    In general. I mean obviously nothing can beat seeing a fraud like Broner get his mandible brutally exposed. But let's say it's a neutral fighter - do you prefer to see a demonstration of an iron chinned warrior or someone who gets his chin exposed for the 1st time?

    Depends if I like the fighter or not.

    Always great to see good chins like Kovalev, Provodnikov Matthysse etc.

    But then someone like Broner or Bellew getting based up is always fun as well.

    It's fun to watch guys with leaky chins but fast recovery powers and good surviving skills.

    To be fair, I rather see guys who can take a massive shot and walk through it - everyone's reaction is "how the **** is he still on his feet".

    If glass chins include boxers getting wobble but difficult to KD, then glass chins is better for me as it adds to the drama of the match.

    A fight between two glass chinned guys make for highlights reels and hilarity more often than not.

    The term Glass chin is invalid...We follow the 1% elite boxers who are better because of superior skills not inferiority

    Negative mindsets that lovers use in everyday life don't exist in elite boxing

    The comparison is whose chin is better, because all champions and contenders have above average punch resistance and it's inaccurate to compare them by inferiority of the chin

    Sorry Zakman

    It depends on how bad the glass is. E.g. Seth Mitchell, he can't take a solid punch without wobbling all over the ring I hate watching a chin that bad. Although I'll never get tired of seeing Amir Khan on noodle legs.

    If the chin is glass like Wilder who is a hype job, got ranked #3 WBC without fighting for it. Wilder refused to fight Chisora or Thompson, yet Solis is fighting Thompson. I think Thompson could be finished after getting knocked out by Vlad two times, but if there is anything left he can beat Solis. I feel sure he would beat Wilder.......................Wilder's next fight will be Christy Martin, Wilder appears to love beating up women, wonder if Wilder would strangle Christy?

    I also love fighters with a good chin, such as Vitali Klitschko...........

    Glass chins, by far. There is NOTHING in boxing like seeing glass shatter! The more brutal the mandible destruction, the better. There is no more definitive or exciting ending to a contest in sports.

    The major problem in boxing today is that we have too many squeamish refs who terminate the action before its natural conclusion - that is, before the glass shatters.

    your a fool to think pac has a glass chin you dont fight fighters like cotto ,margo,shane,morales,barera clottey,ext and take their big shots and have a weak chin pacquaio chin is proven for years

    also haveing 20 pound ib differnce like margo had on pacquaio and him hitting you flush and you takeing it is no easy feat

    pacquaio relied on his iron chin with no defence for years
