A poll regarding Frazier's chin has nothing to do with how everyone perceives a knockout.Comment

Yes and he got up six times against George foreman. It's ridiculous to suggest that a glass chin is capable of getting up six times against a man like George foreman.Comment

Well people don't just blindly and randomly vote. They have enough common sense to realise that Frazier did not have a glass chin.

Is it so ridiculous that a man has the heart and desire to fight on? No. You, on the other hand, refuse to acknowledge that the man had heart and only claim that his ability to get up after being knocked down six times in two rounds is from a cast-iron chin.Comment

Like I said, this poll is about Frazier's chin. Not what everyone thinks the requirements for a knockout are. Perhaps you shouldn't try avoiding this again, in your next reply.

I never claimed he had a "cast-iron chin". Show me one quote.
A large amount of heart can not overcome a glass chin. Your brain and your nervous system knows when it's time to shut down and no amount of heart can prevent/override the natural feedback of the body.
He got up from those knock downs because he was physically resilient, not solely due to heart.
All his heart really helped him to do was run face first into more viscous uppercuts. He was a man of pride and wanted to fight like a warrior.Last edited by Vadrigar.; 06-19-2010, 02:30 PM.Comment

Yes and the question of frazier's chin is related to the George foreman fight. Most posters on this history section/NSB have probably seen it. Hence they draw their own conclusions.

Apparently you have never watched a single boxing match in your life (including Frazier vs Foreman I) and only use false intellect to sum up your opinions.
Floyd Patterson is another heavyweight that is considered to have a glass jaw. He's never been "knocked out" by your definition, yet he's tasted the canvas more than any other heavyweight champion and got back up.
If he doesn't have a glass jaw, why was he knocked down so many times and why does everyone call him a glass-jawed fighter?Comment
