Why does Golovkin have such a good chin? Because he keeps his chin tucked in

[HEND]

If by "inside game" you mean clinching and holding then yeah, this is true.

Not just that. Monroe, a nautral born outside boxer had success against him up close. Golovkin didn't move his head and he looked far less committed in his punches than in his usual game. But yes you're right clinch ad hold too. Like it or not, it's a part of boxing.

So Stevens can't crack? I guess GGG has to be able to take full on combinations from kovalev,in order for his chin to be considered "good".

What fight is that?

Another comment in a thread by a Floyd fan showing he doesn't know boxing

No surprise

What fight is that?

Curtis Stevens vs Saul Román. Curtis caught Golovkin clean a few times too, the only fighter that I have see stagger Golovkin briefly.

He's got an incredible chin

He won't get knocked during his career

Never say never, but it's going to take either massive power or ridiculous size to hurt him.

Damn this site is full of nut huggers instead of real boxing fans, I'm Golovkin's fan and HEND is 100% right about his inside game and fighting at the center of the ring. Being a GGG fan doesn't mean you have to be his groupie too. Stop being so emotional cause he said something against the one of yours (and mine, too!) favorite fighters, it wouldn't hurt you to be a bit more objective.

Because he fights guys with 6 knockouts?

Being objective, GGG is one of the best inside fighters in boxing today.

The way he throws those short vicious hooks to the body, or lowers his head, tucks it under his opponents chin, then bores foreward so they have to give ground and allow him room to get his punches off - something Chavez Sr used to do a lot in his fights - is something to see.

It may not look like the kind of inside fighting you are accustomed to, but that's down to your limitations, not GGG's.

Enough said. Watch him fight and look how well he keeps his chin down. Reduces the damage big time!

I agree, it was the first thing I noticed about him as I also tuck my chin in. That way you never get hit clean on the button.
