Glass Jaws; Picks for 2009

That's skilzzz.

He's still packing Glass :good

 

Your list was great.

Arreola should be off list, he has no defense and eats punches like hot-dogs, so if he had glass chin he'd have had 6-7 KO losses by now.

But the others were excellent picks

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

6 of those 10 fighters he listed got knocked out. 60% rate is pretty darn good if you ask me. A Chin is central in having a successful Boxing career. Furthermore a Chin is THE most important attribute for a boxer to have. We WILL talk Chins on here.

 

60%? That gets you a c at a level. C for Chin right? My god it's happening we're all talking about chins!

 

Jokes aside, I'll express my views and you guys really need to get off your high horses. The pedestal you guys hold yourself on makes you smaller, unless this is all a bit of fun? Because effectively what your saying, is that a fighter you picked to get stopped, got stopped, they have a glass jaw. Ludicrous


Bute stopped only by Carl Froch, a world class puncher, throws a high volume of punches and very heavy handed. Went the distance with
Pascal, who I'm not going to get carried away with, but considering Bute clearly hasn't been the same since the Froch fight, is a fairly decent test of ones chin. Only the second man to drop Hopkins. Kovalev being the third an even bigger hitter than Froch, that was able to take out Pascal fairly comfortably.

Another fighter Kovalev stopped that appears on your list named Nathan Cleverley. Only stopped by someone who is quite clearly one of the hardest hitters in their respective weight class in boxing. In all honesty that one spelled itself out, but hey hoh. Cleverley went the distance with Tony Bellew twice, absorbed a lot of punishment in both fights, but his glass didn't shatter.

Bellew also stopped Miranda when he was clearly past his best, bit nevertheless he has only been stopped by;
Bute, a magnificent uppercut with crazy leverage, which appeared to be unsighted by Miranda. Note he still managed to make it to his feet.
Pavlik, the reigning middleweight champion, also renowned as a big puncher.
Abraham, who again is another big hitter. Managed to go survive twelve rounds with him before their second fight.
Side note - only fighter to last the distance with Big hitting Cuban prospect Yunier Dorticos, fought at Cruiserweight and no offence, he's pretty irrelevant in boxing now.

Despite Darchinyan being 39, a pro for 15 years, minus his last fight, he has only been stopped by Donaire and Walters. Donaire, another man who's punching ability and power speaks for itself and Walters, the only man that has stopped Donaire

Suzie, of courses has already covered Wlad-Haye saving me the trouble, nobody gives a **** about Mundine and Arreola has already been touched on, much like Gamboa who leaves himself open quite often, and was beaten by a fighter 2 weight classes above his original division, who also punches pretty hard himself.

Which leaves us with Khan, who's chin is questionable, but he did survive a bigger puncher in Maidana than Garcia, who put him to sleep with a perfectly timed left hook. I guess Khan or Bute are the closest thing to 'glass' on this list, but every fighter you mentioned a
Has atleast an average chin, many better than average.

I could have saved myself the time and simply rephrased qwert's point ...

The idea that the chin is the most important asset in a boxer completley contradicts these list as your pointing out fighters that have achieved a status in the sport despite having such horrendous chins.
