Does Floyd Have A Great Chin?

[cixthree]

But lets be real here. Any fighter/person that gets hit Flush will bow down. We are human. Floyd has a good chin tho, but it's more the state of mind to weather it when your hurt. He seems to relax and gain his whits better than most.

Exactly.
If you can see it coming, a lot of times you can take it.

That guy Roy Jones can't recover after he gets hurt.
He just wobbles everywhere.

[MANGLER]

Never been hit hard enuf for us to know.

He obviously has a good chin, but it's almost impossible to tell if he has a great one, since his defense is superb.

i wouldn't call it a great chin beacause he doesn't take punishment like that but he can take punch if he has to

[HaglerSteelChin]

I think his fighting style is indicative of how confident he is with his chin. In the lower weights as 130 and 135 he actually was willing to go toe to toe and trade punches to the anger of Roger mayweather at times. At WW he is more cautious as he feels he has a better chance of getting hurt. He dosent have a Haglersteelchin ala Hagler vs Mugabi possibly one of the most brutal middleweight fights in the 30 years; but he has a strong chin. I rate PBF to have a above average chin. But alot has to do with the fact that he dosent get hit with clean shots and partially blocks many of them.

I think the Pac fight will be the ultimate test as he will get harder than possibly ever before. So i expect PBF to use methods to make pac get less leverage from his legs which give him power. The early rounds against pac are key, when the fighter assimilates to the punch he than fight on if he dosent its over quick ala Pac vs Ricky Hatton.

was only down once do to hand pain.... even though Zab put him down.

that Zab "knockdown" wasn't because Mayweather doesn't have a chin it was a combination of being off balance and zab stepping on his foot although the punch did land.

Lets not get carried away here...he has one of the best chins in boxing

[Cash Cow]

He's never fought anyone his size? So Oscar de la Hoya wasn't his size?

if he goes back to every Mayweather fight since he moved up to 135lbs, he would see that Mayweather has been outweighed by every opponent on the night of the fight.

Floyd can easily outbox Pac on the inside

[boxingfan4life]

well he did take some hard shots from demarcus coley and turned out okay. and the knocked down from zab seemed to me that he was just caught off balance rather than being hurt. we'll see on the 13th of march cause pac showed against cotto that he can hit at welterweight
