    I mean it might help explain why he rarely opens up in fights like someone of his skillset should be able to do. Particularly against the kind of weak opposition he usually faces.....:deal

    Why not? His chin's never really been tested by a big banger...

    I think he has...his chin is on par with his father's. Which is not great let's be honest.
    What saves him is his defence and great recovery/boxing brain...

    One shot from 40 year old father time Mosley had him scrabbling around looking for directions to the ***** street.

    140lb Hatton had him doing the reverse chicken dance...in rd 1.

    And "super" zab - ain't nothing super about him...had him kd from a small Hook..

    These are all signs of a fragile mandible that's hidden under his defensive genius...

    his been hit by great punchers with cracking shots

    mosley has tagged him about as perfectly as you can be tagged

    ortiz landed 1 or two decent punches on him

    judah got some good shots in

    corley got him good



    through all of this he has only been down once officially in his career (which was because he broke his hand, he did not even recieve a punch - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfhrnIaTLNg 1 MINUTE 15 into this video you will see the replay)

    judah put him down in one of the early rounds so i think it was more of a balance issue call it a knockdown if you so please. that makes it 1 knockdown after having his chin tested many times by legitimate punchers

    it may not be lamotta level but it sure aient china

    :blood that punch from hatton didn't even land, Floyd was off balance and stumbled back. And the punch from Judah, was very well timed, it caught Floyd coming in and sent him off balance, really not a big deal. You need to either start wearing glasses or stop making **** up.

    Nothing you wrote put a question mark over floyds chin.

    It shows how good Mayweather is defensively that after 17 or so years as a pro, people still think his chin might be bad.

    Maybe grade-A, or maybe grade-B. He's been shaken up enough by the few punches that's landed on him. Someone with an above-average chin should be able to take 2 shots by old man Mosley and Demarcus Corley. Mosley doesn't really hurt anyone he's fought from welterweight and above. He hurt Margarito but that took around 150 power shots and exhaustion. On floyd he landed 2 shots. Floyd's chin is probably average, or below average.

    No, recovering from being hurt does not mean that you weren't hurt in the first place. That is dopey talk. Recovering well just means you're good at recovering.

    Hell Froch was knocked down by Taylor with one shot. He has an iron chin what does that say about him? PBF wasn't badly hurt against Corely he was stunned. He was more hurt against Mosley than Corely. This is boxing guys are going to get hit and hurt it's how you respond when you do and so far PBF has answered all questions there.
