    Who are the fighters you feel had the occuptional hazard and misfortune of having a egg chin ?

    British or World Boxer.

    Terry Norris comes to mind - he got that egg smashed a few times.

    5 losses - all by knockout.

    Enzo was one of them fighters who suffered a common problem.............a egg chin..................really super duper punch power - but couldnt take it too well themselves.

    Ricky Hattons chin got cracked badly the 2 times he did lose.

    40 year old Vince Philips also had Hatton out on his feet from a uppercut during his WBU Money Grabbing Title Days.

    Are Eggy chins a modern phenomenon?

    Was that the Philips who upset Kostya?

    Obviously, Roy Jones' is egg-shell like, as is Vivian Harris'. Zab Judah's got a dodgy one - but that's more to do with his pain threshold - he can't take a shot cause he just doesn't like it.

    I know what you're saying but that Julian Jackson KO always has me wondering.

    Graham came in completely open trying to finish Jackson and walked straight onto one....Jackson was a massive puncher at the weight, a complete killer

    Herol was certainly not 'chinny'.

    This is what happens when you just watch the highlight reels.

    You do know that JJ is pound for pound one of the greatest KO artists in boxing history right? That shot would've put anyone in ambien land. If you haven't seen the whole fight Herol was actually using ring generalship and schooling JJ for most of that fight. Just what happens when you're in there with a killer as Terry Norris found out.

    Anyway i'm not a fan of these types of threads.
