    Don't you mean until Floyd tests his chin? JMM's chin cost him more in his career than Floyd's ever has. Had JMM stayed on his feet he would have won, I thought he won more rounds and people always say "The Knockdowns made the difference" so his chin is way more suspect based on past performances.

        i doubt it! altho didnt zab knock him down but it wasnt counted? even when he got the lucky win against castillo, he never really took clean shots to the chin that i can think of right now. probably that and hatton caught him with a nice left that made him lose his balance, apart from that i cant think of any1 thats really tested his chin.

          If anything the chop chop shot shown he has a good chin, even though he retreated he took the punch well... a lot of fighters would have gone down on that. He took pretty much everything Judah gave to him and took in front of him, also I recall him taking a decent punch in early rounds against Corrales even though he put on a great performance against him (R.I.P), so I would say from that, he has proved to at least have a descent chin... as in a pretty good one... it is enough to prove he hasn't got a glass chin anyway.

            as stated floyd has at the very least proven to have an above average chin. couple that with his ability to avoid damage altogether and his ring smarts, i dont see anyone ever stopping him. just my opinion. not sayign he couldnt lose a decision eventually but i dont see him getting knocked out. he is not a pure speed fighter like roy. if and when floyd's speed goes( assuming he's still fighting) he wont go out like jones did. way more skill than roy. he is much more like hopkins than like roy.

              Floyds chin is solid, every shot he's taken he's dealt with.

              Can't say its super strong because it isn't proven because his defense is awesome and obvious can't say he has a weak chin because he's faced the best and came through.

                  Zab stepped on floyd's foot, that's how he fell. see Larrysmith's sig

                    didnt he get hurt a lil by zab judah in teh beginning rounds. judah hit him hard and floyd backed away to the ropes defensively. not really sure but thats what i remember.
