Can we settle this once and for all please. NASEEM HAMED had a great chin

[Reggie Miller]

First of all, I'm no huge Naz fan by any stretch.. He had flaws but overall was a good fighter who is responsible for interest in the lower weights from the public, Pacquiao, Morales and Manny Steward have all said this aswell.

Onto Naz's chin..

Most people who don't know anything about boxing or hate UK fighters will say Naz had a weak chin because he got knocked down so much. Thats false.

Naz was knocked down so much because of his awkward style and movements in the ring, he was constantly off balance when throwing and receiving punches.. He was admired for throwing punches from all angles, but that was also his downfall since he was also off balance alot of the time.

He improved the style a little in the Barrera fight, even though he got sonned by Barrera, how could a man with a weak chin take the kinds of shots Barrera dished out to him for 12 rounds and not go down? Even Barrera said he tried hard to stop Naz, but he couldn't break him.

Answers on a postcard.
Thank you for your time.

Not great but solid. He's been genuinely hurt on many occassions and floored a few times as well. But his chin held up. He did well to recover from that Alicea knockdown because I truly believe he was seriously hurt.

ye naz had a decent chin, his balance was the main problem.....

What do you mean "main problem"? He's one of the greatest fighters of his generation. That's like saying Tom Brady's main problem is his lack of speed.
