    Folks, Fraudley had one of the worst chins ever seen a heavyweight.

    How far could he have gone if he didn't have an atrocious fragile Glass Jaw?

    Did his chin let him down or was it something else?

    Thoughts?

    No chin, no heart to fight...the guy flinched when shadowboxing.

    How he plans to train anyone is beyond me...his TBI is evident

    It's sort of like asking what if the sky wasn't blue. Fraudley's glass jaw defined his career, it's what made him the scared tentative fighter he was. Without it, he wouldn't be Fraudley.

    London posted this a while back (Something he saw on YT)

    'I have no doubt that Audley has the tools to be a good fighter. The problem is that the tools remain in a shed. The shed is locked and Audley doesn't have the key. Also, the shed was broken into and emptied a long time ago. And the shed is located in another continent from Audley. Also, the shed is a metaphor. Audley's career is basically a long-filed police report about some stolen tools that never existed"

    Quality post!!!

    did he even have a glass jaw? it was more like glass integrity, he would simply jump on the floor once his opponent started to land.

    This, the man was petrified in the ring. For example the David Haye fight, he barely threw a single punch on his only opportunity to win a world title, he bottled it

    No, because he would have basically then been Kevin Johnson.

    Harrison's problems with adapting to the pro game was more than just chin issues. He was a natural counter puncher, if a guy came to him and forced him to fight, he would throw and look OK, if they boxed then he simply didn't have the opportunities to throw and was too passive.

    He was also nearly 30 when he turned pro, he was simply too old to change his ways and adapt to a pro style. By the time he fought Danny Williams he was already in his mid 30's.

    Thoughts ? He was terrible. Looked good but was terrible.

    Saying that though I had a good laugh watching him though.

    In summary - terrible.

    If he got gifted the opportunities glass chinned American bums like Broner have he would've won multiple titles even with it.

    He had no HEART.
    No fighting HEART whatsoever. That was his greatest weakness.
    He is the definition of an amateur fighter, only suited to fighting three rounds with a head guard on. He was simply never a professional fighter.

    C'mon, he's a much bigger puncher than Johnson. Give him that at least.
