if there was a Glass Jaw Hall Of Fame who would be the first people inducted? My list of current fighters: Amir Khan Jason Litzau Hasim Rahman Roy Jones Jr Wlad Klitschko Audley Harrison Zab Judah Thoughts?
Jones was taking clean shots from Tito and Joe and never looked staggered. Get off it dude, Jaw's not glass. The Tarver shot would've KO'd alot of fighters and the Johnson punch was on the side of the head. But Kimbo would have to be in there! I know he doesn't box, but we should still consider his application.
I don't think so. His 1 KO loss was more a stamina issue... I think we need to see him a few more times before we call him that.
I think the whole concept of 'jaw' in boxing is ridiculous and ill-analysed. Jaws dont have anthing to do with anything. It's to do with the brain crashing into the skull. What happens when fighters are apparently knocked out with minimal absorbtion is that they don't see the punches coming; the brain does not have time to adjust to the impact and loses sudden equilibrum. It has to do with timing and style.
Rico, out of curiosity, why is a boxers chin the most intriguing part of the sport to you? Do you have some sort of complex about it? Did you get knocked out and humiliated as a kid and forever after, despise all chins in history? And to answer your OP, Amir Khan would be a first balot HOFer.
I've bashed Wladimir for having a "glass" chin in the past, but I would say it's pretty solid, not great but solid.
i am not gonna use words like dickhead here but will try to explain to you why Graham didn't have a bad chin.The only time he was really knocked out was against Julian Jackson who happened to be 1 of the hardest punchers of all time.Graham was enforcing his will and advancing forward which is a bad idea against a powerpuncher.All Julian had to do was set his feet and BOOM....lights out.... If you see the stoppages against Grant and Brewer you will notice it was an accumulation of punches in both fights that caused the stoppage,not to mention that his legs were shot in the Brewer fight.A prime Grant would have toyed with Brewer. He had no chin a la Chuvalo or Jorge Castro but it was far from bad.
