Chins you're not sold on.

[Eff Pandas]

Probably the top two higher level guys I'm not sold on are Crawford (Gamboa hurting him + his alleged street fight KO L to light hitting, lighter guy Gary Russell got me questioning his chin) & Joshua (seen him have his bell rung as a amatuer once or twice + Whyte had him buzzed). I won't be surprised if one or both of these guys get a KO L on the record over the next 12 months vs their expected competition over that time.

It was a right hand? Straight on the chin.

And it was hardly a 'booty dew'

Imo, if anything we learned from the Carson Jones fight, it is that Brook can take a good punch. he was completely done after 7 rounds, had his nose broken, took some good punches every round and was still fighting back in round 12.

Yeah against a journeyman.

Whatever it was he was rocked by Senchenko that's all you need to know about a guys chin.

Senchenko was a former world champion? How is that a journeyman?

[LetOutTheCage]

I'll name a few:

Crawford: Saw him get hurt several times against Gamboa, and his chin hasn't been tested against bigger fighters yet. I personally don't think he lasts very long if he moves up to 147.

Kovalev: Still have questions about his durability.

Anthony Joshua: Very chinny indeed. Doesn't have the greatest defense either so if you put him in with a skilled puncher he's going to be in a world of trouble. Him vs. Wilder is literally 50/50, first one who lands wins.

Please explain, the only fighter I saw hurt Joshua was Whyte and even then he wasn't off his feet or that badly hurt, lets not forget that Whyte is also known for having power.

Tyson Fury: has a suspect chin, getting dropped by a cruiserweight who is 6 inches smaller than him.

Andre Ward: He's been in with a lot of heavy hitters and in fairness he rarely gets caught cleanly these days but I still remember when Darnell Boone rocked him badly.

Wilder: Haye had him doing a chicken dance while sparring, seen him get clipped and wobbled a few times.

Brook had been rocked a couple of times a few years ago but apparently the way he went about making weight then was awful and was draining himself to the point of being a zombie. He brought in new people since then to help make the weight properly and healthy and his stamina and everything else seems to have improved, so i'll give him the benefit of the doubt on that one as that might have been part of the reason.

Not quite sold on Thurman's chin or Crawford. I believe Kovalev could be hurt but it's finding someone who can hurt him before he hurts them, once they feel the power they might just go on the run and not try to engage. Not convinced by Joshua's or Wilder's either but it's heavyweight boxing where the best fighters can be knocked out by lesser fighters.

Carson Jones.

Carson Jones.

He also took Porter 12 rounds without getting hurt at any stage in the fight.

Not saying his chin is granite, but if it was suspect I'm sure we would have seen him wobbly or down over the last couple of years.

You've seen him wobbly against Senchenko who can't punch.

Porter didn't land anything clean that's why. There's a reason Brook was holding a lot.

[Basco]

Canelo was rocked more than once by a a guy he outweighed by fifteen pounds (Floyd) and almost got dropped by the right hand that had Magic Johnson on his feet in the late rounds, a guy who couldn't even make a 152 catchweigh neither on the one day weigh in (150.5lb) or on fight night (150lbs) or even on the thirty day weigh in (150lbs).

He was also badly hurt and rocked by Kirkland.

Canelo don't got no solid chin. It aint weak either of course, but it aint solid, it will crack as soon as he fights someone his own size without draining or blowing em up, which I guess is like...never.

Kovalev has a suspect chin too, so does Povetkin (Kd four times by Klitschko, one of them via a freakin Jab).

Wilder's chin is suspect, not confirmed weak, but suspect.

Joshua's chin is solid.

Fury's chin is suspect.

Thurman? I don't think his chin is suspect, but I think his body is. Collazo hurt him badly.

Tim Bradly used to have a solid chin, but now it has become suspect after getting hurt badly by Vargas and getting KD by Pac after not getting KD in their two previous bouts.

Crawford's chin is not suspect in my opinion, it is plain weak. If a small guy like Gamboa can hurt him like he did in the later rounds of their fight, then all the welters can KO him. His offense is brilliant but his defense and chin is weak in my view.

Stevenson's chin is suspect.

Yeah that's it for now.

Good Assessment, I agree in all accounts.

No I haven't seen him wobbly?

He didn't wobble at all, you have made a great point of exaggerating it ever since it happened
