    I was thinking about this the other day. A few that come to mind are Sam Peter's KO of Jeremy Williams who was not even a heavyweight he was a Glass Jawed Cruiserweight.

    Sprott's KO of Fraudley. Was it really impressive that he KOed a protected Glass Jawed Harrison?

    Prescott's brutal KO of Khan. Sure it looked good but his opponent has a fragile Glass Jaw. I don't think it is such a big deal for a fighter to KO a Glass Jawed joke and then act like it was a huge victory.


    Thoughts?

    Rico serious question here, is the Prescott KO over Khan one of the greatest moments in your existence?

    clearly not. It was the Tarver KO over Jones.

    You have to think things through logically to their conclusions Rico.

    The problem is that if you, as you do, label anyone who is ever knocked out as 'glass jawed' and also hold the opinion that knocking out a glass jawed fighter is unimpressive then, logically, no knockout ever can actually be deemed a notable achievement.

    For me it depends on the situation like Prescott-Khan when he travelled all the way from columbia and no1 ever heard of him and destroyed khan on his pay-per-view debut.

    A victory is a victory. Any jaw looks like glass if it's hit right and you're hating on him.

    I have never said every fighter that gets KOed has a Glass Jaw.

    The examples I provided 95% of Boxing fans knew the fighter that got KOed had a Glass Jaw beforehand. That is what I am talking about.
