    Thank you for speaking up. Knowledgeable boxing fans are well aware of how important having a good chin is to success in boxing. Deniers DKSAB.

    Even in Amir's case I feel the glass jaw factor is given too much weight. While he clearly hasn't got a reliable chin, his defensive lapses and tendency to trade when caught are more obvious weaknesses.

    Fantastic thread by a wonderful poster.

    Yes, Glass Jaws do exist in boxing. Some fighters can take a shot, some can't. It's not some black magic or voodoo, it happens right before our very eyes.

    many fighters have a leaky defense but decent chins

    They exist. It's irrefutable.
