Does Chavez Jr really have a granite chin?

[T-97]

Yeah, I keep hearing that Jr has an incredible chin, but I can't understand where it's come from. He walked through Lee's shots pretty easily, but Lee isn't an amazing puncher, and never seemed to be putting his weight into his shots, from what I remember.

I think Jr will struggle to take Martinez's power if he starts getting caught clean with those left hands...

[Optimistic]

Once Maravilla starts landing those lefts hands repeatedly, I doubt his "Granite" chin will hold up.

[kill the body]

same way ya'll claim Vitali has a granite chin yet the times he was hit flush he either ran or held on for dear life

[Kimo]

He outweights his opponents drastically so you can't really judge his judge chin that well. He definitely walks through his opponents though, and he inherited his dad's genetics so there's good chance he's solid.

[brick wall]

well he has a good chin that's for sure...whether it's as good as his father's remains to be seen.

i didn't really see a lot of people claiming he has a granite chin in the first place to warrant a thread like this.

stop your babling, has Chavez jr ever hit the canvas ?

Who has he fought that could have put them their? And does Sergio do something deadily everytime he faces adversity?...I ask u a question, just like u asked a question...Chavez hasnt fought anyone...I will answer my own question...everytime Sergio faces adversity, he makes u pay...He did it two fights in a row,...Barker broke his nose, and Sergio elevated to the next level, and busted his eardrum...Macklin did well, and Sergio KO'd him for it...Pwill beat Sergio, and Sergio made him pay instantly in the rematch...Chavez has no expirience, but if he gives Sergio ANY PROBLEMS, Sergio will KO him, he has that true champion attribute where he rises to the occasion when he faces adversity...When Sergio is in trouble, thats when he is most dangerous...the championship moments, is when Chavez will see the best of Sergio, cuz Sergio has a history of doing this...he did it two fights in a row, which is almost astonishing...these types of things normally happen rarely...Sergio has been doing it allot lately

chavez jr showed a pretty good chin against john duddy..eventhough duddy wasn't a huge puncher he still landed some hard shots on chavez jr and jr reacted pretty well against those punches. but definitely i predict martinez will put chavez jr's chin to the test.

[Pad83]

Yeah he's got a very good chin for a middleweight. The reason is probably being because he's a light heavyweight who cheats to make weight.

The man is huge compared to his opposition. When he fights Sergio it's going to look like a light heavyweight/cruiser fighting a light middleweight. I still think Sergio has too much class and wins despite the size disparity.

Duddy shook him a bit.

Chavez jr has pretty horrible defense, he's been getting away with it because he hasn't fought any fast guys with accuracy and power. I can really see it as the biggest HBO PPV mistmatch since Gatti vs. Mayweather.

Another thing is Chavez doesn't have big 1 punch power, I don't see any way he can beat Martinez.

He has a good chin but not a granite chin
