    I hate to say so and so has a "terrible" chin or a "glass chin" because it takes balls and heart to step into the ring, but I'd have to go with

    Don't forget Amir Khan, and that's just being honest.

    Very good call.

    And if Tommy "Gunn" Morrison ever gets back to real boxing, he has to be placed on the list, IMO.

    Neither did Wlad. He wasn't knocked cold. And Rahman did hit the deck against Sanders, too.

    The bottom line is that Rahman's been stopped more times, and more definitively. You've never seen Wlad knocked right out of the ring, or out cold on the canvas.

    Wlad's chin isn't great, but it's nowhere near the Grade A China chin that Rahman has.

    Judah's chin ain't that terrible.

    It's shaky, but not glass.

    among prospects rey bautista should be added to the list, i'm basing this on what we've seen so far. dropped hard by a can on telefutura, almost got stopped by medina and got stopped in the first by de leon.

    Have to agree that Hide has the worst, though worst chin in any single fight is Mundine-Ottke.

    Grade A china is a stupid saying, and does not relate to Rahman who only got knocked out by Lewis, Tua, and Maskaev! all huge punchers who could have knocked nearly anyone out.

    I agree. I just can't explain his fight against Tszyu though. I know Cotto hits harder than Tszyu.

    To all the people who said Allan Green: great call. I forgot about him and his frail chin.

    how do you put people who are at the top echelon of the sport as the weakest chinned?

    A lot of bums don't really have weak chins. They just don't have the skills to stay in a fight. A lot of elite fighters never really get their chin tested and when they do they go down.
