    Make a glass jaw rankings. Been a while.

    Tapia surely ought to be up there as well. Been a while, some glass jaw fights have retired, or have been inactive. A new and updated ranking is needed :good

    Yeah, pure china. Alvarez is gonna shatter that fragile mandible all over the place.:yep

    Man, I wouldn't want to be a ringsider when the shards of Kirkland's glass jaw start flying! :lol: It's likely to be early, very early.:deal

    He just had an accident with Ishida. Other than that hes a pretty good fighter. I reckon he will give a lot of problems to Alvarez tonight.

    Glass Jaw = someone who gets KTFO from a sub-par punch
    Vulnerable jaw = someone who gets knocked down from a decent punch

    Therefore Kirkland does NOT have a glass jaw but is merely someone who has a vulnerable jaw.

    Kirkland Canelo

    "He has a jelly jaw" - Rico Spadafora 2015

    Thankyou for your detailed in depth @nalysis on this highly important subject matter in which you specialise.

    As a Khan fan I expect big things from you leading up to Khan Algieri. I'm sure you will deliver.

    Kirkland's fragile mandible was shattered by feather-fisted Nobuhiro Ishida, multiple times. If that doesn't prove he has a glass jaw, I don't know what does.:patsch

    Kirkland does not have a great chin no doubt but did take big shots off angulo and tapia but won

    1) that was a ref stoppage. Kirkland most likely could have gone on. 2) Why didn't the same thing happened when he faced Alfredo Angulo and Glen Tapia, where he took some brutal punches was even knocked down?

    The Nobuhiro Ishida was due to p***-poor preperation and ONE fight where he gets stopped (regardless if Ishida is feather-fisted) does not prove that one has a glass jaw. When he starts getting repeatedly stopped by sub-par opposition then you have a case. Till then, Kirkland has a vulnerable jaw but not a glass one.
