    Good list. If you were to expand it somewhat, you'd want to add some other notables like Bruce Seldon, Tommy Morrison, among others

    I dont think Morrisons chin was bad, it was average. His bad defence and stamina that made him get caught.

    Tommy Morrison?? Nah. Not a granite chin but only actually KOed once. Others he kept getting up.

    Dude, I love the Duke - he's one of my favorite HWs, but he had a glass jaw, no question.

    He was knocked out by both Mercer and Bentt (!!!) and knocked down by light-hitting Carl "The Truth" Williams and Ruddock in their fight.

    And this is just off the top of my head. If Tommy didn't have a glass jaw, glass jaws really don't exist!

    We need to see Wilder fight a live body before writing his chin off.

    Is this an all-time list?

    I can't put anything other than Fraudley as #1 although Price does run him close.

    Yeah he's conflating heart with chin... Morrison had a fighting heart but a glass chin. That along with his own offensive abilities was what made him exciting.

    It was exactly that that made him one of my all-time favorite HWs

    That left hook had some impact. The sound that thing made!
