    He was stopped by one of P4P hardest punchers at the time when he fought Tszyu and Cotto with Cotto it was a slow beating. Nothing indicated that he has a weak chin.:patsch

    Hasim Rahman had one of the worst chins I've seen on a top rated fighter.

    How many fighters got completely starched like he did, multiple times, in the heart of their careers??

    Hell, he got knocked right the **** out of the ring once. PURE China in his chin.

    I personally think tales of Hearns "glass jaw" are very, very over rated.

    It wasn't made of granite, but ****ing hell, he fought a lot of tough guys and stood and brawled with them.

    He was KO'd (well, TKO'd to be ****ing pedantic) 3 times in over 60 fights, from welterweight to cruiserweight.

    Stopped by Leonard in the 14th round - how many 'glass jaws' would we have these days if title fights were still 15 rounders?

    Stopped twice at middleweight by guys that are hardly feather fisted - which was two weight classes above where he started,

    won titles at LHW, 30 pounds north of where he started, and finished fighting as an old man at cruiser.

    Hardly ****ing glass jawed IMO.

    Rahman's was worse, as proven twice. Rahman has the worst chin among a top rated HW since Patterson. Nobody got laid out cold like he did. Pure china.

    Guys like Khan, Norris, Wladimir, Roger Mayweather, Patterson, Litzau and Jhonny Gonzalez have or had, truly abysmal chins. You get the impression that any shot could knock them out.

    To be fair though, most of those actually improved at some point, either by defence or not weight draining. In some fights though, theirs was pure glass.

    Roy Jones. Before Tarver in his early career i think he was knocked down by a jab and it looked he was finished.

    its not just about being ko'd imo, its about fighters continually getting put on ***** street and having no control over their fraudulent legs.

    hearns, khan, bruno, and even vlad have proved that they have got guts to try and fight through the wobbles but it doesn't detract from the fact that if you land cleanly on one of these revolting chins, then the fighter will instantly get put on ***** street with no control over the movement of their fragile spaghetti legs :deal

    :lol: Sorry Rock, but that's as funny as ****. Nobody could get KO'd like Rahman, he could do it in style.

    No mention of Ham'n'Eggers yet Zak, you're slipping. ;)

    My man Jimmy Thunder had a bit of dubious jaw (and a bit of a disregard for defence too), but it made him exciting to watch.

    Hatton, though he's not a "top" boxer or anything, so if by "top" you meant over-hyped and mediocre, then, yes, Hatton, and closely followed by Tszyu

    This is not a bad one for those fans of Rahman's chin...
