    Well you can knock Henry Cooper and Lloyd Honeyghan off that pure glass list.In mid 86 to mid 87 no world class welterweight could beat Honeyghan,literally bashed up virtually all the opposition.His later fights he succumbed to the shot fighter syndrome. And i never saw Cooper end up on the deck much,except put over Ali.

    I was skeptical of this at first, that Brits were somehow more prone to glass jaws that other nationalities, but it seems to be true. These British chins are getting shattered at ASTONISHING rates lately.:yep:lol:

    I don't think it's genetic, though - I think it's something in the water and the food. Look at Amir Khan - I mean, his chin is as fragile as they come, but he does not share the same gene pools as guys like Price or Maccarinelli.

    I have heard that the british countries are some of the rainiest in the world, perhaps it is the lack of D-vitamin?

    Good theory. And the idea of rain causing a vitamin D deficiency seems plausible also.

    Whatever the cause, it IS pretty clear there is a pattern of British fighters having poor punch resistance.

    I am going to tell you this right now Tyson Fury will beat any Heavyweight not named Klitschko right now and hes gonna take over the Heavyweight division when the Klitschko's retire.

    Malik Scott he is too small , light weight and weak puncher, he dont throw enough punches . Fury would absolutely school him and batter him. All Scott has is a good jab and he cant use that against Fury because he is 5 inches taller than him and knows how to use his size. Scott is like a taller dumber version of Kevin Johnson basically.
