Lets talk about Glass Jaws

Rico is that you?

 

Amir Kahn chin

 

Pacquiao and Pavlik both have good chin.

 

That is an excellent framework, with fighters categorized appropriately. You are a valuable addition to our ESB Chinchecker ranks!!! :good

 

Nope. But I could not have said it any better myself. It was a great post. :good

 

you have froch in with the best chins in the world.. ?

who has he fought with serious power, that has tested his chin like the way some tested abraham or mccalls

 

:good

 

OK lets talk ... do you have a glass jaw?

 

How about No, lets not have another Glass Jaw discussion for the 42,234 time and say we did!

 

I agree with your post in general, but if one looks a bit deeper, it's overly simplisitc, and you don't have all your facts straight.

We have to look at the over all context of the situations where fighters went down or were hurt. Abraham/Miranda I is a good example. If that fight had happened in Atlantic City, Vegas, New York, or any other respectable boxing town, it would have been stopped, and AA would have a TKO loss on his record. Even Smoger would have stopped that travesty. Abraham has fought exactly ONE big puncher, and he got his face busted. With a lot of help from the referee and ring side doctor he made it through, and was awarded a gift decision. That hardly qualifies a fighter for the Iron Chin Category.

Pavlik has been down 3 times not 4. Against Zuniga he got caught cold by a left hook he did not see coming. His ass hit the canvass, and he slid a good 3 feet across the ring (the slo-mo is funny as hell.) He was up at a 2 count and proceeded to obliterate Zuniga's face over the next several rounds. After the fight he admitted that he did not take zuniga seriously, and did not train hard. He vowed never to make that mistake again, and he has not. In the McKart fight one glove brushed the canvass. No one would have complained if the ref had ruled it a slip. against Taylor he acted like a dumb ass and dropped his hands and stuck his chin out. He got hit 15 times, and 8 shots were smack on flush. In the very next round he handed JT an ass whippin' that not many fighters would have survived.

Pavlik took the same shots from Miranda that turned Abraham's face into a busted up mess, and never took a step back, or even blinked. Pavlik turned Zuniga's face into something that resembled a bowl of stewed tomatos. Arthur was allowed to side step Zuniga, who was the rightful mandatory, and fight Elvin Ayala; a man with a 36% KO ratio. There is absolutely no justification for the claim that AA has an iron chin and then calling KP's chin shaky. Your not keepig things in there proper context.

 

where do you think tyson stands in this list? i know he was ko'd a few times but he was one tough mother!

 

Nice post!

I would put Mayweather in the unknown chin cate.... his chin was rarely tested. I have all his fights and have only seen his legs buckled one time against corely and he was compose rally the storm. I definitely agree that his chin is solid, maybe even in good chin cate but we will have to wait and see.

 

the man got world class chin. just not a world class brain.
