    When look at fighters with relativly weak chins I think they can be broken down into two categories, ie those with Glass Jaws and those with 'shakey' ones, the difference being as follows;

    Glass Jawed fighters tend to get KO'd from relativly innocuous punches failing to beat the count most the times and example of this type of fighter would be Amir Khan

    Whilst fighters with supposed 'shakey' chins tend to get knocked down often but rarely knocked out clean, a perfect example of this type of fighter is Felix Trinidad.

    So what do people think? is their a difference? are they the same? Am I talking absolute Bull****?

    Gamboa would be a shaky one. Knocked multiple times but never really hurt.

    Lennox Lewis faced huge punches and was down twice, failing to beat the count only once. Expand upon how this reveals a 'tendancy'?

    Edited, was unfair to put Lewis in that category.

    Lennox having a weak chin is the biggest myth and wind up method used when talking about boxing I reckon... Lesser chins would of crumpled when taking a Briggs, Tua, Tyson (yes he did catch him a couple of times!), Klitschko bomb to name a few!
