Rate These Fighters Chins

[dde91]

i agree with you, i rated hops chin above gatti too, but you have to take into account gatti had no defence while hops had good D

nonetheless, b-hops chin is still better

Ya, true, Gatti has no defense, but some are making it seem like i said gatti's chin is a 5, i said roun 7-8 which is a pretty good chin, not great or but good.

delahoya should be a 10.0!!!! Bi*ched slapped for 8 rds. by a 130 lbs fighter, without winning a single round, and getting her *ss whipped while making the "golden one" to QUIT????? 10.0...

So Gatti has a better chin because he was knocked down by combinations of harder punches because of his style?

What I was trying to say is, Gatti hasn't been knocked down that much compared to how many hits to the head he taked. Look at him, he doesn't keep his chin down to lesser the force of the blows, he gets hit by power shot, and keeps going. Get what I mean? I mean if you take another fighter, and just have him be getting hard hits to the face and jaw with his chin up, I doubt they will be able to endure it like Gatti can, and Gatti fights like that.

Remember we are talking about a physical attribute, chin, that cannot always be accurately measured by the # of times a man went down.

If B-Hop fought like Gatti, soaked up punches like Gatti, would he have gone down as much or more? Its impossible to say. But you have to understand that Gatti probably got hit more in one fight than Hopkins has for his entire ****ing career. And thats barely an exageration.

That's why it is very hard to score chins because styles in boxing are so diverse. At best you can compare sluggers to sluggers, and boxers to boxers.

Did Roy Jones always have a weak chin, or did he become more fragile because of weight issues? We'll never know...he was too fast, too good to ever have his chin seriously tested in his prime.

Then Ricardo Mayorga's chin is just as good as Gatti's if you put it that way. he got hit tons of times in a fight by hayemakers.
