The Glassiest Jaw Of All

[Rusty Tromboni]

Cheeky? He is supposedly "the most skilled technical HW ever" not some bar room brawler with no defense. No. He had a the weakest chin a HW could have, which is a credit to his heart to survive all those bums decking his arse.

Surprising since Louis had a massive skull with a thick square jawline. That's usually the prototype of fighters with great chins.

Being technically sound doesn't ensure competent defense.

I'm not sure where you got that idea.

Famous fights where a technically sound fighter was easily out-boxed or wrecked by a rugged opponent.

Bob Satterfield was cursed with a glass jaw. Good fighter, good power, but couldn’t take it on the chin.

[Rusty Tromboni]

Let us not forget to mention Vlad Klit. He seemed to have "glass legs," whenever he got hit solid.

Not to disagree just to disagree, but I do.

He didn't have the best defense. And he fought tremendous punchers. The Sanders he fought that night would've stopped almost anyone else you could've drawn from the annals of Boxing to face him.

Yeah, i'm not sure I'd consider him good , though. He definitely wasn't great.
A lot of them at that time were like that.
Satterfield probably is the best choice of the bunch, but others were like him:
Cleveland Williams
Lloyd Marshall, maybe even Bivins

Lots of bad fighters, not necessarily all chinny, but bad fighters who built careers off of nothing more than a fearsome punch.

[Boxxymcboxface]

This is the obvious choice but since no one else has mentioned him outright as having the worst chin, I’ll do it.


Amir Khan.



That is all.

[The Old LefHook]

Kahn and Satterfield are both great choices.

And thick legs. I'm surprised he hit the canvas as much as he did. He recooperated quite well, and actually didn't get hit too often either early one, but when he did he went straight down. It's a good point.
