    I think the term "glass chin" is being thrown around too much nowadays. Every time a guy gets KO, he gets thrown into the glass chin factory. I think sometimes a weak chin has been confused with a weak defence or a single defensive error.

    The question is:

    which boxers have good chins?

    Calzaghe has an amazing chin. And his leg is OK too.

    Shane Mosley has a damn good chin.

    He's only been down once officially - but went down twice in that Forrest fight. It's the only time he's been down professionally and he took some clean shots from some good competition.
