    It's been quite a while since I have seen a decent chin discussion on here, and i'm going to change that.

    What do my fellow chin checkers think of these rankings?

    #1. Amir "con" Khan* emeritus champion*
    #2 Seth Mitchell
    #3 James Kirkland
    #4 Fraudley "A-farce" Harrison
    #5 Roid Jones, Jr.
    #6 Deontay Wilder
    #7 David Price
    #8 Chad Dawson
    #9 Andre Berto
    #10 Enzo Maccarinelli

    Honorary mention for Adrian "glass jaw" Boner

    For the most part these rankings reflect on how shaky the chins on said fighters have looked recently. most of these guys have had their fragile mandibles shattered, or at least cracked this year. many names are interchangeable, so please don't hesitate if you don't agree where i've ranked a particular fighter.... Typically Enzo would be much lower on the list, but he hasn't been down in nearly two years and therefore has moved up a bit in the rankings.

    NO list can be complete without Adrien "Glass" Broner. Pure glass! Could probably trace his heritage back to the UK! Went down on a punch KHan took! LOL

    Wilder may be packing glass but he hasn't been exposed yet or even visibly hurt in any of the fights I've seen of him.

    Audley's chin is pathetic. One of the worst I've ever seen and Kirkland to his credit was bombed out by Ishida but at least the guy gives value for money because if he's gonna go he's going out swinging, his fights with Tapia and Angulo were classics.

    Right. I thought about adding him at #10, while his chin is china I still think Boner has a way to go before cracking the top 10 glass jaw list. There is definitely a solid case for Boner to be included on this list, but I just don't think he's done enough yet.

    Are you kidding me dude? Wilder was floored by **** poor Harold Sconiers, KO'd by a russian CW in the amateurs, rocked by a Firtha jab, and arguably knocked down by beached whale Dustin Nichols. That chin is china, and would have been shattered by now if not for the level of opposition that Wilder has faced thus far. But believe me, in due time Wilder will be at the top of the glass jaw rankings.

    That's about right for Khan and Mitchell.

    Kirkland has a horrible chin until he gets rocked and then it's vice versa. So I don't know, he has a horrible and great chin?

    Harrison is about right I would probably consider him 3rd.

    Roy.... Well he's just done so I wouldn't even afford him a spot on the list...

    Wilder is suspect we'll see soon...

    Price is done... His chin is horrid. I would place him #5 for now and bump the rest back.

    Although his past two fights have ended in a KO I don't know that I would consider him a top ten glasser.

    Berto at 9 is about right.

    Knock Enzo off insert Broner.

    Why do the 'chincheckers' never discuss iron jaws? Serious question.

    The list is simply not credible without Broner at the top. He got dropped twice by a man who couldn't drop Amir Khan with his sunday best punch. Nor could he drop Average Alexander or Shot to **** Morales. He would've likely been stopped if it wasn't for his play acting in the 8th.

    Other people that need to be on there:

    Ismayl Sillkah- he would be an incredible talent if he had any chin whatsoever.
    Kevin Mitchell- Got stopped by featherfisted bum Ricky Burns
    Allan Green- Get's KO'd everytime he enters the ring these days

    Maybe his chin is as good as Jake Lamotta's and he's the future of boxing

    :conf
