    Well, the Hatton shot just made him lose balance, he wasn't hurt by it, yeah in the Castillo fight he wasn't particularly hurt... and the Zab Judah KD wasn't counted, but that was apparently due to Judah standing on Floyd's foot when he hit him... obviously making him go off balance and go back after his foot was released.

    I don't know if that is definite, but I saw a picture on here of it and it did look like it, its as larrysmith's avatar... so maybe that is the reason for the referee to claim it as no KD... if Judah felt it should have been counted he would have probably complained there and then to be honest.

    If you watch the Corley fight there, he took a very good shot... that would have knocked quite a few guys down, obviously Floyd retreated but that's just being smart at the end of the day... he actually dealt with the situation well and went on to hurt Corley moments after.

    Its kinda like Floyd's power, I mean... he aint the biggest puncher out there that's obvious... but he can hit pretty hard when hes in the position to do it or in the position where he has to.

      Yeah, but once again... it was a good punch, some guys would have gone down from that... nothing wrong with retreating when hurt, its being smart... when you think about it... again he dealt with the situation well... like he has done so far to date when being caught... I mean who knows what happens in the future but so far when he has been caught he has dealt with it.

        No, Floyd doesn't have Wladimir Klitschko's chin. His chin is solid.

          Where did Mayweather "get on his bike" against Corley? Can you answer that question please? Mayweather stood flat footed and toe to the whole fight. You can't tell the truth about a fight if your life depended on it. Just like the "Lewis butted Vitali" lie. Your agenda is crystal clear.

            He has taken a few flush shots and taken them well I might add. While people look for *****s in his armor remember this. The term sweet science is defined by hitting while not being hit. Name another fighter that you have to dig around just to find one good punch. The answer is none so all you boxing finatics need to tighten up your ATG lists.

              He got hit flush against a non weight drained Oscar, he also got hit flush against castillo and Judah, i never saw him hurt though. Hes far from a glass jaw but i cant say he has a granite chin either.

                floyd's chin is good until proven wrong. floyd's rib might be worst than his jaw tho.

                  Well like I mentioned earlier he's so good defensively he doesnt get hit by much so I think those saying how awesome his chin is have to remember the same was said about RJJ who went down once in his first 15 years as a pro. When Roy slowed his chin became a liabilty I'm just wondering if Floyd will be the same but I guess if JMM catches him solid we'll see I rather Floyd test his whiskers against an elite ww though.

                    He hasn't sown anything to say he has a weak chin.

                    It's solid IMO.

                      he has shown to have a very decent chin..and the mental toughness and intelligence to deal with it when he has gotten wobbled in the past..but to be honest i do not see marquez testing his chin at all
