It was good...I wouldn’t go as far as calling it “granite” though. Guys with a granite chin don’t get rocked or wobbled at all, especially not by guys like demarcus Corley.
How does Floyd's chin rate?

Most of the guys you would say have a granite chin were way bigger than their opponents and/or 1 weight class guys. For a guy that went through 5 divisions his chin is great.Comment

Money May's chin was excellent because he was fundamentally sound defensively. He had exceptional reflexes and was able to see every punch coming that was thrown in his direction; Especially to the head. In addition, he always kept his chin tucked in too.Comment

A lot of it came down to him rarely getting hit flush, which is better than having it tested often. Can’t classify his chin as granite though.Comment

He had a good chin but his defense and ring IQ was out of this world, so the few flush big shots he got hit with he was able to mitigate. The average fighter, top level, gets his with bombs multiple times in virtually every competitive fight. Floyd just didn't experience that.Comment

The way I look at it is if he had the same chin and was struck with the punch Mosley hit him, but didn’t have the best defences then I could see him stopped with a follow up combination (or severely hurt). He had a good chin to cop a solid shot, but it was really his recuperation/composure and defence that kept him on his feet.
But to say it was granite is a massive stretch considering these shots rocked him and they were single shots rather than combos or follow up.
He had a good chin to cop a big hay maker and stay composed and avoid the follow upLast edited by kingstip9; 02-18-2021, 04:00 AM.Comment

8-9/10 chin. He can get buzzed and stunned and hurt but never knocked down. Mayweather has a good chin because he really never has to test it. 10/10 for me as a Margarito type chin where you can take big shots over and over. It took how many bombs from Mosley to finally crack him.Comment
