    Among top 50 guys, because there are definitely some bums with 0-15 or 3-45 records with almost all losses being by KO. So, who has the worst chin among top 50 guys? In my opinion, there are 5 fighters that stand out of others if we are talking about glass jaws.

    - David Price. Was stopped in all his losses (7), was knocked out cold twice (by Erkan Teper and Alexander Povetkin), was KO'ed with a signle punch by ancient Tony Thompson, who even in his prime wasn't considered a big puncher.

    - Artur Szpilka. Was knocked out in all his losses (4). Was knocked out cold twice (by Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora). Was knocked down in 9 different fights (Saulsberry, Mollo I, Mollo II, Jennings, Wilder, Kownacki, Wach, Chisora, Radchenko). Is his last fight was knocked down twice by a cruiserweight with 7-6 (2 KOs) record.

    - Gerald Washington. Was stopped in all his losses (4). Made Adam Kownacki look like prime Mike Tyson and Charles Martin look like prime George Foreman in terms of power.

    - Sergey Kovalev. Was stopped in 3 of his 4 losses. Was badly hurt and stopped by Andre Ward and knocked out by Eleider Alvarez, neither of whom is a big puncher. Was brutally knocked out by a middleweight who couldn't drop or stop midgets like Miguel Cotto or Matthew Hatton.

    - Amir Khan. Well, everybody knows his chin's credentials.

    I think my countryman Ismail Sillah should have been probably at the very top of this list, but he hadn't fought since December 2018, so he isn't an active boxer.

    So, who else?

    Since Gamboa still fights, I'm goin Yuri I guess. Off top of my head. He has been wobbled by jabs as well as being dropped numerous times in sparring says eyes in and around the gyms over the years

    Price's process to getting hit on the chin leads to error 404.

    Khan, James Kirkland, or Price.

    tbh none of those guys should continue to fight their Chins are so bad.

    Khan.

    Price - who on the face of it is even more chinny than Amir - gets a bit of leeway because of the division he competes in, where single punch KOs are more commonplace, and power generally is more of a factor.

    Szpilka's chin is great. He took some clean right hands from Wilder (the biggest puncher in history) and merely acknowledged the connect. He had to LEAP into a right hand to get knocked out... oh, wait...

    Joshua is packing glass which is why a Pulev or even Helenius could win.
