Best champions with the WORST chins!

[scap]

Julian Jackson also had a suspect chin.

If Julian Jackson would have had just a decent Chin he would have been one of the greatest champions of all time...the guy is the best puncher I have ever seen, literally dynamite in his fists...

I have heard a lot of names like Morrison, Hearns, Oscar, Tito, Breland etc...none of them even come close to the beard that Jackson had, he could swing and miss and he would hurt you and his opponent could swing and miss and all of a sudden Jackson is all ****ed up...greatest single puncher I have ever seen, by far the worst chin I have ever seen too.

Well, I had Ali both on the best chins of all time based on the facts that he took punches by Frazier, Foreman, Holmes, and Liston and was never floored.

I also put him in the list of worst chins because, although some may think this is double-standard, he still fell to the floor against lesser people such as Frazier (slightly lesser), and SPECIALLY, Henry Cooper (''Our Ol Enry'' was a great puncher but not in Ali's class), Sonny Banks (definitely not in Ali's class), and Chuck Wepner (tough, brave, not in Ali's class).

I should give him credit for taking Earnie Shavers and Bob Foster's punches also through. In Foster's particular case, even through most of his knockouts were at Light Heavy, even a Heavyweight, slow version of him would scare me!!!

tyson a great champion.. but i am not sure if it was because of his chin or lacking of will and heart.. he did came up from knock down but never recovered and came back to win so..

Yes Cory is the son of Michael Spinks .

Cory is the son of Leon Spinks, not Michael!

Someone here said Schmeling. Are you nuts? Schmeling took a tremendous battering by Max Baer, THE BIGGEST puncher in his day, and still ended the fight on his feet. Louis knocked him out in one round, but most of the damage was done by body shots that broke Max's vertebrae. Schmeling had an above average heavyweight chin.

trinidad came to my mind immediately.

knocked down alot of times which makes me wonder how was he able to pull those fights in his favor...

He pulled the fights on talent, punch and BRAVERY.

I don't equate "bad chin" to meaning necessarily that someone gets knocked out alot. It is more how much they are knocked down. Tito has a fairly bad chin. He has some will to make him get back up though. Kendall Holt has a bad chin, not a champion but I saw him recently. He would be a good fighter if his chin were better.

Tommy Hearns has one of the worst chins. Yikes, you just know watching his fights that he'll get knocked around like crazy. Corrales and Forrest come to mind as well. Probably because they're of similar body type to Hearns.

any one who gets hit by another heavyweigt clean is bound to get hurt .

I don't get it..

Ali has one of the best chins? Also, one of the worse chins?
Its annoyin when someone says someone else has a glass chin cuz they got knocked down once or twice in their whole career

You talkin like Frazier is some bum off the street...
Frazier is one of the hardest punchers ever and I don't care how hard of a chin you got, that left hook he landed on Ali would've knocked ANYBODY down...

quickly off the top of my head I would say:

Wladimir Klitschko
Zab Judah
RJJ

Yeah these three... Zab Judah is gonna get tagged again when he steps up the competition.

RJJ has shown in his last couple of fights that if you can land on him he'll drop like a sack of patatos.

Wladimir Klitschko - It's funny becuase his brother seems to be able to take a shot alright?...
