why do people say calzaghe has an "iron" chin

[potatoes]

he may have recovering ability and adaptability..but his chin definitly isnt iron....if you can hit it he will fall................his only 2 trips to america and top comp prove that

Flash knockdowns have nothing to do with the chin.

Just because you can avoid punches and accumulate alot of fights without being knocked down doesn't mean you have an iron chin, in Bernard Hopkins or Floyd Mayweathers case.

Are you kidding me?? Floyd Mayweather probably has the best chin in the game. Hopkins has a great one too.

Antonio Margarito's chin is a myth because he makes guys backpedal all ngiht and he never gets backed up because he fights smaller guys.

cause most people on here are fanatical morons with calzaghe tattoos on their faces.

What does that make you then? lol

To be honest I think Daggum is the poster most likely to have a calzaghe tatto, the guy is Obsessed and it's not healthy.

Calzaghe ate some monster uppercuts when he fought Kessler. He's not Chuvalo or Hagler, but his chin hasn't let him down yet.

Just to add to this debate, the only punches that have ever put Calzaghe down have been punches he didn't see coming. Either when he has been punching wildly himself or about to clinch. Obviously in these situations your balance is not as good as it can be and you are not in a stable position to take a punch.

If you see Calzaghe's fights over the last 10 years he has been hit flush with some massive shots and never really looked troubled.

He had never been floored once amateur or pro until the Mitchell fight.

a fighter can go down for alot of reasons - zaghes first 2 KD's were partially down to poor balance and big punches, however his KD vs hopkins was a push and the one vs RJ was a blatant forearm.

Really, a push?

actually mate that little vid youve got des show it quite wel, hopkins lands the punch and joe retreats slightly, hopkins then puts his weigh on him and joe goes down.

[sylvestersweet]

He's got an OK chin.
He's been down too many times for people to say his chin is iron. And I've never seen him in the ring with huge punchers.
If he ever fights Glen Johnson, he may get KOed.

Has anyone said Joe has an iron chin?


Why make a thread based on a blatent exaggeration?

yes when joe fans descibe him..they say he has an iron chin
