    I dont rate Zabs chin, but the punch Tszyu got him with was perfect, exactly where Kostya needs them

    He may not be a major player on the world scene but any mention of poor chins has me automatically typing Paul 'Scrap Iron' Ryan, the guy could not take a punch at all. He did pretty well considering
    When God said to the both of us "Which one of you wants to be Sugar Ray?" I guess I didnt raise my hand fast enough

    Junior Jones had an awful chin. It's really a testament to his skills that he was able to beat MAB twice and compete at an elite level for any length of time, considering how badly he took headshots.

    I agree, Zab hasn't got a bad chin, Cotto landed some big bombs and the right hand Tszyu landed on Zab would have flattened The Big Show!

    Yep he had great movement for a big man one of the best jabs in Heavyweight history etc. He also lost a razor thin decision to an aging Larry Holmes but that damn weak chin always failed Williams. Especially against Tommy Morrison.

    No doubt.That was actually a really good scrap....Battle off the thin chins .Tommy got dropped twice in the 5th and they went back and forth.Had some nice tools with jab and footwork and good bodywork but Achilles heel was that beard.

    Have you seen His loss to Mike Weaver?That was brutal and sudden.Williams was putting it on Weaver on the ropes in the 2nd and seemed to stunned him and then BOOM,A perfect left hook by Mike caves the ceiling in on Williams with three KD's.Pretty good upset there.

    Tito Trinidad was not hard to put down. Hard to keep down, but not hard to put there.

    Michael Moorer often touched

    Edwin Rosario,Explosive as any but was buzzed a bit

    I read about a guy waaaay back named "Joe Grim".More of a journeyman that was dropped ALOT by some big names.17 times by Jack Johnson and about 8 times by Bob Fitzsimmons.Only counted over for full count 1 time.It was written that "The brain cells were so small that the nerves were dulled".... I know,not a major guy but more of a WTF thing.

    Major boxers who when they got flushed,went into queer street:
    Duran
    Leonard
    Tszyu
    Lennox
    Tyson
    Jones Jr.
    Walcott
    Louis
    Patterson
    Schmeling
    Oscar
    Trinidad
    Hearns
    Norris
    Etc,etc,etc, As to who had the worst chin,who cares.
    90% of all MAJOR champions at some time got the wobbles after a flush shot. The point being you do not become a MAJOR name in this sport with a Glass Jaw.
