Yeah his chin was solid (Spinks), he took good shots from everyone Judah/Mayorga/Karmazin and Latimore. In the Latimore fight you could kind of see that his legs were beginning to fail him even though he won he just didn't have the legs and that's when his punch resistance started to go.
I don't really remember Cory Spinks taking that many solid shots, from Ricardo Mayorga or Zab Judah. He outboxed Ricard Mayorga for a majority of the fight, and hardly got tagged all night with a flush shot. He went down atleast a dozen times though, and one of them was a legit knockdown.
Both fights vs Zab Judah were chess matches, and he was on the verge of being stopped against Zab Judah in the last round of there 1st fight, and when he got tagged by Zab Judah in there 2nd fight he never recovered.
Im not so sure he has a solid chin, he always looked a tad vulnerable to me chin wise. He didn't have a weak chin. I'd call his chin average, its just his great reflexes stopped him taking flush shots.
Pernell Whitaker was the same but he did actually have a very good chin, because when his reflexes slowed he took great shots from a great puncher. Like Felix Trinidad whilst having a broken jaw aswell.
Where as when Cory Spink's reflexes slowed up, he didn't take shots that great. Which leads me to believe he had an average chin.
