due to floyds great D his chin has never truly been tested. it got rocked by single shots, if some land a legit combo he mite go down . but i think his chin is really good just not the greatest ever but then agaiin we dont kno because it realy never has been truly tested. mosley touched him good in the 2nd round, zab was getting him and made his glove touch so he stunned him pretty good but he was fine, n cotto got plenty of shots in but still wasnt ever really tested.
I don't know if he has the best chin but definitely one of best. I'd put him in the category with James Toney and Evander Holyfield.
Lol why?
I'd say his chin is more like Oscar he can take a great shot get rocked and come back granted Oscar got kayo'd but it was a body shot so idk
a great chin comes from a strong neck, and you always see Floyd doing those neck workouts that most fighters dont. I think that's why he has a great chin

Agree a strong neck helps but to be honest you're born with a chin. It's like power, u either have it or you don't. TBH Floyd never really gets hit clean and rolls with the punches, having said the Shane tagged him right on the button.
I stopped watching after a minute b/c I didn't really see any clean hard punches.
Floyd does have a good chin though, hasn't been tested enough to be called the best.
this. Close thread/
What about Vitali? He took the most flush uppercut Lewis ever delivered. He also took a perfect straight-on-the-chin shot from Sanders. He doesn't get hit much, but he has taken a few bombs along the way like they were nothing.
You remember wrong the problem is with Manny and PPV , you see Manny dont bring anywhere near the revenue that Floyd does and while Floyds numbers are going up, Mannys are going down !! so Manny changed his tune on the I will take less money when Floyd offered Manny his biggest ever purse , so then Manny changes his mind to the I want half routine knowing that at this point Floyd wont accept that , so Manny can appear to want the fight but he doesnt really .
Get you facts in order on the right timeline , starting from Manny walking out on a 50/50 offer because he didnt want the PEDS testing , start there and follow the timeline !
Manny dont want the fight and Bradley winning gives him another back door to scurry out of .
I don't think so. Manny's stock just went up. The whole world knows he got robbed and he took it with class. I think he just gained a lot more fans after that fight, and those fans would be willing to pay to watch him again. Pacquiao can skip a Bradley rematch, no one wants to see that again.
He can say no to a 0% PPV Mayweather matchup.
I think he should fight Marquez in Mexico next then call it a night. Retire.
If I remember, Mayweather's problems is not the needle anymore but the 0% on the PPV excuse. I wonder what he's trying to imply with that? Is it maybe just maybe he's hoping Pacquiao won't accept the 0%? Hmmmm...... I wonder, LOL....

Whatever needles Mayweather wants is just fine with him. Mayweather just needs to be convinced his health will be ok, he will still see his family after the fight.
Manny seems make alot of excuses just to stay away from needles.
Well before you do that, you gotta convince Manny that needles aren't very scary..

Should be no problem for Mayweather, then. Just gotta convince him his health will be just fine.

Manny should just step in with him Id like to see Pac get totally outclassed , how many times Pac been stopped I forget ?

I don't think you can say because a fighter runs alot and doesn't get hit, that he has a good chin.
But he gets hit alot, sure not as much as everyone else, but still some bombs landed on him and he shrugs them off like nothing AND he keeps his composure through it all, doesn't get discouraged, just gets right back to work.
I'd like to see how Pac would fare taking the bombs Mosley landed on Floyd while taking OSDT.
I'd like to see that too. Then after that I'd like to see how Mayweather takes the shot Pacquiao gave Hatton.
