    Explain yourself then? im interested to know why you think his chin isnt Granite... I actually think Groves is probably one of the hardest hitting SM

    This is an important point. Froch's chin is certainly solid -but dentable. He can be hurt, which is what the Groves fight certainly should confirm for those who thought otherwise

    ATG chins should be reserved for guys like Chuvalo or McCall, and not too many others. A true ATG chin is VERY rare in boxing. Most fighters' chins are fragile, to one degree or another.

    He has/had a great chin just a terrible defense.

    LOL, what fickle fair weather fans are on ESB.

    The early knock down was more due to Froch having such poor balance then a weak chin.
    I have always said that one day Froch would be knocked down due to his poor defence, poor balance, and the fact that he is too slow to fight with his hands at his waist.

    Although Froch touched the canvas, he wasn't as hurt as many fools believe.

    :rofl

    Getting back on topic Froch's chin is still pretty good I think. It certainly isn't "Glass". I think Adrien Broner is the new standard for glass.

    One thing is for sure, Froch was hurt by Groves and is afraid to fight him in a rematch. It's a shame as many would love to see that fight.............
