    Why even bother asking? Thaxton clearly has a glass jaw because he's been stopped so many times, Maccarinelli clearly has a glass jaw because he was stopped by Haye, Hatton clearly has a glass jaw because he was stopped by Mayweather, Jennings clearly has a glass jaw becasue he was stopped by Cotto.

    I doubt he'll even respond.

    I think he only cares about RJJ and his apparent glass jaw.

    Rico = Zakman?

    They both are obsessed about chins, both determine the winner of every fight by how good each fighters' chin is, and they both have passionate hate for Max Kellerman (but then again who doesn't?)

    They are all glass jawed for the simple fact they are British/Irish?

    He thinks the basis of judging RJJ's chin is getting knocked out by a big punching, prime & talented light-heavy in Antonio Tarver after shedding 18 pounds of pure muscle, and then getting knocked out by Glen Johnson, who he regards as feather-fisted. This is the gauge of the guy's limited boxing knowledge.

    I will do the best I can as I have not even heard of several of those guys but that does not mean they do not have a good Chin.

    My answers are above in Red.

    How has Hatton got a Average/Shakey chin?

    1. he blocks with his face
    2. He's been KO'd once.
    3. He's barely been down in his whole career.

    So why is Thaxton's chin average, why is Hatton's shaky and why is Maccarinelli's glass exactly?

    What fights give an indication of this?

    Not bad to be fair.......

    You do underrate Woods, Tarver hit him with everything and never looked like stopping him.

    I am just not high on Tarver. Especially since that was a faded Tarver Woods fought.

    I remember I thought Dunne had a lot of promise back in the day. I remember ESPN even jumped on his bandwagon they showed several of his fights. I think his stamina did him in in one of the fights I saw.

    "Amir Khan Glass Jaw. One of the worst in the History of the Sport for rated fighters. A total disgrace."

    C'mon Rico there must be some other chins to compare with, you're trying to tell me in the long history of boxing there have been no one round crumble KO's?

    There's been loads, Khans talent is the problem.

    If he was utter **** every one would forget, but he aint ****.
