    Bernard Hopkins Chin

    Bernard Hopkins has never been KO’d in this whole career. I was wondering if this is because he has as solid chin or that his fighting style makes it extremely hard to hit him hence frustrating his opponents. Hopkins has been only down twice in his whole career and that was to Segundo Mercado. RJJ, Calzaghe, Oscar,Tito, Winky, Taylor,Tarver all couldn’t knock him down.

      Yeah for sure, total rock of a chin. Toney-like.

        Hopkins never really gets hit flush..he is a uncomfortable fighter so it'll be hard to kno if he has a good chin...

            He has a solid chin...and his style makes it hard to catch him very well

                His does make it very uncomfortable for fighters to hit him, but he can also take big shots very well.

                    Yeah you are definately right it is both. Like I said, Toney style. If I had to lean towards one over the other I would just say his style because he so rarely gets hit. It is impossible to know how durable his chin is given that he is so difficult to catch on a consistent basis.
