    Didn't you get the memo? Apparently anyone who gets knocked down has a glass a jaw. Yes, glass jaws exist and whilst Kovalev may not have have a granite chin, he clearly isn't chinny.

    His reluctance to engage when tagged is a clue.

    Old man Nard kept him honest even though he threw next to nothing, and Kovalev was very aware of Pascals right hand even though Pascal is not a KO merchant.

    I think he'd outbox and KO Stevenson, but he'd need to be careful of Stevensons left hand.

    David Haye's chin is definitely not iron.

    I'm not talking about the 12th by the way, I think it was 10th or 11th.

    He was knocked out by a roofer (literally), not a 2 x world amateur champion, with headgear on and dropped heavily and BADLY hurt in the pros by a SMW with a 26% KO percentage. He had to rugby tackle Mock to the canvas shortly afterwards to buy some time because he was still badly hurt.

    He was? Until he does the drunken pirate shuffle his chin is beyond question.
