Glass Jaws Exist in Boxing!

Chin analysis is my hobby, not my vocation. But, after many years of following the sport, I have developed some expertise.

And one thing I can tell you definitively, based on this analysis, is that glass jaws most definitely exist in boxing, what the fanboys and deniers might try to tell you to the contrary!!!

 

Hell yes, they exist!!! And, lots of fighters have them. Just look at what happened to Abraham Nova last weekend. Clearly he has some chin issues!

 

Thanks for your interest in this topic - it's an important one. And since you ask such serious thoughtful questions, let me give you a serious thoughtful answer. Virtually every fighter has some issue with punch resistance - which is what my comments were intended to convey. Now, some have more serious problems with staying vertical during a boxing match than others - these are those with the most fragile mandibles.

Now, I suppose you could define "glass jaw" as encompassing ONLY those with absolutely worst punch resistance - guys like Fraudley Harrison, Amir Khan, Enzo Maccarinelli and the like - but my own view is that is too limiting a conception. As I see it, generally speaking, if you can't remain on your feet in boxing match, your whiskers aren't the greatest. So in sum, I would indeed assert, as you suggest, that the fighters with truly solid mandibles are few and far between. George Chuvalo is most certainly one of these.

 

That they do my friend. The deniers will bleat on and on, asserting without any evidence to prove it that "that punch woulda KOd anyone" - but a true chin analyst knows better.

 

What about Fraudley Harrison? Surely he existed!!! There reverberations from when he hit the canvas against Michael Sprott are still being felt years later!!!

 

Now THAT'S a paradox!!

But I will still insist, glass jaws exist!!
