George Groves - is he chinny? TRUE or FALSE

I didn't think he was chinney - but I'm the 4th of the Rebrasse fight he was wobbled so there are a few red flags - but there are people with far worse chins that have gone on to greater things that GG has achieved

 

Didn't you know,mate? The 2 defeats by Froch have done him no harm at all? In fact they've made him a much better fighter.

 

That is an absolute myth, it wouldn't have knocked down Froch or Kessler, let alone knocked them out, never mind leaving them in in a heap of bones, face down on the floor. And the facts are it was the first major shot landed on Groves and he was not gassed, he is chinny.

I find it quite hilarious Groves was winding Froch up, asking where his "one punch power was". The funny thing is, I still dont think he has it. He relies on bludgeoning opponents down then scoring the knockout. Look at how many similar shots Bute took and he was stopped on his feet after 5 rounds of it.

Groves has no chin, and now he has being badly exposed, it will happen again!

 

oh come on man , even froch has admitted its the best punch he has ever thrown , of course it knocks out a huge percentage of opponents . i see very few fighters at that weight getting up from that in 10 seconds .

 

The shot that Groves hit Froch with KOs anyone other than Froch, upto 175. That was a perfect right hand. Groves was landing 3 hit combos on Froch in the first fight, each punch as hard as the one he was hit by. Please refer me to instances where Froch has landed a 1 hit KO? He throws a lot of bludgeoning arm punches, and whilst he said it was the best shot he's thrown, he's not a KO artist and he is far from a technical puncher, so it doesn't mean a great deal.

When questioning someone's chin you will also cconsider defence and stamina, both very weak patches for Groves, you will come to the conclusion that he is not a durable fighter, aka having a good chin.

People are high on Groves because of how he fought in the first Froch fight. Froch took one of the biggest shots I have ever seen followed by an onslaught of punishment and was clearly heavily concussed. He still won the fight in the end, and IMO Groves will always fall short against durable, semi hard hitting, world class fighters. He is young however, and I hope he proves me wrong as he's a seriously talented lad.

 

Not at elite level.

 

Exactly, it's an absolute myth. Froch or Kessler would still be standing, Bika, Abraham and DeGale possibly still standing, certainly not knocked out and 100 percent not face down, leg bent over and hardly able to walk minutes later.

 

Froch has been dropped by shots that weren't any better than that. That punch stops most SMW's especially if there is a British referee.

 

He is not Chinny but he has not got a Muhammed Ali chin. However he is a dangerous boxer puncher with good skills.

 

Incorrect, he has being dropped by a single shot, not multiple He has being knocked down only once and it was a flash knockdown, he was smiling and got back up instantly. I'll alter my argument for debates sake, say some top super middle weights were counted out, they wouldn't be face down in a tangled up heap, being guided back to oxygen by a doctor minutes later. That is ability to recover from punishment and Groves doesn't have it. He is chinny and I don't know why people are so keen to deny that.

 

I would also like to point out the thread title "is he chinny? TRUE or FALSE". Doesn't really make sense

 

Jeez, is the pope Catholic? OF COURSE Groves has a glass jaw!! atsch Did you see how he got starched by Froch? With very rare exceptions, guys with solid chins do not get laid out like that And he's shown mandibular weakness in prior fights!!!

 

Incorrect. He was dropped by Groves and Taylor who are also not known for their one punch KO power.

When Groves dropped Froch, Froch was out for a second and then came around as he hit the floor. He was on his feet by 4. When Froch KO'd Groves, Groves was out for about 5 seconds. He was on his feet after about 11 seconds, not too bad considering the shot he got hit with.

When a big punch lands nicely, anybody can be dropped or KO'd.

You may think he's chinny, fair enough that's your opinion. I see no real evidence of it. He took a fair few shots off Froch before getting stopped. I don't think he's granite chinned but I don't see why anyone would think he is chinny either, I don't see him getting KO'd by feather-fisted guys.

 

:good

 

I obviously meant aside from the Groves shot, which is one of the hardest flush shots I've seen. The difference between the knockdowns was that Froch took the far bigger shot, and was looking up at him, got straight back up, finished the rou do taking more heavy shots, carried in throughout the fight taking everything but the kitchen sink as he was wide open and concussed! Groves was out cold for 5 or 6 seconds and unstable on his feet minutes later. You can't compare people to Froch mind, he has an inhuman chin. This doesn't change the fact that Groves has a weak chin, I honestly don't understand why it's in dispute!
