Wake UP! Glass Jaws Exist in Boxing!

there are a lot of those types on here. :deal

 

i have to say that khan may actually be the worst. barring what roy jones has become (that's NOT the real roy), i've never seen a fighter whose is hurt easier than khan. it's not just prescott the knockout: it's being stunned by a ****ing jab. even soft chinned cats like floyd patterson, norris, etc. showed they were capable of wars if they had to

 

Yawn. I debate things. The fact that I can express myself and write cogent paragraphs shouldn't worry you so much. What is pointless? Having lifetime bets with other posters that you have no intention of honouring?

 

Im all for a bit of glass jaw humour here and there. I just don't like it when its all someone talks about and they forget to appreciate skills that are blatent to see.

 

So why obsess over it? You post as if it is the be all and end all in a fighter. And Patterson was a lesser extent than Lewis?:roll:

Lewis was KOd once, and TKOd once when up by the 6 count. He avenged both losses and took clean hard shots from the likes of Mercer, Vitali, Bruno etc and went nowhere. Patterson had a far more vunerable chin than Lewis.

The point is that if somone is rocked or dropped before fighting the elite, you write them off. You bang on about how long you've followed the sport and yet cannot seem to see that a guy being hurt and shaken by a fighter does not mean he is doomed to be a nothing.

If Clay vs Cooper had happened now, you would be shouting on here about Clay being a glass jawed hype job who would be KOd brutally the moment he stepped up to fight a top tier Heavy. You would have predicted that Liston would murder him and after the first fight you would be predicting that it was a matter of time before Clay/Ali got exposed for the china chin that he really was.

And you know that is exactly what you would have done and yet you still seem incapable of therefore seeing the woeful myopia of such a view.

 

But that's not being right. If you predict someone will lose 15 times in a row and you're wrong and then they lose on the 16th prediction, that is not even close to being "right" with your predictions. It means you were continually wrong because you focused on one aspect of the fighter.

Oh and you were not even close to being the "first" person to say Harrisons chin was shaky. People called it on the Brit forum after the Ellis fight which you didn't even see, because it wasn't shown in the US.

And when he gets starched by Haye...so what? Haye is a banger. You also said Haye would be starched by the first heavyweight he fought. It just shows a ludicrous obsession over one aspect of a fighter and it is odd given that you have followed the sport for so long.

 

In depth? You're a broken ****ing record. Seriously Zakman, 3-5 years ago you used to be a fairly good poster as long as the subject wasn't on Lennox Lewis. Ever since, you've grown into an obsessed, repetitive troll. Don't even get me started on the embarrassing Zelenoff episode..

 

Fact: If all the chin checking obsessive compulsives died, this site would be marginally better.

hats off to the quality of posting in this thread arty

zakman, 46, rico, and nohomejerome have devoted they're precious time educating forum members about the existence of glass jaws and it has been an absoloute priveledge to sit here and read this outstanding thread in its entirety

 

they are specialists in this area that is unquestionable

 

If it's so central, how come almost all those guys you listed had what I'd consider to be VERY successful careers, and made a lot of money, while holding belts.

If it's so central, then why did they make it that far?
