Examples of supposedly glass-chinned fighters eating big punches well?

Glass chins don't break any more predictably than they hold together.

I have seen Audley Harrison take punches that looked like they could fell an ox.

 

For a modern fighter, Jorge Linares had made a fine career for himself after multiple durability related career setbacks...

 

And no one ever said Vitali had a glass jaw!

 

Tony Zale said he hadn't seen many glass chins ,but he had seen a few glass hearts!

 

Danny Williams always seemed quite fragile in the chin department but took some awesome shots against both Vitali and Mike Tyson.

 

He took everything Holmes had to offer as well.

 

Felix Trinidad in his fights with DelaHoya and Vargas. Both were good punchers at their respective weights. He also took alot of stiff punches from full blown middleweight Bernard Hopkins till late in the fight. Tito`s chin and heart were impressive that night if not his game plan.

 

Hearns vs. Barkley in the rematch. I was surprised how many hard punches Tommy took. he did not have a glass chin.. I think his chin was not rock, but he was not weak chinned.. Not really. If he were he would not have lasted in fights which gave us great outcomes.

 

Mike Tyson is one I keep seeing people saying had a glass chin when he took some huge shots from berbick and Ruddock, his punch resistance left him after years of drug abuse, alcoholism, and getting chipped away by great fighters.

 

When Nigel Benn had been dropped by Logan, stopped by Watson and Eubank there were always questions about his chin. In his next twenty fights of which 13 were world title fights he only saw the mat twice. Both against Gerald McLellan which he came back to win

 

I think the weakness of chin sometimes happens to big punchers like Hearns or Benn, who were so involved in punching, they were shocked by counters. Later they learned to withstand harder punches by being a little less reckless with experience. Which is a great thing to see. Great fighters improve and learn..

 

I don't think you'll even find Tyson haters accusing him of having a glass jaw Grape. Even against Lewis he soaked up some big shots.

 

When he was fresh he took big shots as good as just about anyone, when he gassed, and his body went limp, he was vulnerable.

 

Even late in the game it usually took a bit of a volley.

 

True his style did not permit him to stay out of harms way when hurt, he had to keep coming. And because his attack was so ferocious, like a kamikaze attack, it was nearly impossible to outpoint him. You had to really beat him up, dominate from the opening bell and stop him to win.

Thats what made him so exciting, especially once his defense and jab regressed, there was almost a guarantee with every fight that you were going to see a display of animal-like brutality that you rarely see.
