    Mayweather's chin

    I think Mayweather's ATG chin is overlooked...

    Despite having an ATG defence like every boxer he gets hit and seems to shrug it off better than most, he is one of the best at hiding when he is hurt.

    Apart from Mosley and that lanky southpaw he faced (can't remember his name) I've rarely seen him visibly hurt, ODLH landed a massive right hand on him I think in the 11th and he shrugged it off so well, Maidana landed some huge blows and he shrugged them off like nothing..

    The fact that's he's never been officially knocked down in his whole career is amazing..

    Out of 10 where do you rank the sturdiness of Mayweather's chin?

    Very underrated, but also still very untested.

    But he has a good Leno, perhaps even great- But I don't think we'll necessarily ever find out. He's defence is just too good for us to make a proven statement. But he has been holding up against the worlds best for so long, so no doubt his chin is reall good. Haters will say he was KD'ed against Judah, but it really was nothing to be honest.

      He has a good chin, idk ATG cause he doesn't keep getting hit like brawlers do, but just landing a good hit on Floyd he takes it well. Chop Chop hurt him the worst i think, and even with the whole glove controversy, Chino still said he was surprised Floyd took his punches well.

        he's been hurt a few times and considering the little amount of clean shots that he takes I don't think you could consider his chin great.

          He has a great chin. He's fought some hard punchers like Canelo, Maidana, N'Dou, and Corrales.

            but how many clean shots did he take?

            his defense is ATG.

              Floyd said it himself, to be at his level you MUST have a iron chin. It's common knowledge that Floyd's chin is very solid, but often times it's put aside because it's hardly ever tested. But for those who have watched his career from start to present, we've seen first hand that he does indeed have a granite chin.

                Where would you put his defense in the ATG rankings?

                  His chin isn't bad, but its certainly not iron.

                    Could you please elaborate how you got your info on his chin not being iron?
