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.Last edited by Porter's Dad; 04-30-2017, 09:25 PM.

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.

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.
