Agreed. He's chin is being exposed now bit by bit. He got KOed (zab style) by N.Donaire and recently got floored twice by a mediocre fighter Gorres.

Roger Mayweather had a glass chin, but he had some good boxing skills and a great right hand, so it did not get exposed too often.

It did not take much to put him down though. I am still in shock as to how Kostya didn't rattle it.

Nice call here.Mayweather Had The highs and lows of both worlds,A searing Right that could stun and hurt the best but His chin at times looked constructed of aluminum foil.His KO loss to Pineda was so explosive and sudden a turn around.

The fights i've seen of Tito's he didn't have an extraordinary chin either.. But he was able to get back up and recover.

taking the chance of being redundant.. as i didn't read pages 1-4.. i think Diego Corrales was a bit chinny.. i mean, it kind of depends on how you look at it.. the man was a warrior and a machine, but he has to be the guy who has the most 1 punch knock downs i've ever seen.. he may not have been KO'd/TKO'd but he still went down A LOT.. vs mayweather at least 4 times, casamayor at least twice in the first two fights, castillo in the first fight 3 times i think? plus i'm sure more that i'm missing, but he went down A LOT..

not to take anyhting away from him.. he was great, he just got knocked down a lot.. thankfully he was courageous enough to get back up and keep going and thats why he was a champ.

Majority of all his knockdowns were flash knockdowns, i think all these bad chins rumors would have been erased when he fought a much bigger man in Bernard Hopkins and took a pasting and was still there. It took a monster right hand from Hopkins to stop Tito and even then Tito still got up from it.

Nah he definitely means Hide. Box hair cut? come on its obvious! lol

Im surprised nobody has mentioned Nigel Benn...A flush punch would always have him in all kinds of trouble. His legs would go instantly but he had great recovery and survival instincts.
I think when most people think of Judah's chin they just think of the Zab dance which granted is some funny shit but he got beaten up by Cotto for 11 rounds and I thought his chin held up very well. If he stayed down after Tsuyu dropped him he may have been ok and able to continue after the 8 count! Instead we got one of boxings funniest video's...thank you Zab

Lewis had a good chin..he took flush shots from Vitali and didn't even move.ICB and Daxx, I agree that Bruno's problem was the lack of survival instincts..he never tied up and just kinda shit himself when he got hit hard!
