    Serious Question: Has Floyds jaw ever been tested by any of his 42 opponents?

    I'm been serious,
    I can't remember Floyd ever getting hit hard enough
    to test his jaw if is glass or not...
    I know it has to do with his speed, like him or not
    can't deny he is too fast to get a clean shot of.
    I know Mosley stun him when they fought but
    can't tell from one shot if the jaw is weak...
    Can Floyd absorb a hard shot to the jaw?

      After surviving those 2 Mosley bombs, it is confirmed his chin is not glass.

        Come on.

        Mosley hit him flush on the chin and he was fine.

        Chop chop hit him and he was fine.

        Floyd has a good chin. People think just because he has amazing defense that he can't take a punch.

          Contrary to what people want to believe Mayweather does get hit on the chin on a constant fight to fight basis, He just doesn't get hit enough flush to make any major damage, We got this sort of threads 2-3 months before he fought Hatton.

              MOST shots that do touch Floyd's chin are rolled with or slightly deflected, which takes a lot of power off of them. He did take two bombs from Mosley though and remained up right. Those types of shots are what knock fighters cold.

                Hatton caught him very early on in either Round 1 or 2 and it was his athleticism that kept him from falling.

                  Well I won't say he was 'fine', he was momentarily stunned by the punch but was able to recover pretty quickly.

                    Hatton barely grazed him with that shot. It was more their feet got tangled up(Still would have been ruled a knockdown had he not caught himself though).
