I don't think any of these new heavyweights have bad chins

Yet the post before you said there was no exceptions?? You go down you got a glass jaw period then someone uses your "logic" against your heroes and there are exceptions???

I can't wait to hear more double standards...

 

Joshua and Whyte are among those who have proven chins.

 

Exactly. Ali was dropped by Sonny Banks, too. Frazier was down three times (by Bonavena and Bruce) before he ever fought Mathis.

Heavyweights get knocked down. So much so it's amazing when someone can go a career and NOT get knocked down.

So many fans came to the sport in the last decade when the lighter weight fighters dominated, and lighter weight boxers hit each other a thousand times and sometimes never stagger a guy.

With most heavyweights, literally one punch can end it.

It took a brutal uppercut (like Foreman flattening Norton) by Joshua to keep Whyte down.

Joshua's chin is fine. Whyte's is fine. Wilder's is fine. Fury's is fine. I don't know if Parker has been tested yet to know. He hasn't in the fights I've seen. But we'll find out.

But every heavyweight gets staggered and 99.9 percent of them go down in their careers. The ones who consistently go down and stay down have bad chins. The ones who get up and win most of their fights don't.

:good

 

If you get dropped twice, chances are you have a shaky chin. Once could be explained as fluke, but two times is a pattern. It is not definitive evidence of a glass jaw - you have to get KTFO for that, at least a couple of times.

 

Meh, you can easily say the same thing about other weight classes since they're the same size as each other roughly. Just accept that some chins are better than others.
