    A common trait in a punch resistance denier is that their hero indeed suffers with a glass jaw himself.

    I've never heard a Marvin Hagler fan, a George Chuvalo fan, or a Oliver McCall fan claim that glass jaws don't exist in boxing, but ive sure as hell heard Roy Jones Jr fans, Amir Khan fans, and spaghetti legged Thomas Hearns fans try to shut down knowledgable glass mandible discussion.

    Punch resistance will always be a huge facet of the fight game, there is no better discusdion than a highly educated chinchecker identifying and predicting a glass jaw before it has hatched, and no matter what the punch resistance deniers say, we shall continue to discuss them here on boxing 24.

    A Chin is perhaps the most important attribute for a fighter to have. Glass Jaws exist and despite the delusional fanboys on here we will continue to discuss them. Chin Talk is a staple of this Boxing Forum. Always has been always will be.

    Khan has the worst chin I've ever seen.

    It's not just that his chin is bad. Khan is a triple whammy of a weak chin, bad defense and bad recovery skills.

    Not biased at all, and certainly not spiteful - particularly NOT to glass jawed fighters.

    I LOVE glass jawed fighters, in fact! Without them, we not get to see so many of the spectacular KOs that we all enjoy!

    I remember when it was Amir Khan and a boxer named Juan Manuel Lopez from Puerto Rico..

    Glass jaws exist in boxing. Absolutely they do, they always have, and they always will. Why anyone would ever try and argue otherwise is baffling to me as a boxing fan spanning more than several decades.

    There is a reason Floyd Mayweather Jr identified Brain, Chin and Heart as the three most important attributes for a top level fighter. Take any one of the three away and you CANNOT become an elite fighter.

    By the same token NONE of the true elites have ever had glass jaws, except Roy Jones Junior but he spent most of his career fighting firemen and pizza logistics technicians.

    Glass jaws exist in boxing, yes, it is true.
