the 38 year old coupled with the long layoff. Props to Mayweather, he did what he had to do.
I almost won a million dollars playing the lottery but I didn't . So guess what I'm still broke as a ****in' joke. Floyd is still undefeated 41-0...:yep
This thread is bull****. Margarito has an excellent chin. He took bombs from Cintron, Clottey, and Cotto and smiled. Only Shane was able to stop him. So that alone should tell you that Shane has incredible punching power. He took Mayorga out with one shot. It took Trinidad and Oscar multiple rounds of clean punching to wear him down. Shane is a hell of a puncher!! Floyd has a good chin. Give it up, man.
He was KO before. He was KD and stood down for more than 10 seconds against Hussein. He was Rocked against JMM multiple times. He was put on ***** street by Solis. He was Put on ***** street by Larios. Now imagine Shane Mosley connecting those punches on Pac...! KO
He took 2 HUGE shots and didn't go down. In fact he's never been down in his career. I think he passed the chin test and every other test thrown at him in the sport of boxing. Furthermore, you're a dumbass. Pacquiao is too scared to even step in the ring with Mayweather, but when he does, the same thing will happen to Pacquiao that happened to Judah. Mayweather will start out slow and then take over the fight from the 3rd or 4th round on. Blasting Pacquiao's face repeatedly with huge right hands everytime Pac tries to do something.
No, that's the glass jaw test. But if somebody gets rocked, say by an old, inactive fighter, perhaps their chin is not super-sturdy.:hey
i wonder if it were a prime hearns or leonard that went up against floyd. he staggered against an old mosley and needed to clinch hard to recover. his chin doesn't belong up there. only his skills do.
I love it when Floyd fans say he passed the chin check test. The only reason he passed was because Mosley was tired with in seconds of throwing those two punches that rocked him. He had a dead man in front of him and he couldn't put him in the coffin. Talk about getting old over night. How lucky is Floyd. Although im sure he was hoping Mosley would come into the fight old instead of coming in with a little left. In that short time we saw that Mayweather in fact doesn't take a gd punch. Hence his overly defensive style.
