    Fair enough, a rare grammatical error on my behalf :lol:

    I was referring to the coloqiual spelling on a British forum as I assumed the poster was British. It was not a point on spelling.

    Eubank,Collins and Calzaghe all had good chins.Paul Ryan had one of the worst,good to watch but could fall apart in dramatic style.Amir will never hear the end of the prescott fight,even if he never goes down again.

    Thaxton barely landed anything significant. Murray does not seem to possess an iron ears IMO, have seen him troubled in a fight, can't remember who against mine so discount my opinion if you will.

    Alan Rudkin, bar an early career TKO loss and against a peak Ruben Olivares, showed a very good chin throughout his career.

    Naz had a quality chin, despite the knockdowns, mainly balanced related as we all know.

    Benny Lynch was iron chinned, as was Welshman Tommy Farr, who famously went the distance with IMO the greatest puncher of all time, Joe Louis.

    Just for record, rjj was in his peak against woods, and woods took whatever the **** rjj threw at him, he took johnson also. Woods or eubank held the best chins of any brit.

    To be fair flea i have never seen murray on ***** street, his beard is sound so far. Its not about getting hit with power it getting hit with speed, even so i reckon he would take whatever khan could throw at him, who has worst chin of a pupular brit, for me it would have to be bomber graham.

    What amazing insight. Khan, Haye and Hide's chin are 'suspect'...:shock:

    What is the point of this chin nonsense?

    We have our fair share of Glass Jawed jokes.

    The Chin is the most important attribute for a Boxer to have.

    Hatton has no Chin. None.

    Amir Khan has the worst Chin in the sport right now, being Knocked Down by featherfisted joke Featherweights.

    Herol Graham did not have the worst British chin ever, nor a particularly bad one IMO.
