Worst chin for a champion level fighter?

Junior Jones was like a minature Tommy Hearns, with amazing handspeed, one punch power that was for real, some mean skills, but probably the worst chin I've ever seen period. He would go down hard and often out from the slightest breeze to tickle his chin, which was pure styrophom.

Still he was a blast to watch win or lose and had a very very strong resume all considered with W's over Barrera (twice), Canizales, Tracy Harris Patterson etc. etc.

 

Duane Bobick was never close to elite but he may be the only worse chin than Junior Jones.

 

Hearns chin was above average and the shots he took from Leonard and Hagler were huge and multiple and Hagler hit him with lowblows all nite,the Barkley punch would have knocked a heavyweight out,my vote easilly goes to Norris...followed by Jones...

 

SRL was knocked down as much as Hearns was.....and we know he had great chin...

 

RJJ without a doubt sometimes i think he just went down from the breeze of a punch

 

Maybe your right i had to rethink it RRJ got KO'd by Glen Johnson who wasnt even a big hitter at MW let alone LHW atleast Norris got KO'd by big punchers....let me refraise that big...big punchers...

 

Norris. Wet toilet paper.

 

I think its a myth about Roy's chin being bad ( at least in his prime)

 

What stands out here is that Jones is leading in votes for the weakest chin.. But yet he never showed a vulnerable chin ih his prime, wasnt kod until ha was fading. THe other ones were all kod at least twice in their primes.

 

Keith Mullings and Dana Rosenblatt werent hughe punchers. PFP Glen Johson hit harder.. Tarver and especially Greene are good punchers.. Also i remember the mediocre Luis Santana hurting Norris.. Mr cry foul champion was really just a journeyman he wasn even a legit contender.

 

Im surprised that not more people are voting for Patterson. he got put down in half of his championship fights.

 

RJJ chin before the Tarver KO was pretty decent, he was about 33/34yrs at that time, after that then he went down hill.

If he retired after the Ruiz heavyweight bout he's probably voted in the top 50 chins of all time.

 

How would we know about that? Nobody ever was able to hit him in his prime. When was there ever an occasion when he sampled any serious leather in his prime?

 

No ****. It's amazing the lack of perspective people bring to Jones, Jr.

There are things you can criticize him on during his prime. His chin is not one of them.
