      The fact that He hasn't fought any punchers helps a lot.

        He hasn't fought anyone good enough to test his chin.

          Sparring and training with bigger guys and talented guys with Pacquiao also helps improve the chin greatly. You take shots from heavy hitters on the regular, by fight night you're used to it. He was sparring bums in the UK before Roach.

          His chin will never be "fixed" but it has improved a lot. Also he tucks his chin in very nicely and keeps his gaurd up in a near perfect position.

              He was getting hurt by non-punchers at 135. His chin is still poor, but I think it has improved.

                  Bring on some big punchers and back up the talk.

                  Whack Prescott and Maidana and then I'll think something!

                    No, it was at 135.

                    I think it has definitely improved, but to be honest he hasn't fought anyone who has truly tested it yet. At 135 he was getting dropped by feather fisted guys. His chin will never be great, but I think the move up has helped quite a bit.
