    How good is Hopkins chin?

    How would you rate Hopkins chin? Do you rate Hopkins' chin as highly as most do? He's no Oliver McCall but he can definitely take a punch better than most.

      I think it's obviously very good I mean if he's 46 and eating bombs that says something.

                He's can take shots quite well. Hopkins is extremely hard to catch flush though, he rolls with shots well.

                  Hopkins has never been knocked out and is 46, Margarito has been knocked out twice by the age of 32-33. He couldn't take a WW's hardest shots. Hopkins took a Light Heavy weights bombs, got hurt, but took them.

                  IMO, Hopkins surpassed any one from 2000-2010, in the chin department, judging by his last two fights+his whole career.

                    I think it's decent but not really tested in a normal sense. He is defense oriented so he does not have to test his chin too often.

                    It has not been tested (being hit hard on chin OFTEN) so the quantity is really unknown.
