    But what about fighters that get wobbled and stunned but hardly ever go down?..Do you consider those fighters to have weak chins? Miguel Cotto is the example I can think of right now...I'm sure there tons more.
    that's called a getting caught by a good punch

      Some say Julian Jackson was a bit suspect around the chin... hmmm dunno, Who cares though when you haven KO power like this. (love the hand gesture he sometimes uses when he drops someone) .. I remember the Bomber Graham fight like yesterday, Nasty !

        RJJ always had a weak chin, but if you can't hit him you are done anyway. He amassed over 50 victories with a glass jaw; he relied on his speed and agility to dominate other lesser boxers. Khan can beat almost anyone he wants to as long as he is patient and uses good defense. He looked really composed and used space and his height advantage extremely effectively. I'm sure Roach could devise a plan for Prescott too as khan looks to be much more naturally gifted than Prescott- Roach knows this
        lesser boxers?

        roy made them look like lesser boxers

            The couple of times he got hit flush, he got KO'd; Johnson, Tarver.

            If you want even more proof, play one of the older Fight Nights and RJJ gets KO'd whenever he gets tagged in the video game....obviously someone else doesn't think his chin is too good either


            Proof by video game. Now I've heard it all.

                Dunno about that,that uppercut looked far worse than the forearm smash.

                    nah, that was a love tap, roy did'nt dig through, he tapped and came back, everytime calzaghe actually gets hit he goes down, notice that?
