    No it's not, Hears was only KOd in his prime against 2 hardest hitters in boxing, Ray Leonard and Hagler. And his first KO against Leonard, he was getting hit with huge shots and it took 14 rounds to get KOd.

    There are no glass jaws that make it far. Some have shaky chins but they aren't absolute glass.

    Ricky hatton comes to mind to an extent anyway.
    Hearns
    Roy
    Wlad is the best example I think, bad chin, great defence

    Mayweather has a solid chin... not that he needs it anyway.

    Wlady definitely doesn't enjoy being hit on the kisser. Just so big and awkward, good defensively, it's not easy to land solid.

    Pacquiao, but still fails to compare to Mayweather's legacy.
