    Has to be Herbie Hide, great talent but never seen a top level HW with such a fragile chin.

    Joe Frazier's chin was fine ... Foreman was the worst possible match up for him ... And he came off a hellacious fight with Ali that took a lot out of him

    Ha,ha, you must really hate Bruno, antman. Just how much money did you lose on him?

    Nothing scientific saying people born in Britain develop weak chins, maybe they just get hit flush more, however I did give a secial mention to Moorer, he was really fragile.

    Just feel he wasn`t prepared for big fights and is hugely overrated.

    They fought for the lineal title. You could add The Ring title to that tho it's pretty moot LOL

    Tyson wasn't yet a champion when he fought Frazier.

    As for Holmes, WBC didn't sanction the fight because Frazier was not in their top ten rankings. Had he won, the title would've been vacated.

    Nobody overrates Bruno on here Mark, most know his weaknesses.
    However to mention him in thread titled the weakest chins in heavyweight title history shows a basic lack of knowledge.
    There’s been many with weaker chins than Bruno, his problem was mainly gassing, his chin was pretty sturdy.

    It is much like the argument over which heavyweight champion had the worst power.

    Nobody who acquired the lineal heavyweight title, was particularly weak in this regard.
