I still think the two most vital attributes to boxing are a good chin and strong resolve/resiliency. A paper thin margin above having skills.

You can be boxing cleanly on the way to a unanimous decision and one punch you don't see ends all of that. Same goes for when you get rocked and still have the awareness to not go down/keep your composure.

Floyd's chin and resilience may have made all the difference between being undefeated and losing more than once. That's on top of his great skills.
That's why I try not to stan until a dudes chin is certified...not trying to invest in a dude only to see him get Khan'd....:laugh:

Floyd's chin is underrated and has to be considered top notch cause it's not like it hasn't been tested some over the years.

I watched that shane mosley fight in the movie theaters- man when shane landed that, the whole theater rose in delight and excitement, they really thought Floyd was gonna get clapped. My girl at the time even rose up with them, yelling for his head. I felt abandoned, once he recovered and went to work on Shane, that theater lost all that energy there- it was like a funeral how it was so sad.

Every time Floyd threw a punch that landed, I had to say something. That was the first time I ever realized how much people wanted Floyd to lose and to anybody. On the low, every time Floyd got hit like that- it makes him angrier and he gets way more aggressive to prove a point.

That Maidana shot was deadly and I'm surprised he stayed up for it, very lucky it was the end of the round. even Kenny bayless was just looking at son like, "you good?", Floyd was looking like dragonfly jones off Martin when he was fighting dude at the ATM and went and stood on the wall lol


:wow:

Underrated chin....:blessed:

The opening of that Mosley fight was hype. Me and my dad were losing our minds....:pachaha:
I never post in this forum but I saw this thread title and had to jump in. I was in the bar when this went down. The entire place was buzzing for like 5 minutes. Then Floyd put everybody back in their chairs...

From round 3 onwards Floyd silenced everyone and went back into GOAT mode.

It was actually crazy how he just took it then didn't fold and stuck to his game plan and man handled Mosley after that.

As great as Floyd is I still think he's underrated or should I say under appreciated. The Mosley fight was a thing of beauty to me. One of my favorites to watch.
