    it has everything to do with their teeth. have u seen the chompers on some of these guys? good lord! if your bite doesn't match from top to bottom...it's pretty safe to say your jaw is going to be weak. i'd say start with some good hygeine and take it from there.

    I would also mention Tommy Farr, who had a chin like an anvil.

    When I want to see Glass Jaws get shattered I watch British Boxing and MMA. Guaranteed to see an episode of Shattered Glass on one of those.

    try flossing after every meal. brushing your teeth is not a crime mate! and you don't have to have a pint with every meal! try water once in a while.

    cheers.

    Bob Fitzsimmons in 1897 moved up from Middleweight and won the Heavyweight Championship of the World. Not some paper belt like RJJ had. Did he have a glass chin

    Id like to see GGG try that. How about GGG moves up to Heavyweight and lets see what happens
