    Opinions asked for here.

    If a fighter goes 14 years engaging in 64 fights without being kod and only gets floored ONCE in fights during that time,does that suggest he has
    1 A solid chin
    2 A suspect chin
    In your opinion.?
    Thanks for your time.

    A very Solid chin. Especially since that man was taking on some big hitters during that time.

    Its difficult to tell.

    I would definately say they have decent chin but the stats don't really tell the whole story.

    Put it this way.

    Either Johnson had a solid chin or he was in a class of his own at not getting hit on it.

    The one knockdown was to a small but hard hitting middleweight. Who seconds afterwards Johnson knocked out.

    Ketchel was 5 9in and weighed 170 1/4 lbs for that fight, so not really a small Middle.
    My personal opinion is that Johnson could not have been in too bad shape to ko Ketchel with his very next punch.

    Can't tell just by looking at stats and numbers. Roy Jones managed to go a long time without getting KO'd too. You'd need to see who the fighter fought, who hit him, and how he actually reacted to being hit.

    Precisely why Jones had a good chin.

    I tend to second this view.

    Johnson was one of the toughest to land a glove on. He was the epitome of elusive.
