    he's got the ol mayweather chin. Sam Gerrard staggered him too, in an off tv fight way back early on.

    Man I'm still not seeing it - Judah's foot inside Floyd's. I've watched it live a few times, have another go and let me know what you think. I'm not disputing he wasn't shaken but it's a knockdown for me.

    On thread in general - I don't think you achieve what Mayweather has without a decent chin. A good defence might protect it but you you're gonna get hit eventually...

    I believe it's solid enough.

    Shoulder roll not smart against a lefty man...HE HAS THE OPTION TO USE THAT TECHNIQUE BUT IT ISN'T NEARLY EFFECTIVE AS IT IS AGAINST A RIGHTY..FLOYD CAN SWITCH ON HIM THOUGH AND POSE THE SHOULDER ROLL FROM A NON-ORTHODOX STANCE...:thumbsup

    He'll be orthodox and keep circling back-left and hook off the jab. Pac will get beaten.

    It doesn't capture the instance clearly but watch the replay between ronds 2 and 3 and there you see clearly.

    Even in this photo Zab doesn't have his foot next to Floyd's-it's clearly on it.
    Regardless it's a moot point.

    Throwing hooks wont be good IMO...Pac has more power...I think Floyd will fight TALL and keep pac on the end of the jab....Straight right hand will be there as well....If floyd fights tall he can make this fight a lot easier...

    Cubex honestly, - I still don't see but I think we're violently agreeing in reality re his chin.

    ;)

    Don't know about that, he won't necessarily be hooking with Pacquiao, just using his hook to keep Pacquiao resetting his entire offense. And when he resets, Floyd will be in the middle of the ring. Much like a matador.

    A good enough chin to take Pacs Power.

    Good the guy has taken some hard shots from guys and took them well. Anyone questioning his chin needs to look elsewhere.
