ATG Chin means you never been Knocked Down or Knocked Out.
Look at Vitali Klitschko, thats him taking shots from HEAVYWEIGHTS almost 2x size of Pac........
Thats a real Chin.
Theres very few boxers that have a SOLID ATG Chin, and Pac is nowhere near that level.
and I didnt realize Margarito was a 1 punch knock out artist, I mustve imagined he was a pressure fighter who owned you over time then finished you.
You cant have ATG Chin when you get dropped or KO'd in your career.
ATG stands for All time Great
and JMM chin is even worse than Pacmans
Holyfield has been down multiple times and is regarded as having one of the best chins in boxing history. Punch resistance isn't just about staying on your feet, it's about surviving the battle. Anyone can get knocked down, be it a flash knockdown or a balance issue. That doesn't classify punch resistance. I don't agree with your definition of 'ATG Chin' plenty of fighters who have great chins have hit the canvas, De La Hoya, Mosley, Margarito, LaMotta, Robinson. I could go on all day.
Again, having a great chin is not just about not getting knocked down, it's about being able to take the punishment over the full 12 rounds. Holyfield has been hurt and down but he has been in with some of the hardest punchers in history, and none of them could put him down for good.
Plenty of guys with granite chins have been hurt and points in their career, it's impossible not to.
Even though I don't like the match up. This fight makes sense for Floyd. Why fight Canelo now when he can fight him in September? That way he fights both of them. Some people want to see him fight Guerrero and believe he is more accomplished. Some people want to see him fight Canelo because he is more dangerous. Two birds with one stone. Fighting Guerrero first allows Canelo to gain some merit and experience fighting on the undercard. That way when the fight comes around, no one can have any argument towards Canelo being picked as an opponent.
From a fan perspective, I'd like to see the Canelo fight right away. He is a much bigger threat than Guerrero and his style matches up favorably to Floyd's. I find that fight a hard one to predict.
Guerrero has a solid body of work below the 147lb division, he has good victories over Casamayor, Escobedo and Katsidis. Once he moved up, he beat the Welterweight gate keeper, Andre Berto. Berto must be ranked in and around the top 5 welterweights in the division, has Canelo had a victory over a top 5 154lb fighter? His best win in the division is probably Cintron. In terms of accomplishments, Guerrero has climbed the divisions and holds a good victory over a solid welterweight fighter. Canelo has yet to face a solid light-middleweight fighter.
Not that there's anything wrong with that at this stage in his career, he's only what, 22? But in terms of securing the ultimate fight in boxing, he is not very well deserving. Despite this, as a fan, it is a fight I would love to see.
