Joe Frazier Had a Glass Chin?

[Miburo]

what others do you think had better chins at the time?

It's hard to classify him because, as has been noted, he didn't face a wealth of big punchers with the notable exception of Foreman. Among contenders and champions, Ali, Chuvalo, Foreman, Liston (whose career slightly overlapped Frazier's) definitely had better. Cases could perhaps be made for Norton and Wepner (we're talking pure chin, excluding defense) as well. One of the things that has to be considered is the fact that Frazier actually had good defense, so he was never relying solely on chin.

please tell me what your basing his iron chin off?

When did i say he had an iron chin? I think you need to gain some boxing knowledge before making rubbish up

if your point is that you have to be counted out to have a glass chin then you dont have a point.

if your tko'd because of 6 kd's,then your chin is chinese

answer the question. I'm putting it bluntly to:

"Just answer the question, that I put to you in my post; go to the top of page 2 and answer it.

That is enough to prove my point."

Of course he had a glass chin. He was knocked down eight times by the only big puncher he ever faced. Six of those knockdowns in two rounds.

It doesn't matter how many times you get up. That just shows that you have heart. You still have a glass chin, though.

exactly that's the key word. George could do that to the majority of his opponents. It doesn't prove anything.

IS there any evidence of Frazier being badly hurt by a feather fisted fighter?

The majority of Foreman's opponents were bums. If you're talking about the best opposition he beat, then most of them had weak chins.

If you get knocked down by a feather-fisted fighter, then your chin is beyond glass.

Anyways, Bonavena knocked him down twice in their first fight. Bonavena is not a notoriously big puncher.

prove to me that bonavena is featherfisted. You have to be knocked down by them to have a glass chin.

Which bums did foreman beat?

What best opposition had weak chins? (excluding frazier)

How old was Frazier when he was knocked down by bonavena?

It's clear you have no knowledge of this sport. You don't have to get knocked down by feather-fisted fighters to be called glass-jawed.

You must've never done a bit of research if you can't see all bums he's beat. Not a good boxing fan, are you?

Norton, Cooney and Moorer all had glass chins. He didn't knock out, let alone fight, a lot of top opposition, so they're very limited.

Frazier was 22 and the fight took place a year and a half before he won the title.
