    All I know is his chin isn't a real weakness nor is his stamina , 2 massive weaknesses Wladimir had to overcome with shear size and style , AJ isn't afforded that luxury due to the hw being so ****ing huge now

    That's not saying he won't be KTFO, he and Haye and DW have the kind of rare power that can KTFO of any human no matter what, your chin can't save you from certain power, concussions will render you unconscious and there's nothing that can be done about it except having better defense at that specific time

    A glass jawed Brit is par for the course.

    If he faces Haye Or Wlad or Ortiz then the chin question will be answered.

    I smell a Frank Bruno type set of whiskers

    Not exactly fragile, but once hurt like a deer in headlights.

    Joshuas been knocked
    • by Whyte
    • In that video above (LOL, I think Joshua asks the reff "what happened to me?")
    • By Price in sparring
    • And against that cruiser (details all over the net particularly youtube)
    Joshua does not deny any of them.

    The "glass jaw/chin" tag is just a cheap way people run down fighters they dont like regardless of whether it has any truth to it or not. In the end it doesn't really matter how durable his jaw is if he works out a way to cover up any weaknesses and win - and currently he's an undefeated professional boxer and IBF Champion so he's clearly not being adversely effected by any such weakness at the moment.

    Trust me, some have quite durable jaws. Those durable ones arent free from getting knocked but boy do they have a set of whiskers.

    If David Price's right hand connected flush on any heavyweight they would be in trouble, the man has a grenade for a right hand. He sparred AJ when he was still an amateur, he'd only been boxing for 2-3 years. Price had won an Olympic medal and making his journey as a pro.

    Sparring is sparring, **** happens. Guys can be at different stages in there careers, at a different point in training camp or looking to work on something specific in that spar.

    Then digging up old video's of him as an amateur in the euro / world championships lol, again AJ had only been boxing 2-3 years. The fact he was even boxing at that level in such a short period of time shows you the man's class.

    His chin hasn't been properly tested yet as a pro, so to call him chinny based on the above is clutching at straws.

    We haven't seen Joshua in enough competitive fights to judge his chin properly. Whyte wobbled him with a left hook though and Whyte isn't the biggest of punchers...

    Molina has a great chance of beating Joshua making the Klitschko bout null and void. Haye will smash Bellew then go through the rest of the division like a knife through butter.
