    I enjoy watching both fighters but Rigondeaux has glass chin and Golovkin has iron I think so defense does not explain those results imo

    GGG's chin is pure, bonafide grade AAA iron

    Rigo's chin is certified grade AAA candy sugar glass

    cubans have glass mandibles, that's why they have to work more on defense

    GGG has a cast iron chin, Rigo's chin is suspect

    Rigo's chin is glass whereas GGG's chin appears to be very solid.

    Golovkin's offense negates the need for an elite defense. Once opponents feel his power and can't figure out how to defend against them they become gun shy. Look at his last fight, Murray had nothing left in the tank later in the fight and Golovkin didn't even bother to move his head or cover up anymore. Murray was so deflated and fatigued that his punches had nothing on them.

    Rigo has a much better defense but cannot take a punch as well as Golovkin. Plain and simple.

    Even when he fought sick against Ouma and was losing on points, his power eventually got him a TKO win.
