Best champions with the WORST chins!

didnt read all the post but did anyone mention Terry Norris? Man this guy had the best offense ive ever seen,one of my favorite fighters. To bad he had no chin. http://www.antekprizering.com/leonardnorrismsgpos0903t.jpeghttp://ww1.sportsline.com/b/apphotos/Norris12596.jpg

Tito, I think just has balance issues

I believe that Terry Norris should occupy "first place" in this category. I just cannot recall but he had some fights where he was clearly dominating but was KOd after receiving a nice shot to the chin.

Well, I had Ali both on the best chins of all time based on the facts that he took punches by Frazier, Foreman, Holmes, and Liston and was never floored. I also put him in the list of worst chins because, although some may think this is double-standard, he still fell to the floor against lesser people such as Frazier (slightly lesser), and SPECIALLY, Henry Cooper (''Our Ol Enry'' was a great puncher but not in Ali's class), Sonny Banks (definitely not in Ali's class), and Chuck Wepner (tough, brave, not in Ali's class). I should give him credit for taking Earnie Shavers and Bob Foster's punches also through. In Foster's particular case, even through most of his knockouts were at Light Heavy, even a Heavyweight, slow version of him would scare me!!! Sincerely yours, Antonio I don't get it.. Ali has one of the best chins? Also, one of the worse chins? Its annoyin when someone says someone else has a glass chin cuz they got knocked down once or twice in their whole career You talkin like Frazier is some bum off the street... Frazier is one of the hardest punchers ever and I don't care how hard of a chin you got, that left hook he landed on Ali would've knocked ANYBODY down...

any one who gets hit by another heavyweigt clean is bound to get hurt .

I don't equate "bad chin" to meaning necessarily that someone gets knocked out alot. It is more how much they are knocked down. Tito has a fairly bad chin. He has some will to make him get back up though. Kendall Holt has a bad chin, not a champion but I saw him recently. He would be a good fighter if his chin were better. Tommy Hearns has one of the worst chins. Yikes, you just know watching his fights that he'll get knocked around like crazy. Corrales and Forrest come to mind as well. Probably because they're of similar body type to Hearns.

trinidad came to my mind immediately. knocked down alot of times which makes me wonder how was he able to pull those fights in his favor... He pulled the fights on talent, punch and BRAVERY. Antonio

Someone here said Schmeling. Are you nuts? Schmeling took a tremendous battering by Max Baer, THE BIGGEST puncher in his day, and still ended the fight on his feet. Louis knocked him out in one round, but most of the damage was done by body shots that broke Max's vertebrae. Schmeling had an above average heavyweight chin.

Yes Cory is the son of Michael Spinks . Cory is the son of Leon Spinks, not Michael!

tyson a great champion.. but i am not sure if it was because of his chin or lacking of will and heart.. he did came up from knock down but never recovered and came back to win so.. :cool:

Julian Jackson also had a suspect chin. If Julian Jackson would have had just a decent Chin he would have been one of the greatest champions of all time...the guy is the best puncher I have ever seen, literally dynamite in his fists... I have heard a lot of names like Morrison, Hearns, Oscar, Tito, Breland etc...none of them even come close to the beard that Jackson had, he could swing and miss and he would hurt you and his opponent could swing and miss and all of a sudden Jackson is all fucked up...greatest single puncher I have ever seen, by far the worst chin I have ever seen too.

Yes Cory is the son of Michael Spinks .

Judah-corrales-tito- And To Make Some People A Lil Angry Roy Jones Lol

tito has been on the floor 9 times, 8 of those tim,es he has gotten up and won. bad chin? no way most if nto all were flash knockdowns Well, the ninth one certainly wasn't. I think we all remember him not getting up when Hopkins put him down. Is Cory related to Michael and Leon? How is he? I never even thought of that, for some reason. Normally I'd say something about Roy's chin, but I'll skip, and go to Antonio, who said Ali had a bad chin. If Ali had a bad chin, who had a good one? Ali had one of the best chins in heavyweight history.

My five(off the top of my head): 1)The Spinks family 2)Wlad 3)Hearns 4)Judah 5)Cintron

Oops, I take it back.. The Thread Title says "Best champions with the WORST chins! Ruiz is not a 'Best champion' I wonder if he is a champion at all, or just a very lucky boxer Cleverly spotted. Ruiz isn`t a good champion so he isn`t included in this thread!

Julian Jackson also had a suspect chin.

seldon,leonspinks,coryspinks,michaelspinks,tyson,lewis,wladimir,joe louis,max schmeling,john l. sullivan just to name a few off the top of my head Tyson? He has never been KOed with one punch, he takes ass whoopins b4 he goes down,

How come no one said Ruiz yet? Oops, I take it back.. The Thread Title says "Best champions with the WORST chins! Ruiz is not a 'Best champion' I wonder if he is a champion at all, or just a very lucky boxer
