    It's obviously not margo level.... Not many chins are like margo's..

    Moseley caught FMJ with a great punch, he almost went down but recovered really well...and possibly won the round.

    I'd say it's a good chin...but he's defense is THAT good, he hasn't needed to rely on it, unlike many other boxers.

    Yes he has .


    Badly faded Mosley nearly ended their fight by touching him ONCE .

    Corley rocked the hell out of him , had him retreating with his back against the ropes .

    Judah dropped with him with 1 hit .

    Zab ALSO caught him with a haymaker and once again had him quickly retreating as well with his back against the ropes .

    That's definitely not an Iron chin .

    Its a very simple question .

    Floyd Mayweather

    Does he have an Iron chin ??

    YES OR NO .

    In your post , you admit he does NOT have an Iron chin , but then you vote yes he does ??

    You should have voted NO then .

    This is boxing, you're going to get hit. If you count on one hand how many times an 18 year vet has been visibly hurt, then he has a damn good chin.

    he has not been hit clean enough to say he has a good chin and the few times he has been hit he has struggled

    I like to reserve the term Iron chin for the sports greatest chinned fighters.

    Floyd has a very good chin, I have seen enough and seen him react to hard shots enough to where I believe it is not Iron as some claim. But still a very good one.

    Hes saying Floyd has never ever been hit clean which is exaggeration .

    If you really think he's only been hit clean a few times over 46 fights, then perhaps you're not really paying attention.

    Well he's been rocked when he was cold and in the beginning of the fight for what 18+ years? Yes he's got a Iron chin clearly.

    No he does not have an Iron Chin .

    The way he responds to punches says it all .
