    Thanks a lot Sherlock. Are you insinuating that every fighter is capable of taking the same kind of shots, and that certain fighters are just unlucky in the way they take them? Think about that for a second before responding.

    I couldn't agree more -- getting knocked down a few times and losing a fight or two does not mean you have a glass jaw. In my opinion, a truly "glass jaw" would prevent you from reaching / maintaining any kind of significant success in the pro boxing world against decent competition. A Glass Jaw would quickly derail any real career momentum.

    Jimmy Thunder is someone that I associate with a truly glass jaw. Big, Muscular, Strong and very prone to getting knocked out at any time!

    No, at least half of them are about hating on Floyd Mayweather and select others.

    Tommy Morrison and Floyd Patterson would almost certainly make this hall. Herbie Hide and Audley Harrison would have to be first-ballot inductees as well.

    Hating on Mayweather? You might want to check that before making such a dumb statement. I am a PBF fan.

    Sorry, must be recalling incorrectly. Can't remember who it is you hate on then, I just remember a lot of your posts have to do with it. :good

    I think that its an issue dominated by intangibles but summing it all up with 'chin' over simplifies it.

    Hide has only ever been down once below Heavyweight. He just had no business ever fighting at that weight.

    Terry Norris has to be a first ballot HOF'er in this category.

    Rahman, Fraudley, Herbie Hide, should definitely be first ballot inductees.

    Amir Khan should be a unanimous choice!
