Where did the Joshua is chinny narrative came from?

[Ray*]

Well that’s boxing fans for you. Seems like getting “Drop” is a new thing in boxing at HW lol. I personally don’t think he is chinny at all, as an amateur he was late into it, he was facing season east Europeans who had mastered the art.

And sparring is sparring, the only encounter so far is the Wlad one, he got up from it and went on to win that fight, now go back in Wlad’s fight career and see how many people got up from that right hand.

The Whyte stunning was just that, he recovered quickly for it to mean anything. Moreover he learn from that Whyte one, going all gun blazing after having hurt Whyte.

His chin isn't bad and neither is Wilder's chin. They don't have real good chins either. Both of them have been hurt before and probably could be KOed by a good puncher if he landed some bombs. He did get up from Vlad's punch but he was down for at least the count of 6 and was wobbly when he got up. I think a younger Wlad would have finished him off.

It's quite funny. He gets dropped by klitchko and he's chinny. Fury gets dropped by light punching crusierweight Steve Cunningham and everyone just forgets about it lol.

People in boxing have select memories and only use one fighter and not the other . But lets not make this a Wilder thread too ,the poor guy loses every time and he would lose in this comparison too.

Im not sure everyone watches fights sober on here . You are basing Joshuas chin on ONE Klitchko punch (you realise he was hit very hard more than once right ? ) and on a HUGE knock down where fatigue was also a contributing factor yet made it too rnd 11 and WON and has somehow is known for poor stamina ?

Lets also pretend the flush shots he took AFTER the 2nd rnd Whyte fight that he literally smiled at . Somehow that fight shows a weak chin . You guys realise the object of BOXING is to hit the other guy right ? I dont think you do bc most on here revert to high school girls of...

"OH MY GOD DID YOU SEE THAT HE GOT HIT "

None of them are exactly feather fisted are they

so basically he can be hurt or knocked out if he's hit on the chin by a huge puncher

that isn't being chinny

Every boxer has a great chin until they get hit by the right punch.

Some of our greatest HWs have been KD'd or even KO'd.

[LetOutTheCage]

He doesn't have the best chin but nor does Wilder.

Wlad hits Wilder with that one and we have a funeral.

Pretty much these.

I dont think he is chinny. But he doesnt have a granite chin either. Seems to be a normal HW chin, though with his inexperience, he has defensive lapses that leave it more open than other fighters do.

[Motorcity Cobra]

how so

After that fight is when he started shying away from the Wilder fight.
