Who had the weakest chins in heavyweight boxing history?

Bruno was only ever knocked down by Bonecrusher, Witherspoon and Tyson, all of whom were very hard hitting punchers on their day. That don’t come close to making him having one of the weakest chins in heavyweight history. Don’t let your hatred of the guy blind you to the reality of that,Steve.

 

That "honour" goes to Ezzard Charles with at least 29 knockdowns recorded against him:

Logan 3
Fleeman 3
Matthews 1
Andrews 1
Holman 3
Marciano 3
Walcott 1
Marshall 8
Bivins 4
Bengali 1
Fitzpatrick 1

 

That might just mean that he got up a lot!

 

Arthur Pelkey
Bombardier Billy Wells
Fred Fulton
Jack Roper
Richard Dunn
Santiago Alberto Lovell (when he was fighting he was known simply as Alberto Lovell)

 

Lorenzo zanon

 

Eric Crumble and Ed Strickland

 

Bruce Seldon.

He was dropped by Tony Tubbs

 

David Price was knocked out cold by a fat Turkish kebab shop owner who brushed past him in the queue, to pick up his chicken shish.

Price has next level glass jaw.

A Farce has a poor chin.

Anthony Femi Juiceshua reminds me of Bruno. Once he is hit, he stays hit and it’s over

 

Contrary to popular belief, Patterson had an iron chin. It was his balance that was horrible. If one takes a closer inspection on his knockdown, it's either him being off balance or taking a knee to take a breather. As a matter of fact, here's a quote by Sports Illustrated
"Liston is not a notably swift and flashy hitter, but that final left hook crashed into Patterson's cheek like a diesel rig going downhill, no brakes.

Annoyed fans who thought that Patterson should have beaten the count didn't know what they were talking about. There are no fighters extant, and precious few mammals of any variety, that could have beaten the count. The miracle is that Patterson was able to get to his knees."

 

Even that's wrong, He was dropped by Satterfield 3 times as well. Is Ezzard a HW? I always lump him in a 175

 

Wlad's chin problems were exaggerated.

He was never KO'd

 

Oleg Maskaev.

 

"Even that's wrong"??

What's wrong by saying, that Charles was decked at least 29 times in his career? How is that wrong?

Is Ezzard a HW? Well he's a former HW champion - which is your own criteria, when you say (about Patterson): "I think he's the most dropped HW champ ever tho". This was what I was responding to - are you now saying, that Charles doesn't count, because you consider him a 175 pounder?

And I don't even want to get into those 3 knockdowns he suffered against Satterfield...

 

I just don't think that how many times a fighter has been down, is a good measure of how strong/weak their chin is.

For example if fighter A is down three times in a fight, but goes on to win, but fighter B is knocked out cold by the first punch that lands, then by that criteria fighter B has the better chin.
