    Lol. Someone like Hearns tagging Mayweather? Hearns starches him and Mayweathers' nickname goes from money to the canvas kid

    Vernon Forrest would have sparked him. And don't get me started on Margarito, Williams and Tito. Zab dropped him and he has no power on his right hand I'd say he has a very average chin just hard to hit.

    Level if delusional hatred for Floyd is amazing. There are plenty of things to you can criticise Floyd about (and deservedly so), but his chin? MrPr, MarcusBrowne and the like - you come across as totally ******ed.

    Don't know about his chin, but his head is as hard as an anvil. I'm assuming we are talking about his chin literally, because he's been hit with good punches everywhere on his head and never been dropped.

    So how's about we talk about the Chop Chop corley shot?

    That was a "good-un" but floyd didn't go down. I never said it was the best ever but it is an iron chin. Who do you rank among the iron chin warriour list i'm curious to know. :admin

    The Chin Checkers will talk Chins as it is an all-important part of boxing.

    His chin is decent but has no use for it as he hardly gets hit. He still has it in its original cellophane...

    Mayweather has been able to go through as many fights without being put down because of his superior defensive skills .

    But That does not change the fact that his chin is still average .

    Shane rocked Cotto with MANY overhand rights in their fight , Sugars overhand right was the cause of a Cut over Miguels eye .

    Margarito did not get hit the same way Floyd was hit ??? Are you serious ??

    Floyds career would have ended had he absorbed the same hellacious shots Margarito took against Mosley .

    If he had a glass chin like you fools are saying he would of fallen many times from some of the harder shots he didnt see coming.

    The first shot didn't hurt him as much as the second one. The second shot hit him in the temple and that was the harder punch. The first shot stunned him and he reacted smartly by grabbing and smothering. His chin is fine, a temple shot like the one he got hit with especially because he didn't see it is one of the worst kind of shots you can take.

    Believe it or not there is a middle ground between glass and cast iron. As mentioned I think Floyd's chin on a scale of 1-10 is about a 7-7.5 range.

    That's hardly a slam at the guy, but face it he ain't taking the shots Tyson took in the Lewis fight and lasting anywhere close to that long. And if Hearns were to catch him clean, his new nickname would be Floyd kisses the canvass Mayweather.
