  • Floyd Patterson heart of gold but..

    Marred by a glass jaw according to many.. What other boxers would you put in that category?

    Bob Satterfield. Solid power puncher but couldn’t take one to save his hide.

      Amir Khan. Solid, solid skills, no beard at all.

        My first thought. David Price also.

          Lucian Bute

          Knockout power carrying good speed and power along with counterpunching skills but weak-minded with no heart.

            David Price solid skills? No, I don't see that.

              Does Ezzard Charles count?

              Went down 29 times in his career, but only stayed down seven times? (120 fights)

              Floyd Patterson down 22 times in 64 fights, but stayed down only 5 times.

                Jose Napoles, one of the most skilled boxers ever but if your punches had a bit of sharpness to them he'd be cut to ruin. Not the niceset of people though (if this thread is along them lines) and his paper thin skin could be attriubted to his alcoholism, many accounts of him turning up to Dundee's stable drunk.

                In the same vein as Floyd Patterson I guess you could mention Archie Moore, a true ambassador for boxing and a gent through and through, poor chin though, tended to make up for it with his grit and craftiness.

                Terry Norris is worth a mention in the chin department.
