    I don't think he's achieved enough to reach the questionable threashold.

    I take into account style, defence (i.e. how much punishement they take), KO losses and how devastating they are, and how big of a puncher they get KO'd by. Also, how many times I've seen them hurt from what I've seen.

    Kevin seems to take a lot of punishement, far too much. He's been stunned a few times, but if he was taking less I think he'd hold up well. It's accumulation of punishement that is hurting him. Same reason I did not rate Johanneson highly.

    Mitchell has issues with his defence - which is bloody awful to be honest.

    I agree...Audley has a decent chin, unfortunately its not connected in any way to a heart

    I wouldn't call it "decent". Knocked out cold by Michael Sprott...really?

    Glass Jaw might be a little harsh for him, though. I feel people do overstate his chin. Maybe I'll downgrade him to "2"

    two times mitchells stepped up from fighting euro bums and he gets shook up the two times, i could put money on it, if the fight with estrada went another 5-6 rounds he'd have had to of been stopped on cuts or would have been TKO'd.. he gets hit much to much.. its definitely a shaky chin due to his no defence.. definitely deserves a 1

    I think that his chin is holding up well to his current level of competition, i've seen him take alot of good shots and come back fighting.

    His problem isn't so much his defence, his sways/bobs and rolls are top quality. His main problem is perhaps his fitness. Like many fighters he seems to take rounds off, however during these rounds, rather than moving/covering up, avoiding engagement, he just takes a real hiding, for example the mid rounds of the Johanneson fight. It's only his impressive heart that helps him survive

    Graham Earl's current chin, the chin on display against Henry Castle was not a glass jaw to you? The guy got destroyed in round 1 twice, by "decent" punchers. Currently he is as glass jawed as they come, probably due to being shot and ruined by Katsidis. But like I said, I forgot he was retired so he shouldn't be on here anyway.

    I thought I'd seen it all !

    Audley and the words decent chin !

    Audley Harrison has an a-grade china chin, he got knocked out COLD by non-event Michael Sprott who wasnt even looking when he left his arm out for Audley to hit into.

    How can people deny such OBVIOUS glass jaws ?

    No, I agree with your original assesment TFFP. He's been sparkoed before and everytime he gets hit he simply cant handle it. Difficult to tell whether that is heart or a weak chin. Either way I'd keep him at 3.

    Only reason I would call him China is because he's a heavy. A 15 stone guy could put anyone down if they hit him in the right place.

    Still think his chin in wobbly though.

    To be fair, but for a slow count Amir would have been counted against Limond.

    I actually count that as a loss for Khan.

    So should everyone else

    It wasn't just the slow count, it was the bull**** taking a knee at 7, then getting up and having to be asked twice whether he was OK to continue.
