    Doesn't matter and provided one's boxing skill is adequate even the glassiest chin can be overcome :think

    Somebody tried convincing me that this was true today.

    Thoughts? :deal

    I asked Zab on a live podcast whats the hardest he's been hit and he said it was ward with a body shot. Think around the 6th round towards the end of the round, you can see he was in trouble.

    Why the hell was Ward fighting as a southpaw?? Zab always looks good when he's confident & cruising, once he starts getting caught & pressured he just crumbles

    It was a good performance, given he was only 19 and up against a tough veteran like Micky. Plus he showed he could recover from a good shot, at least back then.

    Ward was a C-level fighter that Judah matched up very well with. It isn't that impressive.

    Zab's chin wasn't THAT bad.

    Plus, Ward's not exactly the most skilled or talented fighter. Judah has better wins than that.

    That's right, use an example of a Glass Jawed Fraud beating a journeyman in a lame and blatantly obvious attempt to discredit the fact that Punch Resistance is critical in Boxing.:lol::rofl:patsch

    Glass Jaws Exist. A fighter with a Chin as ****-poor as Judah's has a huge disadvantage in any sort of competitive match-up with someone who does not have such a disgraceful Glass Jaw and one need look no further than Tszyu/Judah to see this. Judah was beating him up handily in the first round and looked like the wholly superior fighter only to be knocked down three times by a single punch in the second. A lack of Chin cost him that fight and that is not up for debate. Judah is a joke. He has a Glass Jaw, Glass Heart, AND a Glass Body which means that he has more Glass in his body than the Louvre Pyramid.:lol::lol::lol:

    The Fact is Judah is Two weight class Champ. it is pretty good accomplishment. He really had Great talent in him I dont know his weak mentality was his downfall..? He just could not put his **** together and mentally fold.

    Titles dont mean ****. At 140 he won some belt and got KTFO in the second round by the division best.
    Moved up in weight, lost to the best guy in the division. Wins the rematch and totally underestimates Baldomir.
    Zab was at his best in only a few fights. The ***** was a cocky ******* and a mental midget.
