    Name heavyweights who really couldn't take a punch, not necessarily a champion, but has to atleast have a Wikipedia page.

    Carl The Truth Williams. He seemed to have everything else.

    Davaryl Williamson. Chris Byrd said Williamson was the hardest puncher he ever fought, and that he knocked out Hasim Rahman cold in sparring, but Williamson didn't have the chin to be a great fighter.

    Herbie Hide and Bruce Seldon - beltholders.

    If we talk about fringe contenders, then Richard Dunn and JP Coopman, both were KO'd in 1-2 rds multiple times, often by weak opponents.

    Bob Satterfield wasn't the most durable of fighters,but that may have been down to his party animal lifestyle?

    David Price sounds right. Glass Chin, Ultra Low confidence that drains his gas tank of nervous energy

    Carl 'The Truth' is a good one. I was also thinking about Fred Fulton, Bombardier Billy Wells, Jack Roper and Arthur Pelkey.

    Many good choices here, but, Bruce Seldon has to be number one. As intimidating as he looked, he was routinely dropped by a slight breeze.

    Herbie Hide.

    David Price was never a contender.
