Why I think Mayweather's chin is good.

Floyd has a good chin. I don't think it is a weakness for him.

You see alot of fighters with good chins and I will use Froch for this example.

Froch takes alot of punches on the chin and stays on his feet, but has been wobbled and hurt a few times. Dirrell hurt him at one point and his legs wobbled but he stayed up because he has heart. Taylor hit him in the temple and it put him down for the first time in his professional career, but after that he took even worse punches from Taylor on the chin and managed to stay up. The shots to the temple area are worse than chin shots.

What I noticed in the Mayweather vs Mosley fight was that Floyd took that first shot from Mosley and his legs didn't wobble, yes they stiffened up a bit, but this is Mosley we are talking about. Floyd did what he had to, held on and kept his defence tight and was still mentally there. Just moments later in the same round he was hit by Mosley hard on the temple area and his legs buckled, but he didn't go down.

Those punches would have put most fighters down and I think it's laughable when people say Floyd has a china chin. I think he has a good chin and heart and what he says on camera should be disregarded - too many people believe what he says and don't read between the lines.

Just a few of my thoughts.
