Great fighter but weak chin

I believe it was 10.

 

You don't think Wlad is any good? I'd certainly consider him great. As far as head to head rankings go, he has to be in the top 15, surely?

And his chin is not that bad. Better than one like Joe Louis', I reckon. Prime Louis would have been out like he was aaginst Marciano, if he had taken a punch like Sam Peter's left hook at the end of the 3rd.

 

Joe Frazier?

 

such bull****, he went 50 fights and touched the canvas once, off balance. in his prime he was never hurt in a fight. all the hate on roy is like saying ali was garbage for losing to neon leon.

 

Wilfred Benitez

 

Yeah, I would agree with this.

Jones chin is kind of hard to assess - but it seems to me most likely that the KOs late in his career were a product of age, weight jumping and loss of reflexes.

As far as I am aware, there is no reason to believe that in his prime he was chinny.

 

Floyd Patterson Comes To Mind......

 

thanks. :good

 

Good shout JT. It's often overlooked (because of his wonderful defence) what a suspect jaw Benitez had.

 

zab judahs chin is always in question

 

Not sure i'd classify him as great tho.

 

Nigel Benn was chinny, and Tommy Hearns is an obvious example too.

 

To be a really great fighter, I'd say requires a pretty good chin.

Thomas Hearns had a dodgy chin.
Floyd Patterson certainly had a weak one.
I don't think either of them would be among the top 30 fighters of all-time.

Roy Jones Jr. - I'm not sure what to say there. He was knocked down once I think, in his prime, and not shook much as I remember it. He didn't take many shots in his prime. There's no much reason for me to say he had a weak chin though.

 

Olivares?
