    People argued with me over Jackson and I'm gonna argue with this. Benn's chin wasnt brilliant but I wouldnt call it glass either. The only person his chin was really shown up against was Watson early in his career, I genuinely believe this was more due to exhaustion than a knockout punch from Watson. His chin held up against DeWitt, Barkley, Eubank (although he was stopped in the first fight he was still on his feet) and one of the biggest hitters around McClellan. If Jackson hasnt got a glass chin neither has Benn.

    Benn vs Watson was a very entertaining fight.

    jeez. some people make me laugh, how can lennox lewis arguably the best HW champ of the last 20 years be glass jawed. to make such spurious comments you are obviously suffring from assburgers. his loss to mccall prooved that he didn't have the hardest jaw but it certainly wasn't glass. and his loss to rahman can easily be attributed to the height that they were fighting at, i remember it to have been about 6000 ft. rahman had done altitude training an lewis hadn't. besides he was a fighter who took the best punches of vitali (highest ko ratio for heavyweights in history) and he didnt go down.
    on to some of the other ridiculous mentions, how can nigel benn have a glass jaw, he fought some of the biggest punchers around, besides you should watch the video that someone posted the other day when he recalled how hard mcclellan (guy who sparked jackson twice) punched.
    david haye whilst not havinng the greatest chin is arguably not glass, if haye's chin is glass then khan's chin is made of paper or air. i take it that you people haver seen the thompson fight will see that he wasn't sprawled out by the 3 or so solid punches he took, and besides that loss was arguably partially due to exhaustion and inexperience (only his 10th fight) and he punched himself out early.
    i also disagree with vlad having a glass jaw, i mean it's definately not granite but if you watch the fights where he is properly ko'd (not the purrity fight which is also partially due to exhaustion) for example the sanders fight he does take some great shots flush on the chin. and if you doubt the power of sanders then watch the fight with vitali, because he rocks him in the 1st and to some extent in the 3rd.
    phew that was a rather epic venting of my spleen.

    Everyone knows he had a china chin. The one real punch he landed against Jackson in that fight put Jackson out of the ring for almost a year and nearly blinded him...

    And about that Junior remark, you don't know me.

    People always have excuses for some glass jawed fighter getting knocked out. When fighters get KTFO, it means their chin is china, period.
