Most fragile chin in boxing history?

[Ben Bolt]

More on Floyd.

Dementia pugilistica.
Some years before Ingemar Johansson got struck with it, he and his fiancé Edna Alsterlund were visiting New York. While there, they wanted to meet their very good friends Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Patterson, and phoned them up to invite them for dinner at a restaurant.
Floyd was answering and was very thrilled about the occasion. “Of course we come” he said.

But Pattersons never showed up at the restaurant, Edna got worried that something had happened to them and phoned them the next day. This time Mrs. Patterson answered, and she knew nothing about a dinner invitation: “Oh, you can't longer make an appointment with Floyd that way. Nowadays, he forgets everything.”

As told by Edna Alsterlund, who wrote a book of how it was to live with Ingemar while his mental health declined.

you would think it would be bruce seldon... anyone evr been down from a zuri Lawrence punch? I bet roy jones would be now days...

[joe strong]

Their are a lot of club fighter and journeymen with fragile chins that most people
may not know of,but two boxers I can think of are Michael Grant and Bruce Seldon(watch seldon vs bowe/tyson)

first thing I thought of was the Tyson\seldon fight.... grant has been down many times... lennox, mccline, golota, guinn & takam are the ones who dropped him I think

[joe strong]

zuri Lawrence has no knockouts

Very sad. I'm surprised to hear that about Ingo since he had a relatively short career and only two tough losses.

Bob Satterfield.

Bob Satterfield.

First name that came to mind. To be fair though Satterfield was a Light-Heavy fighting at Heavyweight like Floyd Patterson was.

There are alot of of tomato cans that have been stopped in nearly all their bouts.

Your all being a little unfair to Floyd, first off to be stopped in the heavyweight division 5 times in over 60 bouts is nothing to be ashamed of. He did get dropped alot but he got up alot too! He was a small guy for his era also he made up for that deficiency with terrific foot and hand speed and for his size Floyd packed a very good punch!

In the heavyweight class most fighters are going to experience tuff defeats because the big boys can make the impossible happen.
Everyone thinks that Gallento dropping Louis was so shocking and that Louis's chin was in doubt!!
No one wanted to fight Two Ton Tony.......no one!! He was a tuff SOB who had NO fear and was a tremendous street brawler who brought that "talent" into the ring with him. At 5'9" 240lbs his wind mill style surprised all kinds of competition!!!
Look for Tony's fight with contender Lou Nova, its recorded as the dirtiest fight in the modern area! Gallento could knock anyone out if his left hook landed. He threw it from every angle and he was very good at deception also
Gallento
80 wins (57 by ko)
26 lost
5 drew
1 nc (no contest) he had 112 bouts and was stopped only 6 times!

Getting knocked down is not a good thing, not getting up is very bad! Ray

The brain controls every other part of our body.
And boxing destroys that wonderful, but brittle, computer we're all born with.
If we, the boxing fans, don't want to acknowledge that fact, it's because we've chosen not to.

Most gladiators in our sport have been, and will be, paying a high price for their brief moment in chasing the limelight.
