    It's overrated in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, he can take a very good punch, but iron? No. Iron to me is Glen Johnson.

    A decent chin, but wayyyy overrated: dropped heavily by MW Taylor, buzzed badly by Dirrell, buzzed badly by Kessler. A 'granite' chin would not get shaken every other fight.

    Good chin, it gets overblown though.

    Good chin, it ain't Glen Johnson legendary level though. Being knocked down by Taylor shouldn't have happened. Froch looked pretty ****ing hurt too.

    He looked pretty hurt against Kessler in the 8th or 9th from a right hand too if my memory is correct?

    Yeah. As I said, it's good and it won't ever lose him a fight but it's nothing of legendary proportions.

    Yeah, I agree. It's not iron. He got dropped by JT, was rocked a couple of times Dirrell, and Kessler even had his moments.

    But with that said, it's still a very good chin. It's saved him from one or two extra losses, that's for sure. Nothing like Vitali's or Margarito's, but it's still pretty solid. A guy like Roy Jones would have ****ed him up pretty badly, though.

    He's a tough durable guy, but he can't fearlessly walk through the punches of any elite guy without getting hurt and forced to stop and reconsider.

    *troll mode*

    Doesn't matter. Andrade had an iron chin too.


    *my old self mode*

    Real good chin. Incredible determination. What he gets hit with, fuels his fire. That said, Bute has a SMALL chance of hurting him real bad to the body.
