    No chin or no defense? he seemed to eat a lot of bombs without much protection.

    So your saying that having a good chin means you can never be KTFO or even knocked down :blood

    And no having a chin is not "THE most important attribute for a boxer to have." You can have a weak chin and still have a successful career. Having a great chin but lack of skill makes you a glorified punch bag.

    Exactly. Period end of paragraph. Generally speaking, if you don't have a chin, you are not going to go far in this sport.

    Kirkland in a case in point. Hopefully it wakes the deniers up to the fact that glass jaws do exist in boxing.:deal

    All this patronizing "glass jaw" ridicule really gets to be a bit much. These guys have more physical ability and courage than any of you and probably deserve better.

    The only instances where I revel in this sort of thing is when it happens to truly bad people like that ****** Ayala jr or whatever his name was.

    Yeah, but that doesn't mean we can't be critics. Although they do go overboards at times...
