Chin Talk Special - Ask a ChinChecker a question about Glass Jaws, Iron Chins etc.

Here, you can ask any one of the World reknowned and respected ChinCheckers (Zackman, Rico Spadafora, GlassJawsExist, MetalMandible, forreal, Alien, knockout artist, canucks, and others) a question regarding Mandibular fortitude and punch resistance, and the ChinCheckers will give their expert opinion to you completely free of charge, in crystal clear HD, and what's more - in front of a global audience of millions. :deal

The floor is now open to questions. :happy

 

Good question rocky1. In his earlier days his Chin was cast Iron. But as he got older his punch resistence diminished. He still had a good Chin but did have the propensity of hitting the canvas. He retired at the right time as the right fighter might have cracked it.

His worst KDs were against Byron Mitchell and Roy Jones. He seemed hurt on both occassions but his instinct was to get up, dust himself down, and fight fire with fire. You have to respect that.:****off

So overall, Calzaghe had a decent Chin. Not Iron like other mainstays in his division (Froch, Kessler), but his amazing recuperative powers always saw him come back strongly. :deal

 

Vidic, a case in point would be Fernando Vargas. This man was roided up to his eyeballs, so much so that rumour has it he would **** liquid nandrolone instead of urine.:-(

None of which prevented him from getting brutally and embarrassingly KO'd by ODLH. :deal

So, although steroids can help a fighter with stamina and pain tolerance, if they have a Glass Jaw, they have a Glass Jaw.

That's a tough one McGrain. It's obvious their Chin isn't complete toilet paper as they could withstand some punishment. But their inability to avoid these shots indicates A) A Lack of talent B) A lack of defensive ability or C) Their legs have gone due to punches received.

If it is C, then you would have to have them down has being Glass Jawed, although obviously at the lower end of the spectrum. :deal

This is a family forum. Either come back to the table with a serious question, or refrain from sullying this thread with your stupidity. :-(

 

Like I said McGrain, there is a spectrum. Someone like Roy Jones Jr is clearly off the charts as he regularly gets brutally KO'd by one punch. Now someone who can hold on a little bit longer obviously doesn't have as weak a Chin as that. But the whole point of boxing is to make it the distance of 12 rounds. If you can't because of punches administered to the Jaw, and if that Jaw cracks, then by definition that fighter has a Glass Jaw. Glass Jaws exist in boxing.

As we all know, once they crack they don't come back. :deal

 

Dece Bal, please see my latest response to McGrain with regards to your query. :deal


I must say, we have had some terrific Chin Talk thus far, and long may it continue. :happy
