    Does Anthony Joshua have a glass jaw or iron chin?

    Took that good shot from Whyte decently. Got rocked but it's possible it would have dropped most HW's. Klit wouldn't have taken that shot but he wouldn't have been hit with it most likely.

    Joshua did and got rocked badly. Decent recovery but it was the first time he's really been hit well.

    So do you think he's packing glass or iron?

      Not a great start to be honest. in 14 fights he wasn't really hit good once, and then he gets a huge shot by Whyte and was out on his feet for a few seconds. He's lucky he had good recovery, most HW's would of been KO'd by that shot.

        As of right now he has a suspect chin. I think martin will test that chin a couple of times we will have to see what happens after that.

          Very bad chin

          The shot Whyte caught him with clipped him at best.

          But what a lot of people didn't notice about that shot was that it actually knocked Joshua out.

          Joshua was literally unconcious for a few seconds after that shot.

          But because his legs are so strong (steroids) when you get ko'd all your muscles tense. So he stayed on his feet because his strong legs locked up, like Rigor Mortis.

          Whyte is just a fat club fighter and he was so shocked he didn't take advantage.

          Martin is a slick, skilled champion. When he gets joshua like that he will follow up with a beautiful left hook and send joshua crashing to the canvas for the full 10 count

            These types of analogies rarely play out. When Merrquin had Rigo out of his feet a couple times momentarily, many people said Donaire would kill him in that case. Every fight has a different set of dynamics and often does not produce those triangle results. Its heavyweights and either fighter could get KO'd but history is littered with guys who took huge punches and didn't flinch and then fought lighter punchers and were taken out.

              Who knows at this point?

              Also, we don't know how good Martin is, so it's hard to say if that's a true test.

                I can't wait for Joshua to KO Martin and Povetkin to KO Wilder and you to cry yourself to sleep at night.

                  Be can have a glass jaw. As long as he is so good he don't get hit and wins fiughts without anyone testing it is the goal. He wants to keep us in suspense. But being able to hit as hard as he already does

                    This is heavyweight boxing. Even the best chins go down eventually in this division.

                    The key is minimising mistakes so you dont get hit much. Hence why a lot of heavyweight fights can be quite slow and boring

                    Joshua made a mistake against whyte and got punished for it. he is a much smarter boxer than people give him credit for
