Greatest fighters with bad chins?

[GJC]

Both Errol Christie and Noel Quarless would have gone places had it not been for their lantern chins..

Certainly give you Christie, fantastic talent but could get ko'd by someone shaping to ring his doorbell.
Think he would really illustrate the point, had he have had say Hearns chin more than the two of us would have heard of him lol

Yeh, real shame.. I remember watching him thourghly outclassing Sean Manion, who was a top 10 MW at the time.. Then he just fell apart and ended up losing to southern area champ, Ian Strudwick who's claim to fame was lasting 4 rounds against Steve Collins..
The last time i heard, Christie was working as a standup comedian in Coventry nightclubs..
Anyone who followed his amateur career, and watched his first 10 pro fights, would have predicted massive success for him.. He moved like Leonard and hit like Hearns, but with a candy floss chin.. His brother Lloyd wasn't half as good, but picked up a few domestic belts, and was the only blemish on the undefeated record of fomer IBF LWW champ, Terry Marsh, the fight being judged a draw..
