    I'm just wondering how this logic works in avenged defeats :huh

    McCall had a better chin than Lewis which is why he KO'd him, yet Lewis developed a better beard for the rematch, same thing with the Rahman fight. How about supposed glass jaw Jones V Griffin :huh Leonard V Duran :huh Patterson V Johannsen :huh:huh

    I need help here.

    Zakman was the only man on the board that questioned Audley Harrisons ability to take a punch, didn't you know? Same with Amir Khan, Zakman was the only one that watch the Limond fight and spotted the frail chin :nut

    I'd say ban him but he puts in a lot of time and effort towards my Klitschko fan quote of the week series, would hate to see the demise of that.

    Usually it indicates that both chins were shaky, and that one guy simply got the best shot in first, i.e. Lewis- Rahman or Maskaev-Rahman, or Patterson-Johansson.

    The McCall rematch was more stoppage as a result of mental breakdown than anything else. Clearly McCall wasn't mentally able to be in that fight, or to take advantage of Lewis's shaky whiskers.

    In his prime, Roy Jones didn't get hit enough for his chin to be a factor. Duran quit, he wasn't stopped against Leonard.

    I was one of like two guys who predicted Sprott to starch him, after months of taking **** for saying he had a glass jaw. I was right about Harrison, and I'm right about Rahman.

    I can practically SMELL a glass jaw!!

    There are exceptions to every rule. And it only happened once. Fighters with glass jaws typically get starched multiple times, and brutally. Sort of like, well, Hasim Rahman!!:yep

    Everyone except Superheavyweight said Audley had a glass jaw. Everyone (again, save Superheavyweight) said it was only a matter of time before he got KTFO. Basically, all you did was claim Harrison was going to get knocked out before each of his fights (including, for example, both fights with Danny Williams); it was only a matter of time before you were right. I would hardly call that prophetic.

    By that standard, Mike Tyson has a glass jaw.

    That's just not true. Everyone did not claim that Harrison had a glass jaw, and almost NOBODY did before Williams put him on the canvas. I was out there talking about his china chin when he was getting wobbled by tomato cans, and most were saying it meant nothing. Just like they do when the chincheckers always expose a new glass jaw!!

    Just like the people who said it didn't show anything that Khan was getting matched with guys with two or three KOs early in his career. There were actually guys saying that ALL fighters get matched with extremely light hitters early in their career!!!:patsch

    Oh, and by the way, Tyson didn't get taken out early, or often. In the heart of his career he was stopped only once, and it took ten rounds to do it.

    What a selective memory you have. Brits had been questioning Harrison's chin for years! At least you concede that you predicted he would get KOed in every fight you called. What does that say about your powers of prediction?

    Are you joking? Again, tons of folks were talking about Khan's whiskers before he got starched, tons of folks were talking about Litzau's chin before he got starched. The general consensus was that it was but a matter of time. You think you're the only one who sees a prospect ducking big punchers or getting wobbled by light-hitting journeymen and is able to put two and tow together?

    For the record, I'm not saying Tyson has glass chin. Obviously, he does not. But your criteria is way too vague. For example, look at how many times Rahman hit been knocked out, by whom, and when. The earliest time was in round four against Lewis, one of the biggest punchers of all time. Otherwise, it was against fighters like Olege--not exactly feather-fisted himself--or Tua--another huge puncher. All three times it was later in the fight, and in Tua's case, after some questionable tactics on Tua's part. Clearly, nobody is ever going to confuse Rahman with McCall, and chances are he'll get knocked out by Wlad. But to put him on the same level as Harrison is to engage in needless hyperbole.

    Your memory is selective. I will concede that a fair amount of people were talking about Khan's glass chin - but with Harrison, virtually everyone hotly disputed those of us who said he had a glass jaw early on. Nobody predicted Sprott to starch him. I did! That's in the record. And, as far as Khan, many did argue that the careful matchmaking didn't mean ****.

    Concerning Rahman, the criteria are pretty clear, the number and devastating nature of the knockouts. Rahman doesn't just get knocked out, he gets knocked the f*ck out. And it's happened multiple times. That's the tell-tale sign of a glass jaw. Is it as bad as Harrison's?? No. But it ain't too good, either - and CLEARLY worse than Wlad Klitschko's chin.

    And Wlad doesnt have a glass jaw????rofl I seem to remember him going up and down like a fiddlers elbow. If Rahman can land just one like he did in Lennox Wlad will end up in row 3:happy:shock::lol:
