Robinson was not a power fighter at all, and Ward was really only known for his body shot to be overly powerful.
A guy with a great chin does not become the 13th KO (it was a brutal one by the way) out of 46 wins against Baldomir, nor does he get brutally KO'd by Alfonso Gomez, who is criticized for a lack of power.
Gatti's chin at the stage of his career after Floyd was terrible. Before Floyd it wasn't great, but it wasn't horrible. I guess the question is whether it was gone before Floyd fought him, or whether the Mayweather bout took so much out of him that he couldn't effectively take a punch anymore.
