    Lets Get Something Straight, Joshua's Chin is Solid

    Any talk about Anthony Joshua's weakness being his chin is smoke and mirrors. That man can take a punch, and powerful one at that. Don't let the laser guided missile that Wlad landed on Joshua in the 6th round fool you. That punch would've put down anyone and knocked out 90% of the division. What was most impressive was the fact that Joshua was able to get up and recover from it, even as Wlad was wailing on him left and right. In fact he was taking Wlad's hardest shots all night long and Wlad is one of the most seasoned punchers the division has ever seen. Hats off to Joshua, I think he will reign for quite some time.

    I just re-watched the fight. He took some BOMBS from a huge puncher. Definitely not a chinny fighter, as some of the rumours used to go.

          I didn't see anything that says he has a GREAT chin, but not a bad one either. These aren't welters, watch some good HW fights and you'll guys taking really bombs over and over and not going down. Even small guys like Holyfield. Those are the guys where you take time to mention that they have great chins.

            The guy took a solid, flush straight right from Klit and went down but got back up to win via KO. I say his chin is pretty solid seeing as how Wlad has KO'd tons of people.

              All bets are off when a shot lands high on the head like that.

                Josh took some BOMBS in that fight! Uppercuts, Left Hooks, Straight Rights. His chin is way better than I expected. Especially the way people talk about him and all the sparring rumors

                  His chin mixed with that sh.it stamina will be his undoing.

                    It's freaking HW's. Anyone that lands a punch right will put their opponent to sleep. Joshua has as solid a chin as any other Heavy. His TECHNIQUE is what allows him to deal with more than one shot, he doesn't get hit by combos too often.
