    has there been, in your opinion, world champions with both poor punching power and a bad chin...but yet skillful enough to be a world champ ?

    like a poor chin, maybe khan....and poor punching power, say, mallinaggi...

    but who has had both ?

    Sturm´s chin is average but not bad.
    Ward has average power and a decent chin.
    Stieglitz has a average chin and slightly above average power.
    Mundine has slightly above average power.
    Zbik´s chin is still untested.
    Foreman´s chin is in question but not proven as bad yet.

    Fail post.

    Absolutely not. Take a moment and think before you post.

    I can't think of anyone. Not distinctively bad in both areas anyway.

    marvis frazier i suppose. he beat some top ranked fighters, but his chin let him down once he stepped up against the real elite such as tyson and holmes. his power wasn't that great either. you can probably come with better examples than that if you really gave it some thought.

    some stupid ones mentioned though such as whittaker, calzaghe, and so on.

    A bit? Whitaker had a very, very good chin. And he had pop, ask Hurtado. He just rarely commited to his punches.
