who has the weakest and the strongest chin in boxing history???

Considering the lighter weight classes for the weak chin department, Pone Kingpetch (Thai) and Koichi Wajima (Japan)..both lost their titles multiple times by knockout, and were decked frequently.

 

Another iron chinned fighter in the lighter weight classes is Injin Chi - man that guy was tough as nails...

 

:blood

Not a fan of asians or something?

Kingpetch didnt have a weak chin really...Pone got iced by two of the greatest flyweights ever but also went the rounds with some excellent fighters.

Wajima I wouldnt say really had a particularly weak one either..When you consider his style, he was probably going to get stopped at some stage. For the record most of those losses seem to happen late in his career..when Im sure he would have pretty shopworn.

Two fairly weird examples I must say mate.

 

My eyes! not another chin thread!

Wait until ESB's Trinity of Chin Fetishists arrive...

 

Yes there are still not Rico and the Shater glass

 

I think the Cintron knockout affected his punch resistance more than the Williams beatdown. That was one of the most brutal knockouts I've seen in the past few years.

Either way, Matthysse's punch resistance (or lack thereof) is alarming. Not only does he get knocked out, but he gets starched...

Larry Holmes had a great chin.........he took a monsterous shot from Shavers and got back up......I thought that punch was going to kill him!

 

I've posted many many times of howw highly I rate Fighting Harada as an alltime great...of how I think Pacman is the best p4p and is my favorite fighter..so you've missed that huh? If I name those two fighters as examples, it's based on a correct observation, and though it wasn;t pertinent to the post, I'll add that both suffered most of these ko's at the hands of other Asian fighters..to refernce what I said, check it out..both guys were ko'ed 3 times apiece in those bouts where they lost their titles. Lennox Lewis lost his title by a ko and his detractors won't leave him alone about having a "glass jaw"..what if he had lost his crown on two other occasions, both by knockout? It's an indicator of not having the best chin..leave the p.c. crap alone please. If I have more time later I'll try to come up with other examples, and I'll make you happy probably by in cluding non-Asians.

 

Man dont get me wrong..I was only poking fun about the asian thing. But its obvious you just trawled through boxrec and found some guys who had been knocked out before. I dont think thats a fair observation.
Really lets face it if these guys chins were so terrible how could they have possibly risen to the heights they did...being multi champions and holding wins over often very good and even great fighters.
Actually watching these guys fight on film, their lack of chin isnt the first thing that would come to mind believe me.

The answer to the question of the thread would be the fighter with the weakest chin in boxing would have never amounted to anything...he certainly would have not gotten anywhere close to what these guys achieved. These guys for the most part were stopped by fighters of high quality...Kingpetch especially.

Even if the question was "Which world champion or elite fighter had the weakest chin ever ?" I still wouldnt pick these guys.

 

lamotta,mccall and mccollough had great chins.

NO FEAR. SHATTERED GLASS IS HERE. I AM BACK FROM BANNED CAMP...!

I would say the strongest chin would have to be Hagler and LaMotta (for the 'known' fighters). Although there will always be less well known fighters that I am sure had GRANITE CHINS ENCASED IN CAST IRON REENFORCED WITH TITANIUM ALLOY chins.

THE WORST CHIN OF ALL TIME goes to Amir Khan. Never seen such glass chined hype-jobbery ever in boxing.

 

Strongest = Jake LaMotta

Weakest = Amir Khan or Roy Jones Jr.

 

HAHA. Man. I just got back from my ban... that was random as hell we posted at exactly the same time! I think the word CHIN in the title just drew us to the thread lol!
