    Henderson was shook in that fight, he was clipped by punches and hurt, then kneed and then went to the ground.

    Am I wrong? Haven't ever watched the fight again.

    To be honest with you Jimmie I had forgot about Jens shaking BJ! Mind you it was some time ago! As for worst, that blow Lutter ko'd Eastman out with does entitle Marvin to serious "Worst chin" consideration.[/quote]

    Tell me about when I bought UFC 50 on DVD 3-4 years ago I was stunned when I saw that KO. Not because of its brutality neither im like whooooa that dude wasnt even hit. I slowed motioned it and it looked like the knuckle part of Lutters glove just grazzed Eastmans nose. At that point I was laughing and actually inviting people over for them to take a look at it.

    He was hurt thats why ive never thought much of Silva choking Henderson. Silva caught him standing and you could see it in Hendersons next takedown attempt he was gunshy at that point.

    Damage over time is a great point especially for a guy like Hunt. Not only was Hunt put to sleep by Manhoef he was also dropped by Mousasi. IMO theres so much damage to his head/chin that at this point his punch resistance has weakened much like a guy like Fujita or even Cabbage.

    Hey Jimmie, how about Don Freye? Not only was he imo as tough as anyone, but I can't remember him getting dropped and he was in some wars!! I recall Shamrock snapping both Don's achillies tendons (and Don still won!!!) but didn't Ken take Don down to slap on those nasty heel hooks?

    No mate I think you are bang on!! Jimmie had just made the same point regarding Hendo in his fight with Anderson. I watched the fight, but I was undoubtedly "Refreshed" (5am uk time:)) and like you I haven't watched it since.

    :lol:

    Seems like such a nice dude.

    But he always seems so brutally laied out every time he gets KO'd. Like he is about to go to autopsy.

    I always laugh at big huge guys that have Glass Jaws. Pitiful.


    I would say Big Baby and Kimbo are two of the worst I have seen ever.

    I thought that but then Kimbo took some nice shots against Alexander. Still not a good chin, but not on Big Baby's level :deal

    Strong: Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone (Takes a licking and keeps on ticking.)

    Weak: Jonathan “The Road Warrior” Goulet (He would be a top 10 WW if his chin wasn't glass.)
