How good is Donaire's chin?

[Los Zetas]

So how good is it? Only seen one of his fights which was VS Darchinyan when I thought he was good, but he wasn't so stopped.

Much much better than Rigo! Never been knockdown!

Good enough. Once a big puncher with speed and skill catches him clean, we'll see. Donaire is bigger than Rigo but Rigo should he land, that'll tell us a bit about his chin. Donaire is usually much bigger than people so it's hard to say. Good enough is all I got...and all you need if no one can test it

Donaire has a great chin. Darchinyan was and is good and a great puncher. That did not change because Donaire KOed him. Donaire hit him with a perfect bomb of a left hook. Donaire is a guy that comes to fight. He has defeated and KOed many hard hitting champions and top contenders and he is the best 122 pounder in the world and in my opinion the best pfp. fighter in the world. As far as I know he has never been knocked down as a pro.

Donaire seems to mark up but his chin has been steady , Nishioka who is a pretty good puncher landed some big shots that Donaire walked through.

Rigondeaux is a different type puncher his power is based more on speed and timing , his body punching is dangerous also

[Doctor_Tenma]

He took flush shots from Nishioka who may very well be a better or as good of a puncher as Rigondeaux, so he's got a damn good chin.

A-side meth good.

This is a misconception.

Nonito is not really that big, if you want to see a big 122 guy look at Marroquin or Mathebula.

Nonito only looks big because people have that one fight where he toyed with that small Russian guy and dropped him at will. Nonito has some of the skinniest frail bones in boxing, super thin wrists and ankles.


I think he caps off at 126 pounds, if he tries to move up higher than that he won't be able to take a punch those guys at 130 are pretty big as well as 135.

He took some shots from Nishioka well. There's no reason to suspect he has a less than good chin.

Haven't seen him badly hurt.
