    First ones come to mind are Hearns and Norris.. Wlad too but i think that partly has to do with his conditioning and that he has panic attacks

    Hearns was a wild puncher who could take a punch. He got punchy later in his career but he did not start out that way.

    There has never been a top fighter who had a glass jaw.

    Problem with saying Hearns has a glass jaw is that he was a warrior who took a lot of shots. If he had a glass jaw he could not have done that. He was a lean fighter who had a decent chin for a lean fighter, and he could punch and had the best boxing skills probably in the history of boxing. Hearns took too many punches in a career with almost 70 fights to be called glass jawed, since he was only stopped 3 times.

    Ok watch some Lewis fights mate :yep

    Watch lewis-Briggs taking flush shots off Briggs and walked threw them to put briggs on his arse :yep

    Lewis-Bruno took loads of big shots off frank but wasn't phased

    Lewis-mercer ring a bell :nut

    Did you not see Lewis school murderous puncher david tua ? :yep

    Lewis-morrison :good

    Tyson all though preety shot couldn't hurt him :hey

    And lets not forget Lewis-klitschko if lewis beard was made of glass then surely all those masive shots vitali hit him with would of sparked him, or is vitty not a big hitter :think


    Any heavyweight fighter can get caught, dosen't mean they have a glass jaw, Lewis had a good chin.

    Now amir khan thats a glass jaw you cn be proud of :rofl
