    best fighter with the worst chin

    I think this what I meant with the "least god given talent" thread.

    Willie Pep is the only really great fighter I know of who reportedly had a very bad chin.

    Willie Pep did not have a bad chin at all. A bad chin is someone like Terry Norris.

              Julian Jackson would have been an absolute monster if he had a better chin. Hell he was a monster as it was.

                  Can you provide examples to show Pep had a bad chin? Just because he is considered one of, if not the best defensive fighter of all time doesn't mean he didn't get hit. Pep's chin was fine.

                    How bad is Wladimir's chin? I saw him take a few hits against Peter back in 2005 (I think, I don't feel like researching it now) and he fell, but he wasn't exactly reeling. Of course, I don't know how flush he was struck either.
