Fighters Who Unfairly Have A Weak Chin/glass Jaw Tag

Both RJJ and Floyd have this tag and don't deserve it in my mind.

 

tommy hearns. beaten from exhaustion by leonard no shame in getting ko'd by hagler, and barkley had very good power.

 

Zab Judah comes to mind for me yeah he got hit hard by Kosta Zoo but that's boxing, it could happen to anybody. He was able to go 11 rounds with Miguel before the ref stopped the fight. He went the full distance with Floyd and Junior Witter. Wht sux is that anytime theres fantasy match-up thread involving Zab everything is Zab gets KO'd which is unfair.

 

edit

 

Its the fashion he was dancing around the ring after the Zoo KD that will always live on.

 

Yeah no doubt, but the ref owed it to Zab to at least let him fight on to the next round because he was the draw in the fight not Kosta.

 

i always felt cotto had a good chin but just cant get out of the way of some shots...no chin can take shots flush all night and win...impossible. he is a great athelte a destroyer and an ass kicker

 

terry norris. never would of been in danger his whole career if he boxed but he went on these stupid aggresive manuva's for no reason. throwing wild shots and then tires and then clipped with a combo.

the most renowned norris fight is when he got koed by jackson. but people forget that he got up....the guy ****ing got up


good call about lewis. the man took heavy shots form hard hard hitters...he just got countered technically against mcCall when he was comeing in. got up on wobbly legs (i would of stopped it personallly) good call or bad call he was still able to get up from it. and the rahman fight. tch tch tch the guy just seemed to keep him at a distance and play with him...not even dominating just winning rounds. then rahman seemed to say oh **** it and threw a shot, lennox leans back and finds out he is on the ropes...cant get out of the way and is completly side on with the shot...and in that hasim was no powderduff. down you go



odd one out is michael grant...now he is a bit breakable. he has little defence and coupled that he can be dropped by rather light punchers he was goign to get dropped. but how people seem to say how exposed he was startles me he got caught and comes back. that isnt a glass chin that is a MDF chin it can be cracked but isnt the be all and end all.

floyd patterson seems to get called on how he got dropped by everybody even a debutent. but he was a small guy bulking up to a big mans world...he was off balance alot when he really swung for the rafters and was rarely out on his feet. he would just drop. like he did agains tali after a flurry of jabs and rigth hands he just drops. i wouldnt call it sturdy but he isnt the softest chin in the division.

 

Getting wobbled by Baldomir did him no favors either.

 

Good enough for me. He was in with some heavy hitters. His defense was good enough to keep him out of harm's way most of the time but for the most part, he took his share of punches and handled them well. McCall just happened to land his punch first and Rahman caught him with a big shot. Lennox did NOT have a glass chin.

 

Cotto and Pavlik both get labeled with the glass chin tag even though both have been clobbered by some very heavy hitters, and neither has been beaten let alone knocked out.

 

It pisses me off so much when both of them get labeled. :twisted:

 

Cotto and Pavlik both get labeled with the china chin tag even though both have been in with some very heavy hitters but neither has been beaten, let alone knocked out. But that's life on ESB! I once read a post that said Ali had a china chin!!atsch

 

frank bruno gets bullied on how he got stopped easily...sadly enough the guy was a man mountain and never clinched and never fresh after 5 rounds. most of the stoppages he is on his feet and pretty concious. against lewis he was totally exhuasted looking at his corner at times.

mel taylor has been labeled glass jaw by i think zakman or amsterdam
