    Considering his fighting style, there's no chance he has a glass chin. It's average at worst. Otherwise he would have gotten KDd a lot more than he has.

    Plus, it's not an issue against Ward. If Ward knocks him down, it will be similar to Barrera - opponent was off balance and got hit with accurate shot.

      Its average-ish

      Why use decades old amateur videos when he's fought in top guys in the pros?

          Average in boxing terms I'd guess I've seen nothing too suggest its bad or Ward has enough pop to exploit anything.

            Kovalev came back and destroyed Boone in 2 rounds in the rematch, after winning the first time despite the KD.

              I don't think it's glassy, but the assumption people have that he's iron jawed seems to be flawed. His initial reactions when hit flush aren't great. It usually looks like it bothers him. But, I'm not expecting him to fall apart when countered by Ward. I think it'll just tire him and diminish his output.
