NO OFFENSE JUST WONDERING....why are British fighters so Chinny?

Hatton has generally shown a good chin, although recently he has look a bit suspect. Watch his older fights, he had a solid beard. Calzaghe also has a very good chin, the shot from B Hop was more to do with balance than power, he caught Joe perfectly off balance, and stepped into him to dump him down.

Haye, Khan, Bruno all have weak chins though.

Lennox Lewis has an underrated chin imo.

Like I said if I offend anyone right now I am sorry, that is not my intention. I am just wondering?

Haye---Chinny
Hatton---Hurt numerous times, KTFO by Mayweather
CalSlappy---Knocked down by Bhop, not known for his power
Khan--- Dont even get me started

why is this? training? nutrition? I dont get it

Hatton just gets hit a lot, which is even more testament to his tough chin.

Calzaghe has a very tough chin and most know and accept this. You clearly haven't seen many of his fights. Power has nothing to do with chin.

I think you need to watch more boxing.

I meant Bhop isn't known for his power. I do watch alot of boxing and I would say from that list Cal has the best chin. BUT SINCE I HAVE WATCHED ALOT OF HIS fights IMO it looks a little suspect.

Hatton is not chinny in anyway. He was kfto only once and that's by no.1 p4p.. if Hatton is chinny then every boxer who was ktfo'd are chinny. that's you rationalization. I only agree with Khan.

No hurt feelings man but you have a dumb knowledge.

How, what fights lead you to conclude this?

Calzaghe has a very good chin, Hatton can take a solid punch, Haye is suspect, Khan's chin is made of glass.

I don't think a boxer's nationality has anything to do with his chin.

Byron Mitchell
AT TIMES with Kessler he just looked weird

I know, like I said I dont mean to offend anyone, IF I DO I'm SORRY!
But it just came to me. Bruno, Lennox looked suspect to me way to often, Haye, Khan..................so on and so forth

That's bull****, kid.

When I was in the pro game they used to soak my chin in pickled onions just to weaken it.

All part of the sport in the UK, son.
