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.

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.
Psalm 144: Blessed be the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle
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.

Just had to comment as a fan of Frank, said it here before on other posts, as above Frank just didn't know what to do when hit.Look a the stopages he had, he was sat on the ropes and was taking some full on hits and just didn't go over.So. not so much as glass jaw as a bit clueless !!
Brunos chin was solid
His KO defeats to witherspoon and bonecrusher were through fatigue not becuaes he couldnt take a punch
The KO punch against Lewis was a masisve swinging hook, his whole body behind it, that caught bruno on the point of the jaw, now that was a punch where anyone would have gone from
and his loses to Tyson he froze, he didnt fight well in either, yep he was KO'ed but he stood still for most of the fight, maybe it was all down to how good tyson was first time? second time it seemed to be brunos mental state
Bruno was the best heavyweight in the history of boxing

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.

Glass chin makes me think
Amir Khan, Delvin Rodriguez and Wes Ferguson.
Maybe you remember Michael Grant as well.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
