    A quick word on chins....

    I am not and do not intend to represent myself as a boxing expert. However, on this site, when posters discuss chins they rely on almost exclusively knockdowns and knockouts. While these can be an indication of the strength of a fighter's chin, it is my belief that a fighter's ability to be effective and agressive in the face of getting hit is a much stronger indicator.

            and may i add that tito's ko loss to bernard was more due to exhaustion and accumulation. he could've gotten up if he wanted to but he was just either too tired and worn down or the fight was no longer in him.

                Most of the posters here are ******. If a person has been Knocked down at any point or anytime in their career they are "chinny".

                  See that's why Oliver McCall never comes up in these discussions.
                  The man is chinful.

                    i dont get why people say Judah is packing glass maybe he does not have a great chin but ,he has been TKO twice one by Cotto accumulation effect and he was hurt against Tzyu but we all know how hard Tszyu hits and Cotto has a pretty good dig to

                    apart from that he has not been Koed by a none puncher or stopped for that matter Badly hurt him once in the fight but he did not go down fromwhat i recall and he was there at the 12th round and it was close although i know Baldy deserved the win
