Where did the Joshua is chinny narrative came from?

[Stinger1]

Who at heavyweight has a great chin? If the qualification is getting wobbled or dropped then that disqualifies everyone. It's bizarre the current narrative is that Joshua is chinny, Tyson Fury got dropped by Steve Cunningham, Deontay got dropped by Harold Sconiers FFS. We could go back through history of all the greats and they all got dropped by journeymen at some point.

[iamboxing]

Getting rocked by Whyte, being dropped by Wlad, rumors of getting KO'd in sparring by a rookie, ect.. I don't co- sign any of that, I think he has a good chin and plus he's a HW, just pointing out why people spew that mess.

How does that prove he has a good chin? It's average at best. If it was good he wouldn't be wobbled by Whyte who didn't even land flush.

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

and if they fight 2018

joshua's chin is fine.


keep in mind that most of these guys have watched very little HW boxing because they haven't been around the sport for a long time.

HW boxing was hardly on american TV in the last 10 years. it's literally almost like another sport. they see a guy hurt at HW and think he's got a bad chin. in reality, everybody at HW can punch, and anybody can get rocked. guys with a bad chin dont get up from a klitschko bomb. hell, they don't even get to the klitschko fight. basically everybody in the division can punch. basically everybody! that means you'd need to avoid big shots by basically everybody and get to the pinnacle of the sport to have a bad chin.

joshua's chin doesn't look like it's made of steel, but he certainly doesn't have a bad chin, and anybody who watched the klithscko fight and knows how hard the 6'6" ukranian guy can punch will tell you that!

If Joshuas chinny, then wilder is made of china.. he got flattened wearing headgear lol.

Chicken legged against Molina too if i remember rightly.

[Larry the boss]

But Wlad couldn't even drop Haye, so is it Joshua's chin or lack of defense?

why no one sign him? He looked talented and with proper conditioning probably could be a cruiser.

He has a weird philosophy about money but surely he'd be a force under any promoter

Someone needs to talk with the guy. "he delaying turning pro so he can win gold medal in Tokyo"

He makes 1500 a month paid by Romanian military

i dont think he is chinny in the same way Khan is but...

He is susceptible to gassing and that makes him highly vulnerable to taking big shots.

He takes damage with humbleness though, thats important.
