    Khan and Price obviously but let's not go there.

    Let's talk about the fighters with poor punch resistance that aren't as immediately obvious.

    My pick is Luke Campbell, I feel he has a very shaky chin and will be shown up as glass when he steps up in level.

    Add your picks.

    Not sure about the worst but TBE James Toney, absolute granite chin.

    A former middleweight who takes punches at HW no problem. ATG chin.

    Aside from the obvious as you say, Lawrence "bambi legs" Okolie. KO'd in Amateurs, WSB and rocked to his core by a stone-cold bum in his last fight. This guy is a china-chinned disaster waiting to happen. Particularly because he seems to have no defence and walks onto punches.

    I predict Okolie will be Ogogo'd in the sense that he will lose at British or European level before stepping up to world. He is going to give us a KTFO highlight reel worthy glass shattering in the ring, just watch.

    Absolutely agree with you.

    He got his nose broken by that cab driver in the last fight, which was definitely stopped prematurely because Okolie could have been in trouble.

    Okolie just looks like a fighter that has a Glass Jaw? If you know what I mean. I had the same feeling when I first saw Jason Litzau and look what happened there lol.

    But, But he has the "sauce"?!

    Haha I think he's awful and can't see what anyone sees in him other than power. Limited amateur career, being matched v bums then one day he'll have to step up.. recipe for disaster

    Unfortunately he's been added to the Brook card too so we have to watch his stiff, zero movement self box again.. hopefully he gets tagged again to add excitement

    If it's finally the Henshaw fight then I'm mildly excited because Henshaw is a live underdog. He's had ages to prep for Okolie too.

    I could be talking poo here and have no evidence to talk but for some reason I think Josh Taylor might have a shaky chin, not Khan/Price material but enough that a big puncher will stop him, it's just a gut feeling really plus he looks very skinny maybe fragile for the weight? Looks more like a 147154 guy no?

    Interesting.

    Do you think Ohara Davies is the man to expose this?

    I do think Davis is a big enough puncher to do it yes, as long as he lands big shots on his chin obviously. Taylors a good boxer though. It's just a feeling I've got that a big puncher will beat him, we'll see! I could be wrong.

    As a Brit I do find it embarrassing how so many of our fighters are carrying serious glass. They all have jaws that can be shattered so easily.

    The Eggman is the only one I can think of who has a serious cast iron mandible for his weight class.

    Dave Allen has a serious beard on him. Think Peter fury once said you'd have to hit him with a bat to knock him out. Unless you meant fighters at a higher level? Think Kell Brook deserves a mention, stopped on his feet against GGG

    David Howe no question has to get into the top 5! I'm 12 stone and convinced I have a better chin

    Dave Allen, Sam Eggington, Martin Murray, All have absolutely diamond chins. Arguably Brook as GGG couldn't floor him. Chuck Froch in for good measure. Not to shabby.

    I no what you mean though, there are some shockers.
