He's now delusional and coming back at 175lbs. The tards in the Brit forum have been discussing a possible Cleverly-Enzo "world" title fight.
C'mon Zak... You know I got a problem with this list... My boy does not belong anywhere close to that list.
He got taken out brutally by a guy with a 50% KO rate, and has looked kinda shaky since. I'll admit he's on the cusp of inclusion, which is why he's at the bottom of the list, but that's it.
The term glass jaw is pretty cool I like that. Also love the fact Amir Khan is up there I don't like that guy much. But there is a point i would like to make, one that might help with this glass/no glass jaw disagreement you guys are having. The main reason for which a punch hitting the jaw can knock you out is because when struck the jaw sends vibrations up the skull into the brain, these vibrations are in turn what cuts functioning short for a second and causes you to lose conciousness or at least makes you go woozey. As some boxers do seem to posses less of an ability to take a punch to the jaw there are several physical attributes that can be considered in order to explain this. Specifically structure of the head. Each person is genetically different and no one's skull is identical to someone else. This could mean that some people have a head that is actualy better constructed for absorbing punishment. Also how the brain reacts to these vibrations is important. Some people may have a larger amount of fluids perhaps cushoning the vibrations more while some may have a brain that is able to take more trauma before short circuting. Although not quite the same thing, an example that i can use is one that I saw in a television program. I believe this was "Stan Lee's Super Human's" though I am not sure. The program featured a man who was able to hammer a large nail into a plank with his forehead without being knocked out or in fact even becoming dizzy. The reason for this was that this mans skull was at places much thicker then the average persons allowing him to recieve more punishment without being knocked the **** out like a normal man would. So in my opinion I do agree that the glass jaw exists. Some people are simply born with a structure that simply does not allow them to take the damage that others do.
One punch does not a glass jawed joke make, my friend. He has taken several good punches before, and several since then.
Thank you for your excellent contribution! It is clear that you recognize the importance of punch resistance in boxing!:good
Good to see you at work Zak its time for some chincheckin' indeed. Love the list...and love the avatar!
Did you even read what I posted? THe problem isn't the chin but rather the leg strength. I agree windmilling punches do not have as great effect as a clear, concise timed punches. The shot khan got hit with in the 10th was a clear, concise and a timed overhand right with all of maidana's weight behind it. So tell me exactly how does Khan go from getting floored by willie limmond with 5ko's to taking everything from maidana with 28ko's. Don't tell me you think willie limmond hits as hard as maidana :nut Then also tell me how does khan take pacquiaos shots in sparring but get floored by the likes of craig watson in the amatuers.
Glass Jaws exist in Boxing. Punch Resistance is the most critical attribute for a fighter to have. You can come up with every excuse you want but when a fighter keeps getting KOed over and over it is because they do not have a Chin. Simple as that.
Yes, my friend, it is as simple as that. Boxing fans in my day recognized this and weren't afraid to call a glass jaw when they saw one get shattered. They also LIKED to see them get shattered. Today's boxing fans can't seem to grasp the CENTRAL importance of punch resistance in this sport, and they ***** and whine when fights are actually allowed to go to their natural conclusions. It's maddening!
The explanation is simple. Maidana doesn't really hit as hard as advertised, and sparring is NOT an actual fight. I'll tell you one more thing, too. Khan's glass jaw WILL get shattered again, and when it is, all of you who got CONNED by the KHANMAN will look quite foolish.:deal
