    It's certainly one of the weakest for a fighter that is considered world class only Terry Norris is comparable.

    Well Audley didn't actually have a bad chin he had other problems with his fire and will to get involved and heart.
    Amir Khan was chinny but only world class punches on the button put him over. He got clipped good against maidana a few times.
    So I picked price for worst chin due to every level of fighter that hit him he 2as in trouble

    Good example. Maybe Gamboa in more recent years. Not that I’m comparing him to Norris.

    so were punches by the likes of Breidis Prescott- multiple times, Willie Limond , Craig Watson, Michael Gomez Rachid Drilzane, Julio Diaz
    all 'world class punches' on the button were they lol. You're talking nonsense.

    Prescott had 100 percent KO record at the time the others were flash knockdowns apart from Limond one who hit him on the temple i believe ? Maidana was a world class puncher who hit Khan with plenty of hard shots and never dropped him.

    The difference is Price never went past the domestic stage where as Khan did, and Price was knocked out numerous times with one punch by average fighters.

    I think the evidence of Khan surviving a war against a big puncher like Maidana gives him the edge here overall.

    Prescott was 19-0 17 KO's going into the Khan fight with a completely padded record and since the Khan fight he's had 30 fights and only stopped his opponent a few times.

    And Rachid Drilzane had a 0% KO Ratio lol

    Khan has one of the worst chins ever. It's irrefutable. The guy was on bambi legs and wombling so many times. I remember him getting rocked by the first JAB Prescott threw, and Brook had him dancing in the first round from almost nothing. Can't believe it's 2023 and people can even still argue against this lol

    Yes he had a bad chin no one is saying he isn't......but he has more impressive feats vs world class opponents. And also survived a 12 round war vs Maidana who is a big puncher/world class, and Khan ate alot of hard shots in this fight without going down.

    No one else on the list has had a war vs a world class/big puncher without going down except Khan, so based on that along with his other feats i give him the edge over the other 2 names on the list.

    maybe he was on stronger better peds that night lol. He was wobbling all over the place though and it could have easily have been stopped.

    That night was certainly a one off. Looked like a strong breeze could've KO'd him on plenty of other nights.

    Agreed...khan somehow didn't suffer that night but every other night his chin has been his undoing.

    Garcia's one was on the neck however.

    Always nice for a proper boxing purist to defend another when someone goes overboard

    Harrison lacked heart and Price had no gas tank, they were bigger issues than their chins.

    Yes exactly. Did Price or Audley ever fight at world level and take shots off a world class puncher in a fight they won? This is a question for people stating that Khan had the worst chin of the 3.

    This is why khan was always a must watch. He also won in style when things were going well.
