Fighters you suspect have a GLASS JAW 100%
IMO and many will disagree, I think Floyd Mayweather cant take a punch and he knows it, like Roy Jones and Fernando Vargas and Lennox Lewis, all really REALLY EXAGGERATEDLY RAN LIKE ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE away from punches.
Well yes, a boxer SHOULD run the hell away from punches, but the way THEY ran their little tails off at the slightest feint or punch, it always seemed to me that they knew they couldn't take too good a shot.
Now ODLH can REALLY take a good shot. So could Larry Holmes, and so could Mike Tyson, Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali. I would say they were the OPPOSITE of the Glass Jaw crew above.

this just goes to show that you know jackshit about boxing, glass jaw crew to me would be, Amir Khan, Tommy Hearns, Wlad Klitschko, etc.
Jones' losses by KO were more from dropping to light heavy, he really hasn't been hurt after the 3rd fight with Tarver, a fight he could have won, Vargas didn't really have a glass jaw, he took a vicious beating by Trinidad and after 5 knockdowns was finally stopped in the 12th after giving Tito fits, Lewis i always ragged him on having a glass chin, but although it was far from being Iron it was half decent WHEN he came in fully focused, Mayweather has taken flush shots and although has been rocked never has gone down, and recouperates quickly, next we'll hear that Whitaker, Hopkins, and Wright were so defensive cause they can't take a punch :rolleyes:
best chins in boxing IMO
Vitali Klitschko
Erik Morales
George Chuvalo
and others
Re: Fighters you suspect have a GLASS JAW 100%

Lewis was KO'd by shots he didn't see coming from BIG fighters... Heavyweights... if 240 pounds hits you on the chin and you don't see it coming then you're going down.
Roy Jones... find me one instance where Jones was heart by anything other than a massive punch right on his chin...
It's a common misconception that Jones was never hit until Tarver managed to transfer 100% of himself into Roy's Chin. He was elusive but he could be hit.
The only other knockdowns he's had are after taking a sustained beating for what?... 9 rounds from Johnson and a flash knock down from another lighty heavy that he bounced back up from unaffected.
All Light Heavyweights (they don't fuck about... these boys can punch).. Ruiz hit Jones flush a few times, he's not a punch but he's a legit heavy weight and Jones started off as a LIGHT MIDDLE WEIGHT.
there are obviously fighters with better chins out there but to say that somebody who started his career as a 154lb fighter who went on to win titles in every weight class upwards from there a GLASS JAW shows that you don't know shit.

in JCC Jr.'s defense his chin is decent, the problem is he gets hit too often
Re: Fighters you suspect have a GLASS JAW 100%
I dont think any of the three had glass jaws really.It Blows me away when people point to Lewis having a china chin off of his two KO losses,basically boiling his career down to just two shots....both that were avenged with exclamation marks.I think those defeats had much more to do with a soggy state of mind and lack of preparedness.
In no way was he a runner but a calculating boxer who knew how to use his size,when the shite hit the fan,he could explode on the inside or outside.He's soaked up and faced some very respectable punchers from the better known Razor Ruddock,Holyfield,Ray Mercer,Mike Tyson,Frank Bruno,Tommy Morrison,David Tua,Briggs,Klitschko,Rahman save for ONE.....to the not so huge players but good hitters in Butler,Phil Jackson,Michael Grant,Tucker.He may have been moved and effected in spots but He deserves a little prospective.He wasn't exactly being iced by jabs,nor facing lightweights.

Vargas had a glass jaw?!? WTF?
Yeah, I'd agree with the other posters that you don't know the first thing about glass jaws.
:rolleyes:
Re: Fighters you suspect have a GLASS JAW 100%
Also Ali liked to avoid shots and fight off the backfoot in his earlier days and history has shown us that he had one of the best chins/was one of the toughest fighters to ever grace the sport.
So basically I don't really know what you're shooting at here.
Re: Fighters you suspect have a GLASS JAW 100%
There are VERY FEW fighters at or near the top level who have a glass jaw. Most fighters with glass jaws youve never even heard of because the dont usually get too far in the pros.
Re: Fighters you suspect have a GLASS JAW 100%
Most of the fighters you listed Brock have pretty decent chins.
Frank Bruno didn't have the greatest chin, but of active fighters...I have my suspisions about:
Alexander Povetkin - Eddie Chambers hurt the guy FFS
Alexander Dimitrenko - he hasn't been touched by a big timeor even an average puncher yet
Nicolay Valuev - Taras Bidenko, Monte Barrett, and probably some other guys have hurt this big dude
NOTICE I DIDN'T LIST DAVID HAYE.....YET
Roy Jones Jr. - NOW, but during his prime he could take a shot if he had to.
Enzo Maccarinelli - He just can't take a shot 3 losses 3 KO's
I have doubts about Cris Arreola's chin but I am wondering if it's just due to poor training.
Re: Fighters you suspect have a GLASS JAW 100%
I would'nt class Lewis as having a glass jaw he took some very big shots in his great career he just got caught twice by to very big shots when he underestimated his opponents.
Re: Fighters you suspect have a GLASS JAW 100%
Glass chin makes me think
Amir Khan, Delvin Rodriguez and Wes Ferguson.
Maybe you remember Michael Grant as well.

I don't just "suspect" Khan has glass chin. Imo, he is guilty, convicted, and sentenced in that category.
Re: Fighters you suspect have a GLASS JAW 100%
I thought the thread was who we suspect?
I mean saying Kahn and Enzo?? Suspectweknow for a fact they have GLASS chins.
I think possibly Paul Williams i couldnt see him taking AbrahamorPavlik bombs for 12 rounds.
