    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.
    But he was wobbled, and dropped repeatedly by ortiz,,, I dont think you can claim he has a great chin, when ortiz drops you 3 times in 5 mins.. and Karass and lopez were both stinging him everytime they landed,,

    I think this granite chin, or even an above-average chin is not what maidana has...
    His heart and courage are off the charts, but he has a decent chin, nothing more than that

      You guys made good points, and I change my mind. His chin does kind of suck.

      BUT, I never said he had a great chin.

        his chin is average when he's fighting non punchers who can't ko him but whenever he fights someone who can punch he eats canvas instantly. better?

                His chin is okay, his recovery is good.

                  Not bad. Not special but very respectable.

                    Maidana likes his sugary snacks clearly, he has a good beard and a durable face that doesn't bust up easy but he his soft to the body.

                      his balance makes him appear more hurt than he really is.

                      ortiz was big at 140 and can punch. given maidana's style, it was gonna happen. he was caught with punches he didn't see coming but he was never on ***** street in any of those knockdowns. he quickly got up from them and beat ortiz's ass down.

                      funny how nobody, including showtime, could find any highlights of these devastating body shots that karass and lopez supposedly landed. maidana looked like a fresh fighter at the time of both stoppages. he took their punches quite well for the most part. talk about blowing things out of proportion.

                      lopez had one good round in which maidana claims he was compromised by an illegal blow. maidana was trying different things against karass every round, he was brawling and boxing. i don't think he was all that hurt in the rounds he tried to boxed.
