GGG, Canelo, Mayweather all have elite chins

Chris Eubank Senior, James Toney. Chris Euabnk was only knocked down twice in his career, and was never stopped 'He was never knocked out in his entire career'.

My argument is that with the punishment GGG takes, the fact he hasn't gone down amazes me. He literally eats punches, it baffles me. He is visibly hurt a few times but he recovers. I was only pointing out that he may have a better chin then Canelo and Mayweather because we have never seen Canelo or Mayweather be consistently hit flush the way GGG has. Almost every fight I see GGG get tattoo'd a handful of times win or lose. His defense isn't the best, his jab keeps people at bay though. What you gotta get with Golovkin is that he never overcommits or loses himself on the offense, he's always got an eye on what's coming back, so even though he does get hit he's generally braced for it. As they always say it's the ones you don't see coming that really do the damage. Always think of Mayorga leaving his chin out for Tito when we talk chins, if you know its coming you can take it. Conversely dudes like Khan. Pure china, but if you watch his fights you see him take plenty of solid shots that don't even rock him, the ones that KO him happen when he's busy trying to string some flurry or combo together and forgets to watch the incoming. Way I see it the 'chin' myth is 80% bullchit, there is varation, of course, but the guys with 'Chins of Granite' are basically the ones who never, ever, forget that the opponent can punch too.

Boxing’s biggest mystery exactly how great is Floyd’s chin I’d rate it 8 out of 10. Could be higher if it was tested more The man never went down even from perfect shots landed by hard hitters like Mosley and Maidana But the shots maidana landed on floyd Khan didn't go down from? I doubt maidana landed perfectly on floyd whereby maidana thought to himself if I'd landed that on anyone else they'd have gone down. Floyd s chin like rjj for all we know

I think floyd has a good chin but idk about great, I think his mental toughness is other worldly so he doesnt break down after taking a big shot. Let's imagine like a juan Manuel marquez that doesnt go down lol Canelo obviously has a GREAT chin, hes taken flush shots from angulo, lara, golovkin, Jacob's and even a couple from kovalev. Gggs chin has to be great lol theres times when he exclusively blocks punches with his face. I honestly dont think he has a choice sometimes

Add in Mosley and DLH

Nobody is comfortable taking big shots from real punchers, Id say GGG has a hell of solid chin , the composure under pressure is more about Floyd and Canelo being better fighters , its all just splitting hairs. Exactly this! Their composure is key to how they take and recover from shots. Neither Canelo or Floyd panic when they are in trouble. Fighters like that are a rare breed.

But did u see his last fight? He obviously declining.My argument is that with the punishment GGG takes, the fact he hasn't gone down amazes me. He literally eats punches, it baffles me.

You can only have elite chin if you get hit a lot and don't go down or show signs of being hurt. Floyd don't get hit but when he has been he's looked vulnerable. I doubt any hard punchers has claimed best punch they ever threw and landed was on floyd

ggg is not comfortable taking shots when he is under pressure. You can tell from his reaction. There were times where I thought that he could be stopped in the canelo 2 and derevyanchenko fights. Canelo and mayweather on the other hand are a lot more composed even when taking shots under pressure.

Not at all, do you know how many CLEAN punches he eats? He literally blocks them with his face at time...he has a great chin tbh. He gets hit A LOT. Canelo and Mayweather also have elite chins and have been hit flush, but they DO NOT absorb punishment the way GGG does. He will take 3 to land a big one, np. He's also HUGE on fight night at middleweight, probably belongs at 168. But did u see his last fight? He obviously declining.

He's gotten bigger over the years as every guy does but to say he is huge is a gross overstatement. Don't know how much he rehydrates to now but he consistently weighed around 170 back in his early thirties, even below 170 when he was younger. Compare that with guys at 154 (some of whom have moved up, including Canelo) who were weighing more than 170 on fight night when they were much younger.

Too bad GGG chin starting to get shakyNot at all, do you know how many CLEAN punches he eats? He literally blocks them with his face at time...he has a great chin tbh. He gets hit A LOT.

I would agree with that, super chins all 3 of them both ggg and canelo landed some great shots on each other and a small readjustment was all i saw now and then floyd took less hard shots as with his style but the ones he took he recovered well as for all time great chins, who the feck knows

They have great chins for sure. The best chins ever? Do you know how good the chin of every boxer in history was? No you don't. So why make a statement like best ever when you don't know and nobody on here knows? just say they have great chins and stop there. By the way I think everyone reading this thread already knew these three great famous boxers have great chins. Are their chins better than Hagler who was never knocked down or even staggered in his long career and the many hard punchers he fought? I don't think so. Must you cry on your replies ?

Lol some of the experts in this thread.

Danny garcia has a elite chin parker too imo. Rungvisai , inoue and donaire also seem to have solid chins. Another shout is tyson fury or atleast he seems to have elite mental power

Canelo and mayweather on the other hand are a lot more composed even when taking shots under pressure. I think G takes head shots well, its the body shots he isn't comfortable with. He visibly winces and retreats when he gets hit to the body whereas he is able to grit and bare it and keep marching forward when hit to the head. He was ready to go by the sixth in GGG v Canelo 2 but I knew he would be able to recover because Canelo's stamina is dog poo. I knew he wasn't gonna be able to capatilise and get G out of there.

They're elite chins for sure. Floyd and Canelo have great defense too which makes hurting and stopping them even more complicated. I don't know about best chin evers, but they're elite for sure.
