    Tabiti!?
    He got iced when he appeared quite tired against someone known as the ****ing KO Doctor. If he was glass he'd have displayed it elsewhere. It was a lovely shot too, not some glancing punch.

    Groves did not have a glass jaw. Froch could bang and Callum Smith is a freak.

    I don't agree with Joshua, Groves or Spilzka being on the list

    Joshua went down 4 times and got up 4 times after eating clean shots that would KO most guys.

    Spilka was too lax against a volume puncher who carries power and ate one to many

    Groves was caught with a perfect shot on the button by a MASSIVE light heavy who carries a lot of power, and should most likely move up in weight.

    Whereas Amir khan gets caught by the odd one shot and he is already in trouble, Amir Khan is the epitome of glass jaw I swear to god... all these mexican beast that brawl and throw bombs, eat shots and move on... Amir Khan gets hit once in a brawl and HP goes down to 5%

    Joshua and Groves no. Szpilka absolutely. He gets put down and hurt very easily, even in fights he's winning. If he had a decent chin he'd have a lot more success, because his skills are actually pretty good.

    Exactly. Tabiti walked into a flush right hand from a massive KO puncher when he was already weary and in the middle of throwing a shot himself. Very few fighters would be able to withstand that shot in those circumstances.

    AJ is surely interestly because let me tell you Wladimer was landing BOMBS and he took them

    I think AJ really has a problem with conditioning and stamina probably due to his steriod use (allegedly)

    I think AJ actually has a not bad/decent chin, he took bombs from Klitschko as @TEAM_LOMA mentioned - these same shots have sparked other fighters. I think he just lacks skill in the defense department, mainly head movement and footwork - and of course Stamina is an issue, looks to me like he went down due to tiredness a couple of times against Ruiz, didn't look majorly hurt...

    Is Groves included because of the likelihood he's still shook up by Smith's left hook?

    I think he's a bit sturdier than a lot if not all of these guys, even in older age. He took a pounding from Seldin. Definitely a glass jawed fighter though - always has been.

    True. Zab was never a top 10 glass jaw. He never was really stretched out and he ate bombs in his career. Thinking about it, he's chin isn't really bad. It's average.

    He also had elite skills which helped him protect it a bit better than others. I think it's glassy but far from the worst around.

    Szpilka not glass. Are you kidding me? He's one of the finest examples of Polish glass of any fighter. If his chin isn't glass then no ones is. I'd say the guy would have won some fights hes lost(maybe all) if his chin was better. He's a much better boxer than Kownacki and he was outboxing Wilder. His glass chin let him down on both occasions.

    Joshua was just stopped in a fight he was heavily favored to win, going down several times in the process. He definitely cracks the top 10 on that alone. His resistance was always suspect to many experts due to incidents in the amateurs as well as earlier in his pro career.

    Come on man. If Groves had a better change would have come out on top against not only Smith but also Froch, hell even Jack. His chin has been a huge hindrance. It thwarted a solid career from being a great one.
