    Froch is genetically Polish, so his iron chin makes more sense. :lol:

    Wrong, Khan's lack of Chin wasn't just displayed in one fight, it's been shown just about every time he has taken a solid punch. Feather Fisted Limond and Gomez put him on ***** Street, Prescott destroyed him in a matter of seconds, and Maidana, who by the way was huffing and puffing like an emphysema patient in a marathon by the time he caught up to him and is also a highly overrated puncher, nearly finished him off. His Chin is absolutely awful.

    Maidana was slamming shots into an old, shot Morales whose Chin is gone and they had little effect. He also could do nothing with Alexander. The only legitimate opponent he has stopped was Quitor Ortiz who has an awful Glass Jaw and he wasn't even KOed, he quit like he always does. KOing cab drivers in Colombia does not make a Savage Power Puncher.

    I am not saying he has no power, I am saying he is not the JWW Rocky Marciano that Khan's fans make him out to be. When a guy KOs bum after bum and then fails to do that against any upper-echelon opponents then it means he is not the Savage Power Puncher that he is being made out to be.

    Shouldn't count Froch- as his chin is Polish, and Calzaghe's is Italian. And tehere you have the long pathetic glass list from UK.

    So any fighter that goes 46 fights without being knocked out or losing has a chin?

    Calzaghe's chin is made of compacted cocaine the density of depleted uranium annealed in dragon's fire.

    No, you have to judge on a case-by-case basis. Calzaghe, however, never looked to have a suspect Chin until the end of his career when it was still good enough to get by his also aging contemporaries.

    I saw your title and for just a second thought your avatar was of a younger Phil Collen whose death I hadn't yet heard about.
