Just because you get knocked down it doesn't mean your chinless!

I agree with the Diego statement. My boy gets dropped but he always gets up and he never looks really stunned when he does get dropped.

He recovers very quick.

there is a difference too.

some fighters have weak chins but faster recovery diego is one of those guys he can gain his equilibrium faster then most people thats why he aint wobbling around most of the time.

Fernando vargas is another one who can regain and recover.

Going down doesnt mean your chinless, but going down 5 times in a fight does.

Corrales has a poor chin, mang.
When he gets knocked down, he usually gets dropped at least once more that round, aka he has a poor chin.
And Castillo flat laid him out.

I think this additude that if you get floored or have any number higher than zero in your loss column means you have been exposed and suck is Indicative of todays throwaway instant results mentality..

Agree, completely. Big difference say between Duran and Wlad who have both been laid out. Or how about between Toney and Wlad? My two cents...

As soon as I read the topic on this thread Felix "Tito" Trinidad came to mind.

It's also indicative that the best fights aren't made IMO. In yesteryears, a loss doesn't necessarily mean an end to one's career or earning potential. Today, a no loss record is a major chip at the bargaining table.

The key to being a successful boxer (in terms of belts and record), is not getting hit.

The key to combining a successful career in terms of belts and records with popularity and legacy is how quickly you can recover after being hit.

Chavez used to get hit a lot. I guess its not that simple.
