Not a fan if Nyika. He thinks he's hot ****. Reckons he performed well vs Opetai. Got dropped then got KTFO!!!!!!! Cold!!!!!!!
Johnny Fisher doesn't have a suspect chin. He's got a proven, well documented, certified, case closed paper mache chin. Nothing suspect about it. Bosh.
So basically you just listed fighters that have been dropped and or lost. What a boring list... Add Roy Jones Jr and Amir Khan too.
Michael Zerafa. Put up the most pathetic world title challenge I've ever seen. One two pop from Lara flatlined his tender jaw.
I'll admit there's a few guys with proven glass jaws on that list - and Fisher's certainly one of them. But at one time before their fragile mandibles got found out, their chins were simply suspect!! And yet glass jaw deniers and fanboys of these fighters disputed it -- just like you see them doing so in this thread with other fighters!!
Shakur? He’s been hurt what, once? And quickly recovered no? Is his chin suspect simply because opponents can’t manage to find it?
he has very good defense which is why he’s never had his chin properly tested. He was terrified to engage with de los santos and almost got dropped by a jab in the Zepeda fight. I may not be correct but it’s just something I suspect
He’s high profile enough and has been fighting long enough (amateur and pro) that we’d know if he had a chin issue. Maybe it’s the case that his chin is merely average, but we’d know if he was packing glass, even with his excellent defense and defensive style. I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes his entire career without being off his feet.
Harsh on Huni. He’s been dropped once, against a guy who hits like a sledgehammer. Huni’s chin is solid. Possibly not top tier but it’s not glass either.
Glass jaws run in his family. Look at his brother. This content is protected He's been wobbled a couple of times against nobodies. Also numerous people have talked about how he's been dropped in sparring by Paddy Donovan including Sunny Edwards here 09.45 This content is protected
I think the Zhang fight made him suspect but overall I agree. Even in that fight Deontay was clearly dazed/concussed. We all know he has no problem going out on his shield and he would have if he could have.
It feels to me like fighters aren't allowed to get KOd once or else their chin gets questioned. Not all of them can be superhuman like Wardley, getting stopped on their feet after being beaten half-to-death and still refusing to go down.
