Etienne shouldnt even be on this list, hes a joke to the sport. He is one of the worst fighters I have seen ever grace a boxign ring. I think hes up there with Josh Cobb (Tex's son)

I think the weakest chin has to go to Michael Grant. That dude has been dropped more times then I can count! Went down on the first punch against McCline, got dropped by Lennox, Golota, Guinn, etc... Big frame, nice punch, decent skills, but absolutely no damn chin!

This topic is retarded, if a man had the worse chin in history, then he would not be known.....


but my pic would have to be the 4 people that got knocked out by Ivan Calderon.

How? The few times his chin got tested it let him down, that is how.

RJJ's chin definitely folded when it was serously tested but I think it was more a case of him being a small boned middleweight fighting light heavyweights.

How? Because he's been hit about three times during his whole career. One was a knockdown against a nobody and both other times resulted in light's out. That's how.

Roy Jones was almost untouchable for most of his career, so it was always a mystery what kind of chin he had.
He's been hit flush about 5 times total in his entire career.

And he was KTFO twice (Tarver & Johnson)& KD by De Valle.

That doesn't exactly give the impression of granite now does it?

same with lewis, the times he has been really 'stuck' were vs McCall and Hasim, he was hurt both times, yet he isnt on the list

Augie Sanchez had a pretty damn weak chin... but Michael Grant may be slightly worse.

Anybody who got KO'd by Paul Spadafora should definitely win this award hands down.

not to mention knocked out cold by an 82 year old george foreman...

Roid Jones is one that stands out. Although to his credit he managed to hide it for much of his career.

A few mentions for Lewis but i don't necessarily subscribe to that. The two times he was stopped he was caught with absolute bombs.

Against Vitali he took some flush shots and stayed up. He was also in with some dynamite punchers without being in any trouble.

Jones has been caught before, I wouldnt necessarily say he has a bad beard because he has been hit with some hard shots before. The one punch Jones did get KTFO out with anybody would have went down on.

The Glen KO was an odd one.

I've heard various conspiracy theories about Roid being able to continue but not having the heart.

Having seen the fight, i disagree wholeheartedly.

But that wasnt on his chin, the shot that put Roy down was on the temple. I think Roy was broken down as a fighter in the Tarver fight and Glen destroyed the rest of the pieces Roy forgot to pick up.

Roy has been caught but I see your understanding (and a lot will agree with you) because Roy wasnt very hittable and when he was hit (in recent memory) he had gotten knocked out.

On a side note, I wasnt a Jones fan at the time but it really worried me when he was on the canvas. I was concerned for him, the Tarver KO didnt devastate him that much. I thought he was paralyzed or suffered something like Gerald Mclellan.

He certainly stayed down for a long time.

In the Glen fight though, he didn't seem (to me anyway) interested. His work rate was non existant but when he did actually produce a flurry of punches, he looked quite impressive.

Why he didn't do it more often baffles me.

Ohh yeah he was down for a good 8-10 minutes, which was insane because they just showed him laying there and nobody seemed to help him up or anything like that.

He was super lazy in that fight he pulled a poor mans Leonard and just threw flurries. It had me laughing when Merchant would be like ohh Roy is just breaking him down and letting him tire himself out and when Roy would throw his flurries Merchant would be like here it comes and like 10 seconds later nothing happened. Cracked me the hell up, it also made me chuckle when they said Glen was fighting like an amateur and he will tire out early for Jones to take over and then it didnt happen and Glen fought the same way round after round.

That fight was pure comedy that ended in a tragedy.

Larry Merchant can be a right ******* sometimes.

I still have to laugh at Jones view of himself though. Tarver and Johnston, two men who have KO'd him are fighting for the right to do it again?

Delusional springs to mind.

I was worried too, Roy Jones is my #1 all time favorite boxer. He was hurt after that fight, did you see when he tried to lift his head right after the knockdown? That wasn't fake...Roy should have retired after the first Tarver fight.

The reason Roy might be in this list and I say might is because the very "first" time he was hit good, he was knocked out. The very second time he was hit good...he was knocked out. What does this mean? It means that as long as he was too fast to hit, then he was cool...but what if he got hit more often? He probably would have gotten knocked out more often. This means he had a weak chin, we just didn't know it.

You see when guys like Ali and Leonard slowed down, they had to take punches, the way Roy did. What was the difference? They always got up.

Clearly, you never watched the Bruno fight nor the Mercer fight. I suggest you do.

Hell, Lewis took some stick in the first round of the Tyson fight without as much flinching.

The McCall KO was a case of being hit by a right he never saw coming while in the process of throwing his own right.

The Rahman punch was a case of an ill-prepared, over-confident fighter doing a stupid manouvre and being caught by a looping right as he bounced off the ropes.

as a true mayweather fan you also like Roid Jones, Why am I not surprised.

The trashman collection hardly ever tested Roid but lately the family
China exposed itself.

Golota should be on the list too.

See that isnt cool man, I agree Roy has fought some ****ty ass opposition but look at the division he was in. He couldnt help it crap was at 175, but Roy also fought some pretty good fighters.

Tarver
Woods
Ruiz
Gonzalez
Harding
Hill
Griffin
McCallum
Pazienza
Toney
Hopkins
Castro

Those are decent opponents and considering the division Roy was in he fought the best. Give the man a break

itsn ot like michael grant was horrible, he had excelelnt talent, but he couldn't take a punch, and on top of that, he hs like the WORST confidence ever. i mean he was scared to hit gilbert martinez, he tried one combination, and he won cuz of that.... fuk man it aint hard. he has self esteem problems, if not, he could've gotten a title i think, at least a WBO or sumin
