I think both Marquez brothers are GREAT BOXING BROS, but have weak chins.
Sure,that makes sense. He hasn't been stopped,he was dropped 3 times by p4p one of the hardest punchers in the game and came back to win the majority of the rounds,was dropped by Norwood and came back to win most of the rounds,and dropped by MAB and won the fight? Name me some other fights he's been rocked,I saw him take BOMBS from Terdsak and Jaca and stay standing.Originally Posted by Preme
And no offence,because you're one of my favourite posters but to say he is easily put down from punches that are good but not great does not make sense.What is a good and great punch?
I can understand the confusion though with regards to chins,I have this debate all the time with Cotto/Tito naysayers who say they have a weak chin,get wobbled etc but my argument is how often are they stopped? Their chins can't be that bad then can they?
I don't know why Rafa is being brought into it but how does he has a weak chin? At least try to justify what you are saying.Originally Posted by Pacstraightleft

Yep, Rafa does (according to his fights against Vazquez).Originally Posted by El Gamo
I brought Rafa up for genetic reason.![]()
I kinda disagree with you here Gamo, about the chin factor... THe thing is, yea Marquez, Cotto, and Tito(to a less extent, he's had more balance issues imo) can be hurt and rocked, put down... But the fact that they come back to win doesn't prove that they don't have weakish chins... It proves that they have a granite will to keep fighting, and massive heart, that they can still fire on all cylinders and stay confident in the worst of times... See if you ask me it's almost all about a fighters mentality.. Some guys get hurt or put down by a punch, and they start to question themselves, they are afraid to get hit again, which makes it easier for the opponent to finish them off. Im talking about your Zab Judah's of the world here. If you think about it, Zab's chin itself probably isn't much worse than any of the aformentioned guys. The only person to actually KO him was KT and it was a devestating punch p4p, that may have put Cotto or Marquez out as well . The difference is guys like Tito, Marquez or Cotto, who don't lose composure no matter what they get hit with, and never stop believing in their own ability to hurt the other guy. Just my two cents on the matter, but I don't think you can argue that mental makeup has a lot to do with it. Anyone can get knocked out cold with the right shot, some guys can be hurt with simply a good punch... But it's the guys that keep fighting as if nothing happened as long as they are still upright who do best when that happens. THe reason I believe this is that there aren't many elite, absolute top level fighters who are rocked often. Those who are, have to have that fire in them, you know.Originally Posted by El Gamo
yea hopefully juarez comes prepared and pull out an upset.![]()

Jmm does not have a weak chin, his been drop and rock but who hasn't? People are quick to judge but its not fair to say a fighter has weak chin just because someone saw one or two fights of him getting rock. MOst of the people that are quick to lable fighters with weak chin have no clue what they are claiming. The tito and cotto are good exampls El Gamo, I have to mention my boy pac too. Many people use to always say pac has a weak chin becuase he got k.o'ed twice in his early days, but those same people had no idea that those knock out lost weren't even chin shots they were body shots. Anyways Jmm is one of the most underestamated fighters out there. When he was knock down by pac three times in one round, the only one that really put him down long was the third punch. His one of those tough fighters, even if you put him down he'll get up to beat you. Thats what makes jmm so dangerous and why I think his the biggest treat to pac. Unlike the other fighters, once they get drop they start doubting themselves. jmm if you drop him gets piss and comes back warmed up and ready to give you all he has. A soft chin is when a fighter gets drop but never gets back up. Jmm doesn't stay down!!!
good point. ccOriginally Posted by p4pking

True, Pac got KTFO twice from body shots. But FYI, Pac also got knocked down more than twice from chin shots.Originally Posted by Julius Rain
Pac has weak chin too, he's just good off shaking it off everytime he gets rocked.

weak is an overstatement. so who doesnt have a weak chin to you? funny how pac could fight the hardest hitter in his division but the last person to drop him was down in the 122 division against hussienOriginally Posted by Pacstraightleft
a quick chin checker is one thing but saying a fighter has a weak chin is a total overstatement. a guy gets drop a few times doesn't mean he has weak chin, it just means he got caught with a good one.

Guys with good chin are really rare. There's only one guy that I can think right now...Originally Posted by Julius Rain
Gerry Penalosa. Dude is 35 years old and never been dropped.
If JMM had weak chin he would of been stopped by Pacquiao and Barrera i don't know where you got that from JMM has never been stopped in his whole career.Originally Posted by Pacstraightleft

I guess that depends on how you judge someones chin.Originally Posted by ICE COLD BOXING
To me, once get floored by one punch... that's a sign of soft chin.
Like I said on my last post, Gerry Penalosa is a good example of good chin. I have to add PRIME Erik Morales too.
Not sure what you mean there but i took it as your saying if you get floored by one punch thats sign of weak chin correct ??Originally Posted by Pacstraightleft
Well i guess Ali had weak chin then getting decked by one punch from Cooper and Frazier.

Oops! sorry, typo.Originally Posted by ICE COLD BOXING
Yep, Ali had weak chin,... like many GREAT FIGHTERS.
Actually Soto did it first.Originally Posted by frozensolid_702
Rocky...... is better than Barrios, but I'd rather watch Barrios fight Marquez. At least there would be action.
This has the makings of a pretty average fight that turns out long and to a decision.
Juarez doesn't even deserve to fight the top 10 fighters of his division. heh
