    So the Khan thread got me thinking about this: who were or are some of the top fighters that had weak chins but still managed to have great careers? How did they negate their weak chins...with devastating knockout power or slick defense?

    Tommy Hearns if he had a better chin he probably would have beat all the guys he lost to

    Keita Obara would be very good, not necessarily great.

    Do you really think Vlad had a weak chin? He seemed to gas out more than anything - but then again, I’m probably splitting hairs.

    Emmanuel Dapidran Pacquiao.... but I can't really say he was that great, good mid tier fighter with a weak jaw.

    Klitschko???

    Poor lower body coordination along with porous defense and a whole lot of target area to defend....

    Not once has he been dropped and NOT had the MIND to fight on.

    If you really wanted to go full tilt ATG, you missed Tommy Hearns by a country mile.

    He never met a heavy punch he didn't want to go straight to sleep from.
