Good Defence vs Good Chin

[BrooklynBomber]

BTW about Tua's unbreakable chin. Tell that to Felix Savon. He might disagree.

Did everyone just forget FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR!?

James Toney has been hit many times on his chin by hard punchers. Michael Nunn and Vassiliy Jirov both hit him on his chin and he just kept on going. I remember in the second McCallum fight, Mike hit him with a really good shot on the chin in the middle rounds and he didn't even flinch.

James Toney indeed has a very good chin plus a very good defense.
Even though I dont like him, he still got some ass kicking skills.

Tua has been hit plenty of times with clean shots, whoever said that he hasn't is a moron, the guy that said about Felix Savon is a moron too. Tua was about 18 years old when Savon did that, it counts for absolutely nothing.

most fighters with good defenses have good chins, anyway. everybody gets hit with a good shot eventually. no exceptions. ali, mayweather, whitaker, pep, tunney, wright, or whoever, they all get hit flush and they have good whiskers anyway.

there are some fighters that have good defense but poor chins like roy jones, lennox lewis, miguel cotto, joe louis, thomas hearns, wlad, zab judah, and floyd patterson to name a few.

but most fighters with good defense have good chins also, adding more difficulty to defeating them.

a good defence goes a long way rather a good chin, you may have a good chin but if it gets hit a lot of times for 12 rounds you know u'l go down eventually

[LHWchamp5]

Good chin is a good defence, even if you do get caught clean, it always helps to have a good chin, after all you don't want to go down' do you???

Jeff Lacy has a good chin. He can go 10-11 rounds of pure being hit in the face without getting wobbley legs.

Samuel Peter has terrible defensive skills and has never been knocked down so I imagine he has a strong chin. Then again he has no neck, his head looks like it just sits on his shoulders.
