In retrospect can we say Floyd had a granite chin or that he just refused to lose?

[ADP02]

In retrospect, Floyd tries to get the advantages before he steps in that ring. Then his fans do not bring up that disclaimer.

Mosley looks like a ****** in those gifs

[Chuckguy]

GGG and Canelo getting all the shine so larrold comes out with another mayweather **** riding thread
Then he is the first one to cry to leave him alone because he is retired

On topic name another fighter with a "granite" chin that would have buckled on a Marcos fawking maidana punch or a past prime mosely? It's ok I'll wait

[SeekDaGreat]

Under rated and doesn't get enough credit in both those aspects, don't know if I'd say granite because he never got hit enough to truely test it

That shot he took from Maidana & Mosely were sick and he ate em and didn't miss a beat , Would have been interesting if the Maidana shot didn't happen at the end of the round ( I think Inwatched that punch like 50 times just rewinding IT over and over again.

Mentally Fliyd was probably the strongest in the game

Maidana hit him with the same exact punch in the first fight. Just as square. Just got less recognition for it. Round 10 I believe.

[LoadedWraps]

Shot that would have ko'd most fighters









The man literally refused to fold....

It's both homie. Floyd has a granite chin, but he also is that type of competitor that doesn't even consider losing. That's why he became so good, that partly comes from his dedication and love for the sport. It isn't enough to want to never lose, you have to be good enough to make it reality, and he did.


WAR MAYWEATHER!!

[Bardock]

Retrospect is a big word for you Larry, cong****.

But, in retrospect, Floyd's chin didn't get hit that much because under pressure he either hugged, ran or leaned back over the ropes.

When he did get properly tagged he did the chicken dance or hung on for dear life.

What kind of cheap shot low blow fgt ***** is this ?

[Chuckguy]

He clearly has a really good chin and really good recovering abilities.

To
Me Floyd had a sub par chin. It wasn't glass but no way was it granite. Floyds reflexes (as another poster stated) and his defensive skills is what made him seem like he had a granite chin. I've never seen anyone with floyds recovery skills I'll give him that

[R_Walken]

Maidana hit him with the same exact punch in the first fight. Just as square. Just got less recognition for it. Round 10 I believe.

Cool, I'm a try and find it

I haven't watched the first one in a bit but I don't recall that, just remember Maidana winning the first half and almost getting shut out in the second half by Mayweather standards though a close fight

Don't know how anyone can think Maidana isn't the man

[b00g13man]

What kind of cheap shot low blow fgt ***** is this ?

He's still salty about the Hatton fight. This is what Spoon will be like in a few years.

[SplitSecond]

His chin is average. He does well to roll things but in the words of Juan Manuel Marquez, when he gets hit clean he wobbles. Cotto took numerous of the same punch from a healthier, younger Mosley, and Maidana isn't that big of a puncher.

Verdict: average chin, great defence.
