What major boxer had the worst chin ever

[Russell88]

I figured you guys would jump all over Gerry Cooney so far I've only seen one put him down.I actually am defending him in this one.All I can say is look he was down against.Larry Holmes one of the greatest heavyweight champions,George Foreman again one of the greatest,Michael Spinks one of the best lightheavyweight champions.I would be glad to be knocked down by any of those fighters.LOL. Anyway you guys pretty much named all the Glass Joe's.

Ugh, Cooney took MASSIVE accumlation punishment from both Spinks and Holmes before going down.

He was coked out and way past his best weight when ATG great hitter Foreman nearly decapitated him.

How do you figure? Jones was not stopped until long after his best days and he had went all the way up to HW then down again....Before that he never faltered...and he has been stopped twice...I don't consider that a bad chin....I consider that old age catching up with him and his body taking too much abuse from the gain and loss of so much muscle mass.

I probably agree with that one... Plus everyone can get caught with a good shot that you're body is not prepared for and you'll go down... Some could say Hatton because he got decked by Mayweather in that case..

I think Roy handled punches pretty well, as age and split second lapses in concentration eventually caught up with him, so did the canvas..

But THEN, we hasn't hit much either..

lol!

He got stopped twice BIG TIME. And he does have a bad chin.

Do you know who owns the best chin? Try looking up Gerry Penalosa's record. He's 36, reigning champ, and has never been down. Just to let ya know, he went toe to toe with DPDL too and he shoulda won that fight.

WHat about Lennox Lewis? He was sparked cold from a few shots.

Lennox Lewis i put in the same boat as i do zab with a lot more.

Because Lewis was great at getting hit with shots you don't see coming. But he was able to take bombs off of people where he saw everything. Anyone's chin can be glass when its not a shot you see. I remember watching Larios and Vasquez fight I think that was the two and one of them got hit with a hard shot that he just fell to the canvas in a heap, and they both had iron chins. I dont remember which one was KO'd badly, but i do remember the thud on the mat

Often I have thought IQ has something to do with it (although it would be hard to prove); it has always eemed the brighter boxers had the weakest chin. :P

MAybe theres a link to the big talkers and loose chins .

Zab is there with bells on still sharp little fighter.

Mundine was classed as glass, but is very skilled.
Look close and it was a temple shot ,that was he stupid fault for going sideways and posing in front of a champion plodder.

Loose chin, loose mind, loose mouth ,it adds up.

Felix Trinidad

Felix Trinidad did not have a glass chin. You see how many punches he took against Hopkins to take him out, even after that he got up but his corner jumped in. That was the only time he was KO'D. How can you say he has a glass chin that is crazy.

Came could be said about Vargas. He only went down to three HUGE punchers.

And the other knockdown was a flash and because Vargas' legs were shot because of the weight loss

[Puya]

After Trinidad hes Jaw bacame fragile.

floyd patterson was down a few times

some of you people amaze me. Tommy Hearns fought for 29 years as a pro.He fought the best of his
era. During those 29 years he had 3 trips to the canvas, one less than LEONARD, and one less than DURAN
one more than TSZYU. Tommy had three legit tko losses, one more than DURAN,and one more than TSZYU
Two of his tko losses were to hall of famers. When you have over 60 wins with an 80% KO rate it means
you spend a lot time in range of counters, three tko losses in countless title fights against some of the
best fighters the world has seen, does not qualify for a worst chin ever list. DUMBARSES.

I'm surprised no one said Roy Jones Jr.

[Russell88]

Out of all the mainstream boxers (not journeymen)
who had the worst chin ever (made of glass). My picks would have to be Terry Norris, Zab Judah, Tommy Hearns, etc etc.

Oh christ...

Such cliched picks for the "worst chin ever" title.

[Dark Lord Al]

Tommy Hearns chin wasnt exactly steel , but Terry Norris had dodgy wiskers for sure , cant think of another world champ with such suspect chin as Norris.
His offence was enough to beat many challengers.
Roger Mayweather also had suspect chin.

[Stanley Steemer]

My good freind from Brooklyn.. Mark Breland had a very suspect chin. Lou Duva's frist World champoin Johnny "Bump City" Bumphus had a weak beard and the "Black Mamba" Roger Mayweathers' chin was as soft as his the pillow he sleeps with.

[brocktonblockbust]

worst chandelier jaws of all-time:

lennox lewis, lennox lewis, lennox lewis, and michael moorer.......... oh yeah, and also tommy hearns.

I'm willin to bet Floyd Jr., too, but the guy never gets hit!
