    Added several more frauds to the honorable mentions list but I'm interested in seeing if you guys think some should be moved off the Top 10 in favor of others in the honorable mentions slot.

    On the subject of cardio there should be a glass lungs ranking.

    I'd nominate Phil Baroni for top spot

    Evans gets badly hurt in nearly all of his fights and normally by ****-poor punches. You know nothing of Chins. Nothing.

    Good thing he fights in mma, instead of boxing where chins are more important.

    You're not an idiot and you damn well know they're important in MMA, as well. Evans' Chin is going to prove very, very important when he faces Jones and he can't outwrestle him and you'll see why when he's doing his stanky leg again!:lol::rofl:patsch

    Chins are an integral part of boxing. It is a sport in which the main focus is getting hit in the face. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Terry Norris would come across as having a granite jaw had he chose to compete in mma. Boxing purposely restricts many techniques to maximize the possibilities of two combatants duking it out. Dexterity, hand speed, and chins are essential to making it to the top.

    MMA is different than boxing. Physical strength can become more of a factor than in boxing. There are many more techniques to defend against. In mma, fighters can clinch after closing the distance and have more ways to avoid getting caught on the chin. That's why some of the fighters you have ranked with the poorest chins around have found away to be on top of their divisions at one time or another. If GSP ever gets exposed for having a poor chin, he'll prove you can dominate the sport without one.

    Now can Rashad dominate without a chin the way GSP may have been doing? No, I doubt it. GSP's stand up is tighter than Rashad's, and GSP is stronger at 170 than Rashad is at 205. Rashad would need a better chin if he can't find ways to excel in other areas.

    Jon Jones may be someone that can avoid ever having to prove how good his chin is.

    You're not telling me anything that I don't know. Superior fighters can overcome a Glass Jaw in MMA or boxing but it takes a very special guy to do so and it is a comparative rarity. More rare in boxing to be sure, but Glass Jaws don't usually make it far in MMA either.

    That being said, Rashad's Chin is going to matter with Jones because he can't use his wrestling to hide it. Jones will shatter it and violently.

    I heard just about every MMA fighter has a glass jaw. Shouldn't this list be longer?

    Glass jaws exist in MMA. It's nothing to be ashamed about. They exist in boxing too!

    Many of them do have atrocious China Chins but this list is here to show the very worst of them. If I included EVERY Glass Jaw in the sport I would run out of text.
