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

He didn't get hit with enough big shots (thanks to his impeccable defense) for us to really say his chin was made of granite stone. Anyone who truly thinks 95% of boxers would have even been knocked down let alone knocked out from the shots he took in those gifs is a ****** or a Floyd nuthugger (is there a difference?)

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.

If by "chicken dance" you mean he got his legs wobbled he did that 4 times in his career. Pacqauio, Mosley, Maidana Corley.

Castillo, Chavez, Hatton, Judah, Oscar, Ortiz, Cotto, Canelo can all punch and all hit him clean, some of the above numerous times and didn't wobble him once.

So to say every time he was properly tagged he hung on for dear life is just a ridiculous claim.

I don't think it was granite. It just "looked" granite because he barely took any shots that were flush and you also have to consider his conditioning. But when he did get hit flush he got hurt. ie the gifs you posted.
