    Hearns is. When I think of glass chinned, I want definitive proof, with the fighter being stopped in his prime and wobbled often. I don't believe in trying to prove a negative (IE, Jones WOULD have been hurt, he just wasn't hit much.....impossible to prove that).

    Nice pick.

    Although when it comes to Hearns, its not as if he was being tagged by average fighters. They were GREAT fighters, some of which could really BANG. But his legs weren't the strongest, and he sure would wobble when he got connected with. :lol:

    Chico Corrales and Acelino Freitas come to my mind.

    Sorta mean. I don't think many guys have glass chins.. If you are going by guys that got knocked the **** out, but were great fighters.. There is such a thing as having an average chin with weak defense.

    I'd have to say Mike Tyson and Terry Norris.

    Miguel Cotto. If you were paying attention during Shane's fight Shane kept revealing a secret. When he hit Cotto to the jaw he put him in trouble. There was a split decision in which Cotto would be stunned but Mosley would not go in for the kill. This happened time and time again. If it was a young Mosley that precious time would have been caught. Did anyone else see this? It happened very often and Mosley kept passing on the oppurtunity.

    RJJ is not glass chinned. He was only ko'd because he was past his prime.

    Well, if it's about truly greatb fighters, I would say Joe Louis. Wlad will most likely be considered great after his career, although I think he has an average chin, rather than glass.
