    Your profile pic is even more fitting, sullen, emptyness. nothing but a featureless black screen, offering nothing of consequence and not even remotely entertaining.

    World-ending.

    Jackson could box a bit when he was so inclined (check out his fight with Baek as proof of that), but like a lot of other flame-throwers, he let those skills stagnate as soon as it became apparent just how ridiculously hard he was able to hit.

    Trinidad was like that too. I'm wondering if it will happen to GGG.

    Good point. When Tito was at WW, he showed that he was a very underrated boxer. But like a lot of heavy hitters, he fell in love with the power, became too much a head hunter. abandoning his body work (Which was damn good BTW). I don't see the same happening with 3G, since he's more disciplined, and a better boxer technically, then Trinidad was. But one never knows.

    What part of the OP asks about who has a better chin? Stay on topic! It's not a very convoluted topic at all. A straight forward question, who hit harder? You pull chins out of your a s s! LOL

    I really hope that he doesn't.

    I would really hate to see GGG get Ronda Rousey'd because he's forgotten to practise his skills in lieu of big punches.

    Big punchers are not exactly rare. Fine boxers with a great jab, great punch variety and superb footwork AND a big punch are far more rare.

    I disagree. GGG's chin isn't granite, it's steel.

    Damn good chin, I agree, but the OP isn't comparing chins! Sorry to all the 3G fans that are upset that G isn't considered the bestest puncher ever! LOL

    ???

    Facts are facts. I voted for JJ myself.

    GGG > JJ, however.

    LOL You call me a tool , but your dumba$$ comments on chins when the OP is about who punches harder? Ask a guy where he's going and he tells you where he's been LOL

    Oh, your comment about my avatar cut me real deep!

    I think their power is very similar, both use/used leverage plus their physical power to land that power, but the difference is the body frame and the fighting style. JJ was more a puncher who could counterpunch and box when he wanted, and from all angles too. GGG is a pressure fighter that can also counterpunch and box when he wants and also lands punches from weird angles most fighters don't. Both have one punch ko's and stoppages. JJ's best wins are Norris at 154 and Graham at 160, highly skilled and hofers. GGG would need to beat a Lara and Canelo to match that.
