I definitely have Jones in the #1 spot.
Kirkland and Khan are a bit high, IMO, and Bute a bit low. Of course this list is subjective and has Knockout Artist as a voter, so I take it with a grain of salt. |

Khan, I can see being placed lower, but Kirkland? Absolutely not. He got dribbled off of the canvas like a basketball by a Feather Fisted Japanese guy who had KOed 7 guys in 30 fights. He also got flattened by the very first power punch that landed against Angulo and nearly got himself KOed there. He has no skill and no Chin. None. The only person I see seriously challenging him for his Glass Jaw Title right now is RJJ if he takes the Wlod fight or Wilder if he ever fights anybody that wasn't pulled off of a honky tonk bar stool in Alabama.

Finally!
I have to say, this was the first time I have submitted my rankings into the poll and it was very difficult indeed. There are so many glass jawed frauds in boxing that it's hard to just pick a top 10. I feel my list was acceptable though. |

The Rankings were compiled via poll from ESB's most esteemed Punch Resistance Experts, there is little chance of error here. Glass Jaw Roy does have one of the worst Chins in Boxing today and had he been KOed by that Feather Fisted Pole I have no doubt that he would have been at the very top. However, he managed to barely avoid being flattened which is more than can be said for our current #1 Glass Jawed Fraud Kirkland who was brutally KOed by a Feather Fisted bum with a similar KO %. Rest assured, if Jones takes the Wlod fight, he will likely be back in the top spot.

Personally I don't think Khan should be above Macarenelli, but this list has taken into account the opinion of several esteemed posters.
Roy's chin is terrible, but I can't see James Kirkland being knocked off that top spot for a long time. You would have to scour hours and hours of fight footage, dating back several decades to find a display of punch resistance, worse than Kirkland against Ishida. He got floored by a jab! The only incident I can think of that's comparable is Kimbo Slice against Seth Petruzelli, but that was in MMA. Terrific work once again MM |

Seriously, Kirkland's chin REDEFINES the glass jaw scale. It may be the worst chin I have ever seen in 35 years of following boxing. |

I think Glass Jaw Roy would have taken the #1 spot had Feather Fisted Glazewski KOed him (and he nearly did!) and I can also see him taking it if Wlod brutally KOs him simply because he will have been KOed more times Worldwide than any other fighter I can think of, but for now Kirkland is clearly the man to beat. I've never seen a display of Punch Resistance as pathetic as that that he put on against Ishida. He was literally dribbled off of the mat like a basketball and taken out in one round.
