    How so? The only person who stopped him was Foreman. And some of you have a strange view fighters you don't consider all time greats.

          Six knockdowns in two rounds and never demonstrated a chin against any other puncher because he spent an entire career avoiding them.

            Frazier's style was to take punches to get on the inside whilst he had an under rated defence he took an awful lot of punches. To the best of my knowledge 2 men knocked him down and he got up every time. Now the 6 knockdowns by Foreman indicates a pretty good chin as if he was chinny it would have only been one, no?
            Foreman had awesome power to get knocked down by him is not an indication of a glass jaw rather that Ali had an incredible chin.
            Like I said earlier I would not put Quarry on the level of Shavers or Foreman but he had enough power to KO a chinny fighter.
            You don't like or rate Frazier, fair enough opinions are opinions but nothing you have said indicates Frazier had whisker problems to me.

              Although he's one of my favourite fighters, i'm afraid the Brown Bomber falls into this category..
              ie: I wouldn't say he had a very bad chin, but without doubt, he was a bit chinny..
              Infact the very same thing could be said about Jack Dempsey, who was knocked down a total of 19 times during his career..

                Alot of ATG's would have been chinny if not for the thing that made the great, defence! I mean if alot them fought like Ricardo Mayorga they might not have been great.

                  Joe Louis. Sometimes I would be speechless seeing what type of fighters would hurt him and knock him down. Definitely one of the worst chins ever on that kind of level.

                  Thomas Hearns didn't have a glass chin but that's probably the only thing he lacked in his career.
