    The punch Mosley hit him with sounding like he got smacked on the side of the head with a bat. Yet he didnt go down and kept coming forward and arguable won the remainder of the round.

    Id say good chin, excellent heart.

    i think his chin is decent but its his recovery speed thats good, after he got hit by Shane's shots u saw his legs go back to normal straight away, hes always in good shape ull never see him wobbled for long

    his chin is good.. he has officially been knocked down only once in his career (though that was bull**** it was his hand that made him touch the canvas...) but unofficially iv seen him get knocked down against judah which seemed like more of a balance issue

    what no 1 can deny is hes ability to recover..

    the shane fight was a perfect example of that

    He has got a Solid Chin. He's got been hit quite a few times and he's took the punches well. He also has fantastic Recovery.

    Never ever seen the canvas. Using V Klitchko logic, his is the greatest chin of all times.

    He got the count in a fight around 2000 as he hurt his hand and took a knee.

    But yeah, his chin is basically irrelevant. He's not in the getting-hit-business. It seems to be solid enough though, as I recall Hatton, Mosley and a few others hit him flush and he seemed to take it well and recover perfectly. It's a non-factor basically as is the case with Wlad, the only difference being Floyd fights excellent boxers his size.

    You mad lil fella? I don't think you mentioned anything I disagreed with. Hmm 7/10=clearly not an iron chin but that's higher than average so it's good enough.

    Yeah you're mad. That's funny. Don't let this hobby stress you out lil fella. Have a good day.

    His DNA carries weak chin syndrome through his bloodlines hence the emphasis on defense since he was a baby.

    One day soon however he will be like uncle roger taking as nap in the middle of that ring.

    have you not seen the Iron Chinned Warriors movie that Mayweather co starred in with other Iron Chinned Warriors like Hagler, Vitali Klitschko and George Chuvalo? :huh

    If you had you would already know the answer to this questions.

    Agree with this, similar to Calzaghe.

    Who cares he's mastered the sweet scinece ..If you can avoid flush shots what diffrence does it make how good your chin is ..Only a fool would want his chin tested !
