    Who are the potential glass jaws in 2016? Which jaw is going to get shattered?

    Wilder, Stevenson, Jacobs, possibly Khan if he faces Pacquiao.

    Khan will get shattered and will probably be retired by pac.

    Wilder will get his chin so badly dented he will end up in a wheelchair as his chicken legs won't be able to support him no more. Sasha will wreck that boy.

    Tyson chin will still be shattered all over some pikey caravan site in manchester post klit.

    Froidweather will get his fragile mandible shattered by 3God after berto fight bombs.

    Wards chin will be pasted by kovalev.

    It's going to be smashing 2016

    Jacobs and Khan already have certified Glass Jaws, no reason to include them on a candidates list.

    I completely agree with your choice of Wilder though, all the signs point to a David Price-like sandcastle chin.

    Wilder is the first name that comes to mind when I think of imminent glass jaw shatterings.

    Khan is always there with his fragile mandible, waiting to be shattered.

    2016 might be the year that Ward's suspect chin finally gets exposed.

    a little early for this but I have no doubt you will see Anthony Joshua on there. As soon as he fights someone that can punch back.

    If it's from Kovalev, I'd hardly call that exposed :good

    I wouldn't call him glass-jawed, but I think KOvalev will most likely get knocked out if he faces a big puncher who can also take a punch.

    It's interesting I see Ward fans say Kovalev's chin is suspect, and then I see Kovalev fans say Ward's chin is suspect.

    Which ones gonna go first I have no idea.

    KOvalev fights more often and has harder punchers in his division then Ward. Ward's defense is A LOT more on-point than KOvalev's too.

    Can I ask why you have no doubt?

    Just because a fighter is massively hyped, doesn't mean they automatically have a glass chin.

    Dropped by Nistor, dropped by Whyte. Rocked/wobbled several times in the AMS/Olympics with head gear on. Dropped by Price in sparring.

    So if a heavyweight gets hit by another heavyweight and he goes down, that means he has a glass chin?

    Come on now. We don't know **** about his chin yet.

    You're right, we don't know for sure we are only speculating. But we've seem it time and time again, look Price. Knocked down several times early on and his career and surprise surprise he has an atrocious Glass Jaw.

    Fighters with strong chins don't eat the canvas vs less than stellar competition and people with low KO percentages.
