    Can you guys name your top 3 very good fighters, that could've been great had they been born with a better chin.

    Not that he didn't accomplish a lot already but a better chin wouldn't have hurt for Terry Norris.

    I don't know if he would've been great but Augie Sanchez was a very promising amateur and had a punch and some skills but his chin was useless.

    Rafael Ruelas was better than Sanchez but his chin let him down big time in big fights with De La Hoya and Tszyu and also against Mauro Guttierez earlier in his career.

    Mark Breland probably fits the thread pretty well actually.

    He was rarely hurt in his whole career. It was his awkwardness that saw him off balance, caught and put over, his lack of technical nuance that saw him in those positions.

    If he'd had an iron chin, he still could've been outmanouvered.
