    I can't remember a dude's chin being the topic/highlight of so much pre-fight trash talk... Surely Shua's chin ain't egg shell?

    You don't get up from that Wlad
    right hand if you don't have a chin. That shot would've levelled most guys, and it remains to be seen if Parker can take a punch like that.

    The most interesting thing is how fragile Joshua's ego must be that he's got his promoter and his trainer sat in the press conference reassuring everyone that Joshua's chin and mental strength are top-notch.

    It's like watching school teachers or parents having a word in defense of a sensitive little kid who's been mildly teased by another kid.

    Joshua's seems like one of those characters who might be totally destroyed mentally when he does get beat. Which will happen, sooner or later.

    his chin is above average I believe.. I don't think it will be his chin that lets him down vs parker if he loses... it would just be his gas tank more likely.

    .... and AJ annoyed by Joseph Parker of all people. Gentle, quiet, Joseph.
    David Higgins is a clownish nerd, a cowboy. He's been accurately likened to "David Brent".

    If AJ can't handle their criticism, he's gonna have problems if/when some real wind-up merchants come after him (Tyson Fury being the best at that, no doubt).

    Parker reminds me of those timid Jehovah's Witnesses that come a knockin' on my door once in awhile. You give them a stern look and they apologize and leave quickly.

    That's how I see it.If it goes late and AJ gasses,it's possible we might see late tko.But more likely because AJ is gassed,that a dodgy chin..

    hasnt got a bad chin at all, but i think his gastank will empty if thought a real mover. and that will be his downfall.

    You could see the steam coming out his ears when that little dweeb higgins was saying he had a bad chin, it would have been hilarious if he just snapped the little maggot in half.
