    Garcia/Mayweather/McCall/Rios/Provodnikov/Froch/Arakawa/Abraham ofc all have tested granite jaws

    Gotta go with Mayweather

    18 years of boxing, never knocked down once. Especially considering HIS level of opposition. It's a sight to behold.

    I think Floyd's chin is overrated. He's never been down because he's barely been hit which is a testament to his amazing defence. If he got into more exchanges I'm sure he'd touch the canvas. The few times he has been been tagged properly he was rocked.

    Best chin Hopkins, tua

    :deal his chin is overrated he makes up for it for his defense no way he would survive if he did not have that defense the few times he got hit cleanly he dances for the stars.....

    Floyd gets hit, and has gotten hit. Just not a lot. His chin isnt granite. But its damn close to it. A lot of these shots at least knock a guy down. some knock them out, but at the very least most guys are going down off these shots.

    Ya you proved my point. He never gets hit like that but if he does he's been hurt.

    So then what's your definition of a good chin? Someone doesnt have a good chin because they get hurt? Everyone gets hurt in boxing. A good chin doesnt mean you dont get hurt. A good chin means you can weather the storm and not get KO'd.

    Those shots Defo would have knocked down a lot of people. I think if he didn't hold onto mosely then he would have gone down, but testimony to mayweather he can take a bloody good shot

    Maybe with the Mosley shot, but even after he got hit he was smiling. and even looked back at Mosley after it happened. He wasnt like on his feet unconscious or anything. I think his recovering ability is better than his chin though.

    I'd say Arakawa has an iron stomach. I couldn't believe all the shots he took against Figueroa and didn't go down (I don't think he did?). **** was crazy.

    i think the best part about it is...the first shot he gets hit with...he automatically ties up shanes right arm...like on instinct so he cant get it off again...just long enough to recover and frustrate him.....pretty crazy to see him get rocked like that and just on instinct tie him right up....cause he rarely is in that position
