    Wlad didn't have an iron jaw, but his chin was definitely far from the worst. Slightly below average is minimum. You can't have a worst chin, fight as many punchers as he did, don't get drop for 13 years and never be knocked out cold.

    Seldon fell from the passing breeze of one Mike Tyson’s punches. That’s a pretty dodgy mandible if there ever was one. :)

    tbf, Maskaev's people did him no favors by rushing him back in vs. a big man w/ a big punch so soon after he was brutally KO'd by Kirk Johnson. As soon as Whitaker buckled him w/ a right hand @ the 7:27 mark below, he looked like he got PTSD flashbacks & quickly folded.

    The first name that came to mind was Terrible Terry Norris. Not because of the Jackson loss. Julian could turn anyone's lights out. Simon Brown came up from 147 and put Norris down with a jab. A hard jab but Terry went down hard. He also said that Meldrick Taylor had hurt him, a horrible thing to admit.

    Especially since he Koed Lennox cold who I believe has a better chin than Oleg. Styles make fights.

    Rahman never being able to find that chin is baffling. Also Oleg have a title in the 00s is such an indictment on that era.

    Unrelated but its insane 3 out of 4 of that Light Middleweight square became Journeymen. Hurd, Williams, and Rosario are all finished at the top level and Charlo is all but retired.

    Yep your right mate
    But I'd say he could be hurt easily at times and wobbled or dropped.
    But he had the big balls and hung in there when Hurt.

    True but I legit think that they believed Whitaker posed no threat to him.......................

    I'll never understand that, how either one of those fights turned out.
