    Reading through this forum, all I seem to hear about is british glass (and polish glass, but I guess that's a different discussion). Being a patriotic brit, I find this deeply upsetting. So could someone tell me about British fighters with good chins for a change?

    Froch is the only durable guy you have on the World level right now. I hate to tell you this, but the Chincheckers have done an in-depth study that has revealed 95.8% of Britons to be in possession of a Glass Jaw.

    Ricky Burns has a good chin. The knockdown against Martinez was a blip in the first round but shouldn't discount how tough he is.

    At the moment, Froch and Ricky Burns are the only two I can think of on the world stage; Cleverly is pretty untested but I wouldn't be surprised if Kell Brook ends up in some really tough scraps at world title level. Fury went down a bit too easily for my liking not so long ago, so I'd love to see him fight David Price, that'd be a good test for both fighters.

    That's like asking for a nun who sucks good dick. You can find them, but it's difficult.
