No doubt this will turn into an Amir Khan festival but I think there are glassier jaws out there. My vote will probably go for David Price as he was put on queer street by a slap.
seems like former nflers have always had the weakest of chins. probably due to the lack of amateur background where you get acclimated to taking and rolling with the punches. very few heavyweights have made it to the championship level with a limited amateur background. larry holmes and tim witherspoon are a couple of the exceptions
Rahman as well... He wasn't nfl but a very good football prospect until a car accident derailed it if memory serves
Seth Mitchell is the goat of glassy chins

1. Fernando Guerrero: Horrendous chin
2. Austin Trout, been knocked down 4 times in his last 4 fights. His chin is starting to go.
3. Enzo Mac
4. Kirkland.
It isn't a very good chin, but the last time I even saw Wlad really hit on the chin was Haye in the 12th and before that maybe Sam Peter. He sort of wobbled when Pulev hit him.
He doesn't get hit very often at all anymore.
I agree its not a very good chin but it sure as hell isnt made of glass either. he hasnt been hit alot but hes taking some shots over the last 10 yrs. you dont fight over a 10 yr span without taking some whacks. nobodies defense is that good,,lol
he hasnt been dropped in ten years,,lol. it must have become pretty strong glass. glass jaws are guys that go down from light hitters and cant recover. bruce seldon and seth mitchell come to mind

At HW Wlad Klitschko who has been dropped and KO'd more than anybody in the top 28 in his division.

I still haven't seen evidence that glass chins exist, just fighters with defensive lapses.
If that were true than every fighter that doesn't get KO'd or knocked down would have good defense, which we know isn't true. In that case if some guys have strong chins, invariably some guys have weak chins.

Like this right here... The shame isn't in going down from Garcia's signature punch, the shame is in whatever Amir was doing with his hands. Brainfreeze, series of weird limp uppercuts to the chest with hands down, KTFO.
