Has Floyd hid a vulnerable chin throughout his prime like Roy Jones did?

His chin has not been tested enough. No one can say it's good. He's been visibly hurt and he doesn't get hit too much. Can't say it's glass either (except to wind up his cheerleaders). But it's a question mark.

 

I don't see how people can say he has a bad chin all the sudden when this whole past week, all I've read on here is how big a puncher Shane is...lol

Floyd took 2 huge right hands right on the button and didn't go down, smiled, and recovered like a warrior.

Lesser men go down from that.

 

Jones chin wasn't that bad when he was young. People forget that Hopkins landed some flush straights on Jones in their first fight. I say he has a good chin. If Floyd's chin was glass he would've been ko'd already.

 

Mosely doesn't usually knock people out with single shots. He's an acumilative KO artist.

 

I don't think so. He took solid hits from a very strong puncher, never went down, and fought one of the best fights I've seen from him. This was not the boring fight I expected from him. He put on a helluva boxing lesson, and with the exception of Forrest, beat Shane more decisevely than any other fighter.

 

He grabbed Moselys arm straight after the big punch. Is that legal? Mosely couldn't move as MAyweather had a vice like grip.

 

shane is a terrific puncher, and 90 % of welterweights would have hit the deck in round 2. Shane has a couple of 1 punch knockouts against some pretty good guys.

 

And you've also heard comments about Margarito having the best chins anyone's ever seen. So I'm not sure how that makes Floyd's bad.

 

His chin is a question mark still, but Shane packs a wallop in his punches. No way to judge his chin for sure, but he does have great instincts when hurt.

 

one thing to remember is that a guys punch resistance weakens over time.

 

Shane certainly isn't a welterweight one-punch knockout artist but he has a ton of brute strength and commitment to his punches...he caught Floyd right. It happens. I am not suspicious of Floyd's chin at all really.
