    Well, I knew that when I took on this assignment to promote this thing. UK posters, for whatever reason, seem be my harshest critics anyway, so I happily accepted. I revel in their hate, makes me all the more certain I'm doing the right thing!!!:happy:happy

    Some of those knockouts were brutal, though. Especially the Enzo one. It's not exactly laughing material, is it.

    Or you're wrong?

    Look at some of the guys in the video. I don't care if they've been knocked out, guys like Uzzy and Danny Williams are incredibly tough. They'll take a beating and not stop coming forward. Posters who get annoyed with you, do so because they respect that fighting attitude and don't like to see you mocking them. It's not because you're right at all.

    No question there are some great, tough fighters from the UK. There are also some with some series china in their mandibles, particularly in the HW division.:yep

    If I was doing the editing, I would have probably included more Fraudley and a little less Danny Williams. But these are minor quibbles, and overall, I thought our director, freetoroam, did a fine job!

    The only glass chins in that video were Hide and Harrison. Hide's chin is abysmal and always has been.

    A guy like Danny Williams getting knocked down/out, doesn't mean he has a bad chin.

    Danny Williams chin, while not on the abysmal level of Harrison or Hide, isn't that solid either. Again, I would call this a minor quibble. He got taken out several times in his career, against quite a few different fighters. There's something of a pattern there, don't ya think???

    There's more to be found in him taking enormous beatings. There's a knockout in that clip of him against Mark Potter, where his shoulder was dislocated and he took a beating for a long time before landing that one shot. Through his entire career, he took too many shots but was never knocked out cold. Even when he was truly shot against Chisora, he didn't get stopped clean.

    He's the toughest heavyweight of the modern era.

    Keep up the good fight, Zak.

    When will people learn that some fighters can take a punch better than others?

    Probably never, but keep going.

    It's my life's work. I started the Chinchecker movement here to raise consciousness about the importance of punch resistance in boxing. Now, with new additions like freetoroam, with this outstanding video, we are taking this to new heights.

    Hopefully, the Glass Jaw Deniers will wake up. If not, I will keep trying!!!

    fantastic movie footage.

    hopefully this movie will have educated doubters that there is an epidemic of fraudulent glass jaws in british boxing.

    my only dissapointment was that herol bomber graham wasn't shown but the frank bruno one was ****ing hillarious. bruno's chin was an embarrassment not only to britain but to the sport of boxing, and men in general.
