    David Haye's chin is worse. Barrett knocked him down........pretty pathetic.

    Junior Jones.

    Knocked out 5 times in 6 career defeats, knocked out Mckinney early, Morales blew him away, and some lesser names like Pinckney and John Michael Johnson also stopped Junior. In his fight against former Bantamweight, every shot seemed to move him. Suffered numerous knockdowns throughout his career. He really couldn't take a very good solid shot, but almost inexplicably, managed to beat Marco Antonio Barrera, not once, but twice.

    I dont think Rosarios chin was that bad he took alot from Chavez before being stopped and also took shots from Ramirez in their 1st fight and Ramirez was a pretty big puncher. It was at the end of Rosarios career when his chin was kind of shakey.

    Howard Davis Jr. would've likely gone further if he'd had a better chin. I seem to remember reading that he went on a talk show (very early Letterman?) & slap-boxed with the host and was dazed when the host tagged him. I don't remember where I read this. Can anyone confirm?

    lew jenkins is similar but a lot of his ko losses are down to him being drunk:nut

    :lol: I suppose being wankered all the time doesn't help your case. It's bad enough seeing a pisshead getting duffed up down the local working men's, never mind in a boxing ring.

    Larkin was a nightmare to outbox though by all accounts, a really good fighter with just one major shortcoming. Not like others.

    in a sport with so many colourful characters lew jenkins is always considered one of the wilder ones.one of my favourites.
    carmen basilio and fritzie zivic spoke highly of him,praising his courage.

    That counts for something coming two tough old *******s like Basilio and Zivic, who were never ones to hand out praise readily.

    Booze has affected a few good fighters in their prime.
