    Well, clearly we have different definitions of what constitutes a glass jaw. I think if you consult the historical literature of boxing, you will find that mine is more in accord with the way the concept has been understood throughout boxing history.

    For example, Floyd Patterson was often said to have a glass jaw, ditto with Ingemar Johansson, Earnie Shavers, and many others. They all won the majority of their fights. They also got starched quite a few times. That's a glass jaw.

    What's next?? Are you gonna start arguing that Fraudley or Amir Kahn don't have glass jaws because they won most of their fights!!! :patsch

    That's the difference OLEG and RAHMAN have won way more than "the majority" of their fights.

    Have Fraudly and Kahn been competing at the elite level since the guys we are talking about have...??? Have they been hit by the likes of those found on OLEG and Rahman's resume.

    These guys have been popped by a lot of HWs, again not great chins...not glass.

    Maskaev has been brutally KTFO 5 times. Two of those were by journeymen in T-Rex Sanders and Lance Whitaker.

    Peter's stoppage of Maskaev was the weakest of them all. It's the only one that wasn't ugly
