You think fighters are chinny based on their nationality?

Lummox's chin wasn't really that bad. He had a couple of bad spills against McCall and Rahman, but took some good shots otherwise, and faced a ton of big or semi-big punchers.

I wouldn't say Hatton is chinny either. He was tired and was getting his ass kicked and taking clean shots from Mayweather, and ran into a perfect shot.

I agree on everyone but Hatton, I think its a bit of a stretch to call him 'chinny', his style does after all rely on taking shots to land shots and he's been stopped once ever. I'm not completely sure its fair to call Lewis chinny either. Benn was quite chinny though, yes.

Not at all, I just think that this current generation has ended up chinny.
I forgot to mention Audley Harrison

I'd replace Hatton and put Frank Bruno on the list.

I love Hatton but he gets shaken up by shots from average punchers. And when he gets hit once he's stunned for a bit so he gets hit a few more times. I guess when you look at it like that you can charecterize him as chinny.

To tell you the truth and I love British boxing and their fighters, but a lot of UK fighters have been kind of chinny.

Whatever else you want to call Hatton you can forget chinny. Sure he was stopped by Mayweather, but that was in the tenth round after three straight rounds of running into punches. And Hatton would not have quit.

I think that would be fair. I used to love Bruno though. His fight with Lennox is quite heartbreaking really. He looked like he was doing good, maybe even winning, until it emerged that Lennox hadn't even put himself into second gear yet. Poor old Frank.
