    Why would he not. Khan has and so has adrien broner. Floyd can take a punch and has been hit by harder punchers.

      Well, seeing that he took a couple bombs from Mosley and recovered, I'll say his chin is underrated.

        No he hasn't.

        And no, most people would go down if he lands his full power flush, but top fighters are good at not letting that happen.

          Floyd's got a gd chin, see Mosley fight
          He has a very very strong neck, even when he's been hit his head doesn't snap like other fighters
          Yes he can take a shot from maidana
          If maidana lands a few maybe not but that's unlikely init

            Floyd's chin is underrated.

            He rarely gets hit flush, but everyone once in a while he'll take a hard shot but HE NEVER shows it, loses composure, or his senses; enough so that we barely realized when he gets hit.

            The shots that Mosley landed tko'd Margarito. Think about that.

            Floyd's chin is top level.

              I want to see how Floyd is going to adjust to the way Maidana throws his overhand right at a downward angle

                  that's the ONE and only thing that can make this exciting. Floyd is really good at reading boxers, but Maidana's "technique" is awkward and unpredictable that it may surprise even floyd.

                  El Chino is not Rios, Baldomir, or other ****er who you can predict. Maidana doesn't follow patterns necessarily.

                    Easy. Floyd won't be there when he throws it. I honestly don't think Chino will even get a good angle to throw it all night.
