I think the punishment he absorbed in the early rounds of the Taylor fight made his chin weaker. He took some bombs from Pascal in that fight and smiled.
The thing is Pascall isn't a big puncher either. he is just a fast guy with stamina. Ffs Winky Wright walked Jermaine taylor down.
people get carried away with fighters getting hurt..he got hit by a pro boxer with a quick pecise shot..anyone would get hurt..he are all humans..thats why god gave us defense...
On the 5th day god created Carl Froch and the 6th day god created defense. So I guess Carl Froch is sol~
What should I have expected for you, the man who jumps from one British fighter to the next. Are you going to tell me that Direll didn't land more in every round and throw more as well?
You're right. Dirrell's 4 jabs a round mustve caught up to Carl eventually.
Margarito had a granite chin, Mosley has a granite chin, Mercer, Ibeabuchi and Tua had a granite chin, Vitali has a granite chin, Hopkins has a granite chin, but what I have seen from Froch in his not two fights is far from solid oak, and resembles particle board. I mean Taylor while he has respectable power is not a big puncher and he dropped Froch with one shot whereas Pavlik who gets hurt regularly was dropped with about 15. Also last night Direll who is far from a guy with power stunned Froch in the 10th and had him on ***** street in the 11th. I can give him a pass for Taylor, but guys with chins should not have to be cautious of Dirells power and get badly hurt. Trust me on this, Froch will lose by stoppage at least one time in this tournament.
I think he has a granite chin considering how much he gets hit. The guys you listed seem to get hit less than Froch

Hopkins chin is overrated. It is good but it's his deference, look at his last 8 fights he has not been hit with one hard flush punch to the head.
If Hopkins had a granite chin, that bum Mercado wouldn't have dropped him twice.
