    How would you rate Maidana's Chin?

    His punch resistance is okay to me. Okay chin, average at taking it to the body.

      Pretty solid chin,, but has shown some wear and tear on it in the lopez and karrass fights..

      He seems to wobble or cringe when hit with a flush shot, and saw him buckle a couple of times.. Still a solid chin, but the ring wars are slowly catching up to him

        Good chin, good recovery. He gets hurt, because his fighting style tends to get him hit perfectly on the chin and face.

        I wouldn't use examples of him getting wobbled against him.

          I would say he has a pretty good chin, nothing noteworthy. Morales hurt him, that's Erik out of his natural weight class, Alexander stunned him a few times, Ortiz hurt him as well (although Ortiz can punch which shouldn't count), Lopez stunned him. He recovers pretty well, I don't think his chin is much of an issue unless he's in there against a very accurate puncher which is Floyd. It's to the body where he's shown repeatedly that he can't take it well.

            He can take head shots a lot better than body shots that's for sure, Lopez buckled him in half with a good body shot in their fight.

              I can't rate it until I first see My seed on it.

                  Not as good as it's made out to be. He's been hurt by guys like Alexander and Morales.

                    C'mon man, Ortiz at 140 was a bull dog, and Matthysse hits with the might of Thor's hammer.
