    Rate Pacquiao's chin on a scale of 1 to 10. I don't want to hear anything about 'early in his career', or **** about him being malnourished. Your chin is your chin. Rate it honestly based on the evidence. All knockdowns are below.

    I'd rate it about a 7. Good, but far from Iron.

    I'd say it's about 8.5/10. A great chin that, since coming to America and being shielded by a very weak defence, has been through a who's-who list of incredible fighters who could punch pretty hard, and it's taken it this long to be knocked down/out.

    You don't really go through wars like this -- against bigger, stronger opponents that hit very hard -- without having a great chin:

    the reason he gets away with it is because of the fact that he is fast and he tires his opponent first, he can take a few shots from marg and cotto but if he's facing an accurate fighter like marquez or floyd he would get ktfo due to his not so decent chin.

    Not that I'm a big Mayweather fan, but how is Pacquiao's chin better?

    Mayweather's been on the canvas once, technically, but wasn't shaken up. Mosley had him momentarily stunned. Corley had him hurt for a short time. That's about it though.

    And was also knocked down/cross eyed by a jab. Arguments can be made either way.

    Marquez has hurt him in every fight. Marquez is a puncher but Manny could never just walk him down or anything. He always had respect for Marquez´s power.

    Mayweather being visibly hurt less times than Pacquiao his testament to his defence, not his chin. The man gets hit far less, and is therefore far less likely to be hurt. Pacquiao's been getting hit with those Judah, Mosley and Corely shots on a consistent basis since coming to the US, and not once, up until JMM 4, has he shown signs of being hurt like Mayweather has. Safe to say, peak-wise, Pacquiao has a more durable chin based on evidence of his actually being put to the test fight after fight.

    That's fair enough, but the reaction to the punches when he does get hit is what I'm looking at. All it takes is one punch to do damage, he doesn't have to getting hit a lot for us to get an idea how well his chin holds up. I'm not going to say his chin is better than Pacquiao's, but I can't say it's concrete that it's worse either, based on what I've seen.
