    other than Amir Khan.

    I was sitting around thinking about another Glass Jaw candidate and wondered who else could be considered.

    Audley comes to mind.


    Thoughts?

    Fraudley is always a candidate for any glass jaw list, but I'd probably have to go with Rahman. Fraudley didn't get stopped this year; Rahman, however got wobbled by the light-hitting Taurus Sykes and James Toney and then taken out by Wlad.

    Now, THAT'S a glass jaw. So my nomination for china chin of 2008 (excluding Khan): Hasim Rahman!

    Isn't that more of a sign of a shot, punch drunk fighter?

    Rahman's fought well past his expiration date. His brain's now cottage cheese...

    Litzau got brutally KOed again this year didn't he? He would be another pick.

    Do you consider a fighter's chin to be the most important attribute?

    there is no question.

    Having a Chin enables even an average to mediocre fighter to be able to stay in a fight and get a KO over a much superior skilled fighter with a questionable Chin.

    Yes. Jimmy Thunder would have been bigger than Tyson if God blessed him with a Tua-like beard.

    Do you have to use capitals as well, it is bad grammer, squire.

    Not really my favorite subject but because of the importance of having a Chin.

    Skills can only take you so far. All the skills in the world mean squat if you have a Glass Jaw.

    It is important to be well rounded.
