Price fulfills one half of the description. 'Excellent' he really is not.

Khan, bang on. Has blinding speed and is talented but of course, very chinny.

I don't think Khan is that chinny; however he has no boxing IQ- he's super fast but defensively wide open quite often. He has improved in that area somewhat however.

What do you think about my list ? Do you agree ?
First of all, getting knocked down in a fight does not mean you are chinny. In a lot of cases even getting KO'd doesn't automatically mean you are chinny either. Of those on your list, Rigo and Fury have not been KO'd. Imo, the only one on your list that deserves that title of being chinny is Khan.

Sorry mate, but if Khan isn't chinny then I really don't know who is.

David Price; definitely not.

He is chinny & that's where it ends.

Amir Khan is spot on.

I disagree. He was never out cold in his career, and the only fight where his chin 100% let him down was Sanders. Again, look at his body of work. Wlad will never be remembered for an iron jaw, but anyone who objectively looks at his career will see that the weak chinned Wlad never really existed.
Which I have and yes he got put down 11 times in his career and stopped three times. But he was only dropped by blokes who could seriously bang.

I'm not saying he isn't chinny. I'm saying I don't think hes as chinny as his reputation suggests. Malik scott is far worse in that department I think.

The jab that Prescott rocked him with would've hurt anyone.

So if you're balance is completely gone, you just don't have the balls to get up? :doh:

Fighters very often try like hell to get up and often manage but still get stopped.

Or what about if you are completely out for the count?

Does that mean yu don't have the balls either? :brick:

Hes right. That was a picture perfect jab which he pushed hard off the back foot and timed perfectly clean through the point of the chin. I've seen plenty of fighters with a better chin than Khan's get hurt with jabs when they land that perfectly.

Disagree because that would make Marquez chinny when he's never been stopped. I think you also have to take in account how hard was the puncher who dropped/stopped them. Tyson was stopped in nearly all of his losses but I would never say he was chinny.

Pacquaio!!! Really, what because he was stopped once by Marquez? all of his other losses by stoppage earlier in his career were from fatigue, mainly due to making ridiculous weights.

Nothing wrong with Pacquaio's chin at all.

I have to repeat. I put Pac on this list because I thought (for a moment) he had been dead. Literally, I thought so, when Marquez KO'd him.........

That still doesn't make him chinny. Paul Williams even after the Martinez KO isn't chinny. Just ask Margarito.

Perhaps, you are right, but I, simply, can not forget Pac on canvas, without any signs of life.
