    I'm of the opinion that it's a very childish discussion to have, and if you're really a boxing fan, why focus on the negative attributes a fighter may have, unless you yourelf have gotten into the ring and faced someone.

    I fail to understand why a boxing fan would focus on this topic.

    That's like asking who are the worst skaters in the NHL?

    Who's the slowest guy in basketball?

    Who's got worst arm in football?

    I mean Jesus Christ, can't you find something more positive to discuss in a sport you're suppose to be a fan of?

    Yes, glass chins do exist. Glass chins, just like glass jaws, go all the way back to the beginning of time when it comes to boxing it's just that it not a much discussed topic and probably for good reasons being that if you're a promoter trying to market and promote a fighter who you know personally has a glass chin or a glass jaw besides you trying to do your best to manage his career properly by matching him up against the right opposition you don't want your meal ticket to not be an attraction to the viewing public if it were to become well known that that fighter has a glass chin and could fall if hit immediately or properly and people then don't want to see him fight, especially against an attractive elite fighter on a major stage; i.e on a major PPV bases.

    When it comes to glass chins the two fighters that come front and center to me are Frank Bruno and Howard Davis Jr..

    Let's see. Duran knocked out by Hearns = Glass Chin

    Liston & foreman knocked out by feather fisted Ali = Glass Chins

    Louis knocked out by 185lb Marciano = Glass Chin

    Frazier knocked down several time by Foreman = Glass Chin

    Hell the sports full of China chinned wannabee's.
