    chin for me. the punches that hurt the m ost are the ones you don't see. a granite chin would hopefully lessen the damage from that type of blow.

      granite chin I think.

      Some fights you can't win on power, and u can always work on winning on points, but if u can't take a hit you're done for either way

        I'd definitely rather have a granite chin.

            Paulie malinaggi has a granite chin. How far did that get him against broner? If Mainsggi had 1punch ko power he would have won that fight

              Yeah, but then Paulie would have both. If Malignaggi had even respectable power, he probably would've beaten Broner.

                the TS was talking about street fights?
                unless you're a tiny little dude, you can stretch somebody if you hit them in the right spot and when they're moving in the right direction.



                if you're looking to have a successful boxing career, you're better off with a great chin and little power than a big punch and a bad chin.

                why do you guys always assume that the guy with a good chin is going to be taking punches? we never said the hard hitter was faster, a better boxer, etc. we only said that he has a huge punch and no chin.
                I think you're trying to add extra conditions onto what the core argument is to favor your point.

                It's a simple matter of A versus B.

                He's not saying, B but you can still have the power of A if you catch them with the right angle.

                If he was I could take your argument and put it in my favor as well and say:

                Just because he has one punch KO power it doesn't mean he has a bad chin.

                But to say that would be pretty boring. That's why we're choosing one or the other here.

                    I got hand speed, always did. So give me 1 punch KO power and I will beat you to the punch and KO you lol.

                    Granite chin dudes are punching bags. Unless we're talking about Froch, Kessler, Malignaggi.
