    Hide is the only fighter I have seen literally KOed by the wind of his opponents punches. His Chin was awful.

    Hide is often overlooked when talking about Glass Jawed fighters, his chin was terrible.

    Wilder comes to my mind in this one
    Dustin Nichols knocked him down via jab.

    Good call.
    Hide's chin was atrocious.

    Tommy Morrison deserves a mention.

    Zora Folley deserves a mention too.

    Ali knocked him out with a slap that barely hit him.

    Gerry C00ney, another "white hope" with a left hook and a glass jaw.

    Duane Bobick.

    You're right. Folley had a very shaky set of whiskers. In fact, that's probably what prevented him from reaching the "next level" of HW achievement.

    I always laughed at Williams as there was nothing that was "the truth" about him. :lol::rofl

    :lol:

    The truth was he couldn't take a punch !

    Williams versus Tommy Morrison was battle of the glass jaws. Although to be fair, he was washed up by then.
    Morrison v Hide would have been fun at that time.

    Yeah, he had a very good skillset, but that chin let him down several times.
