The worst chinned fighters to win a linear world title?

Rocky Graziano? Tough fighter but was kayoed by Zale & Robinson badly. Although he did stop Zale.

 

I find your choices baffling,you first picked Stracey ,who had 3 kos against him in 45 fights,his loss to Palomino was as a result of body punches, his loss to Green was after he had been butted and had a lump on his head like an ostrich egg.Stracey went 12 with Palomino before succumbing and 10 with Green ,when he was a bit past his best ,his other ko loss was rather early in his career.
Now you pick Graziano ,who was kod 3 times in 83 fights twice by Zale ,one of which was a body shot ko,and once by SRR both Zale and Robinson were heavy duty punchers. atsch

 

Way to call him out. I got to agree. Graziano certainly was no Lamotta but he took some big shots and he could take a punch. Certainly not a good nomination. I would list his chin in the good category before the worst/worsts. Maybe that's generous, he is certainly no worse than average.

 

Wasn't sure, thats why I put the question mark. What I saw of him in his biggest fights, that he was Kayoed. Plus I once read in a boxing magazine that the rap on Graziano was that he was a big puncher with an average chin.

 

Nothing personal ,Graziano was not a great fighter he was a great puncher ,but his chin was sound enough,as his only three stoppage losses in 83 fights prove.

 

Terry Norris. :deal

 

Hearns , Jackson , Benn , Nunn , Charles - all had much better chins than norris. just check it.
jackson and benn were not linear champions.
