    Is AJ's chin really that bad?

    Not saying he's Oliver McCall but people make a big deal about his chin. I don't think the chin is the problem. Stamina issues, yes but not really chin issues.

    What do you mean not really chin issues? He was knocked down in the 3rd round twice due to punches to the face.

      Stamina issues leads to impatience, doesn't help that he also took the fighter lightly until it was too late, the more you get put down thou, eventually that chin gets unlocked.

        It's not Amir Khan bad but its shaky. To me his problem is because he is too bulky and stiff he cant roll with the punches very well.

        In that sense he is like Khan, takes a the full impact of shots because he cant roll with them.

          He has been knocked down 5 times and wobbled once in his last five fights (down 4 times against Ruiz, 1 against Wladimir Klitcschko, wobbled by Povetkin) and was put on dream street once by Dillian Whyte before that.

          His chin is highly, highly suspect and it probably won't be better after last night. I don't see him holding up to a Wilder overhand right or a straight counter left from Ortiz.

            He clearly has defensive and resistant issues
