This content is protected ********************* This content is protected *********************** ****************Punch with Caution!!***************** Some guys who come to mind for me are: * Roy Jones, Jr. * Lennox Lewis * Amir Khan * Zab Judah Add your own.
roy jones moved up from light heavy to win the heavyweight title. lennox lewis faced and beat a who`s who of heavyweight punchers. amir khan yet to be proven. judah been in with at least 10 world class fighters been stopped once. the china chin/bum/etc etc is banded about like confetti, when in truth there is hardly a world class fighter in history with a china chin.
* Marvin Hagler * Mike McCallum * Evander Holyfield * Rocky Marciano * Ray Mercer * Lamon Brewster * Vitali Klitschko And tons of others I'm forgetting For whomever mentioned Lewis, he has two 1-punch KO losses, not a good indicator of a strong chin
Agreed. I think Khan might head the list of top prospects with a glaringly glass jaw, at least at the moment.
That's a good point; it's very hard to 'train' a chin. But you can point out when a guy doesn't have a great chin, just like you can point out when a guy doesn't have a good jab. I don't think that's unfair. Khan is definitely not a joke. He has a lot of talent. I mean, Lewis' chin didn't stop him from becomming what some consider to be a top-10 all-timer. He's just going to have to work with it, I think.
Totally agree. Manny Steward maximized Lewis' talents and covered up his weaknesses. Unlike, say, a Buddy McGirt does with the guys he trains. Which is why I have no idea why Jermaine Taylor won't listen to Manny Steward.
Yeah right, http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=u4SQmxIP5Bk If thats glass it must be of the toughened bullet proof variety!
