Examples of a Glass Jawed fighter beating a legitimate power puncher?

Tommy Morrison vs. Foreman, Ruddock, union Cane..

So what, if he didn't have a good chin he wouldn't have been able to take half the punches he did against heavy-handed fighters who tagged him with their big shots.

If you're going to be so simple and manipulate the numbers game, then I could argue the following champs had softer chins since they were KO/TKO more than twice in their careers, whereas Lewis remained at two his entire career:

Joe Frazier
Jack Johnson
Mike Tyson
Sam Langford
Jersey Joe Walcott
Floyd Patterson

But of course I wouldn't do that, because that is just as illogical as your twice-ko nonsense.

 

:deal

Zakman... These ****ing Brits have nerves to call Wlad Glass Jaw..

Just watch Wlad's losses and compare them to Lennox Lewis losses.:yep

Both Got Chin checked, one was laid out with one single punch twice...

Lennox was also badly rocked almost every time he got decent shot to his chin.

 

Lennox Lewis vs Most of his opponents same goes with Wlad.

 

Exactly. Unlike Lewis, Wlad has not been knocked out cold. Unlike Lewis, he was able to get up and continue. The key indicator of a glass jaw is not the quantity of the KOs, but the quality. You hit Lewis with a good punch, fight was over.

 

Good points Zak... You are Keeping it Real:good

Wlad and Lewis both are Awesome Boxers but nonetheless weak Chinned one's but that could not stop them to become Great(Wlad is yet becoming Great.. maybe one day...)

 

Yeah, exactly. No one is saying Lewis isn't a great boxer. He just had a shaky chin. As you note, in some respects that makes his achievements all the more impressive. Steward was really able to teach him to protect those fragile whiskers.

 

I mean he is known to have been knocked out by fighters with less skill than him. This makes the Tua fight, and the fact that he kept his composure when he got tagged more impressive.

 

The question of Peter's power is complicated. His technique is poor so his loaded punches rarely ever land. His best knockouts appear to be from illegal, behind the head shots, too.

But, on the rare occasion that a punch of his does land it seems to be pretty powerful.
