    Luke Campbell has shown to be packing severe amounts of glass, it'll be exposed brutally soon.

    Price will get shattered again once and for all in 2017.

    I share your well-founded suspicion that glass bodies exist in boxing. In fact, next Saturday could indeed catapult Walters or Lomachenko into the international glass rankings.

    And yet, more and more people seem to be taken in by the glass-jaw deniers who continually come to this forum preaching their false gospel.

    Luckily, we also have brave glass-jaw Paladins like you, Zakman and Rico Spadafora to send them all hurtling back to reality.

    Ertwin, can I ask you a very personal question? Could it be that such vehement denial on your part is due to having a glass jaw yourself? I hope I'm not pouring salt into your wound, but you really should address this problem with a psychiatrist - I can recommend a good one who knows that glass jaws exist in boxing.

    Let me guess: you're one of those trendy hipsters who always try to convince people that "that punch would have KOed anybody", right?

    This type of double-think was undoubtedly caused by a traumatic event in your childhood in which your favorite fighter got knocked the f##k out. Your young brain could not handle the psychological weight of the event, and so it opted to change the narrative, convincing itself that glass jaws don't exist.

    Interesting you immediately jumped to the assumption I don't think glass jaws exist - they clearly do. That's blindingly obvious. And you talk to me about narratives. No, my point was simply glass jaws are easy to spot and it takes no particular knowledge of boxing to do so. That was my narrative and one I'm sticking to. Especially the narrative which resides between the lines...

    Maybe the person who coined the phrase "Eyes are the window to the soul" was thinking the same thought! Window, glass, you know! You may be on to something!

    What's happening in your brain is what psychologists call "Acute Alternating Glass-Jaw Tergiversation", a phenomenon in which the patient alternately confirms and denies the existence of glass jaws in boxing. Deep down, you know they do exist, but your fanboy nut-huggery for a specific glass-jawed boxer occasionally makes you deny their existence.

    You should see a licensed glass-jaw psychiatrist.

    I have a bad chin thats right. I boxed from my 14 birthday to my 20s and thats the reason why i find it so incredible inappropriate to call somebody a glass jaw who fought at b or a level. In my gym were plenty of dudes that were quite stubborn and hard and none of could handle the toughness of a good pro, i witnessed that.
    You also can not imagine how much harder pros hit. I fought and sparred a few very good amateur and a pro and none of them is even close to the punching power of a hard hitting world champion. In addition to that the pros have their hands tapped in a way that makes the punches so devastating really ,a big diffrence to the single amateur bandages.
    It is really pathetic to call a person like wladimir klitschko a glass jaw only because he got koed by BRAWSTER SANDERs or Purity those guys have such dynamite in their hand you can not imagine how hard those fukers have to hit.
    All you do is doing some bad psychologyst jokes. You guys arr sitting to much on boards and youtube and after sometime you really think that you could take the a level punishment.
    If those guys have glass chins then we have got salt rod chins

    I can't approve any list that doesn't have Ismayl Sillakh at least in the top 5. I'd previously ignored his chin issues because his KO's were against punchers, but then this happened....

    Other than that, good picks.
