    How many match ups can you think of between two elite fighters who have had in excess of 40 fights (obviously over 60 for Clen), both fought a bare minimum of 20 + world title fights, have been pros for 16-17 years, and neither have ever been down? Surely that's got to be pretty rare?

    Bivol?? :meparto::meparto:

    Half his opponents took his shots. Sullivan is the only relevant opponent he's stopped and that was in the dead of the 12th round.

    Hagler had the goat chin and he was also a better fighter than GGG, but GGG is f......g tough

    GGG has an ATG chin for sure, (as does Canelo) but Hagler proved his against better punchers.

    But he’s still a LHW and he was teeing off on Canelo.

    Canelo punches couldn't even bother 130 pound Mayweather.

    You can argue that Lamotta has a better chin than GGG. The St. Valentine's Day Massacre is a shining case for that.

    No matter how good you want to believe Robinson was he was only a 140 pound fighter naturally.

    Not even the best of my lifetime, by my estimation (granted, the second of these examples took place at 168 after Chris had moved up);

    Though it might've been Gerald ultimately took a punch too well for his own good, you don't eat multiple clean hits off Jackson and stay vertical/compos mentis if your beard isn't absolute granite.

    GGG’s chin is GOAT tier, that flush right he ate from Canelo that shook Canelo himself was unreal.

    You are confused, can not land a punch does not equal to Mayweather eating a punch.
