    Chin Talk:

    I have seen several posters say that "Mayweather is feather fisted" or that "Mayweather has no power" in discussions about the fight. If Mayweather KO's Canelo does that mean Canelo has a Glass Jaw? :think

    Thoughts?

    By their reasoning, probably so. But in reality, a Mayweather KO is much more likely to come as much from Canelo being gassed than from a thunderous punch.

    Nah. it would be from massive punishment, Mayweather doesnt have 1 punch KO power but can batter Canelo till the Ref stops it, which is not gonna happen

    More likely Canelo would be a labelled a weight-drained zombie according to ESB if that does happen

    Terry O'Connor would still stop it if Canelo ate like 5 punches without throwing back

    if canelo gets wobbled for a half of second over 12 rounds, the douche bags on this board would call him glass jawed.

    if he had no problems making 153 or 151 in the past, I don't get why will people still claim he was weight-drained

    If Floyd hurts Canelo with the first few clean punches that land, yes, but I doubt it. I also doubt Floyd will KO Canelo. A lot of fans are going to be pissed off when Floyd runs and potshots his way to a UD, he'll then claim that his hand was hurt and that will be that.

    Not to be controversial, but this question got me to thinking..... If Canelo somehow were to KO May, would that mean that Floyd has a glass jaw? I'm of the opinion that May actually has an underrated chin. Yeah he's been hurt, but his recuperative powers are amazing.

    For the record, if Nelo does get KO'd (and that's a big "if"), I would assume it'd be from repeated punishment throughout many rounds. If that's the case, than no, I wouldn't say that Canelo has a glass jaw.

    I mean that some anti-Mayweather or dksab posters will make that excuse.

    Although I do think the 152 could be a factor when he made 151 he was still v young and it is impossible to accurately judge the true effects the weight has on a fighter (an experiment with no control possible)

    Mayweather can only KO glass jawed fighters, so I guess it would have to be true.. But Canelo hasn't showed any signs of ppor punch resistance. I think if Mayweather does stop him it will likely be a bogus stoppage.

    This is a thread for Chin Talk so all perspectives about Mandible Fortitude are welcome. This is ESB we talk Chins on here.

    Mayweather is an Iron Chinned Warrior I don't think it it possible for him to be KOed by a headshot. Bodyshot? Possible......but not the head.

    FACT, Canelo will be weight drained and weakened for this fight, it was part of Catchweather plan all along

    If Lord of Cherrypickers KO's him, it'll mean the plan worked even better than Floyd expected
