What makes people think Hearns was chinny?

[mike ruler]

Everytime he's placed in a fantasy matchup against someone they always say, "Hearns had a glass chin." What's up with that?

[MANGLER]

Cuz he got KO'd a couple times. The Barkley one was really surprisin. I don't think he had a soft jaw, but his chin wasn't the gr8est either.

[Jim Jeffries]

Because if it wasn't for his chin, how could he possibly lose a hypothetical WW matchup?

He was a little wobbly on his legs and got KO:ed in a couple of fight. He did not do well when hurt.

Ok I see what you're saying. I can't say he had a "glass jaw." He was KO'd by Hagler, huge puncher, Barkley, who was a decent puncher, both not at his natural weights.

[ИATAS]

If anything his balance was poor at times, but his chin wasn't poor. He took some monster shots from Hagler in that epic first round that would have killed most men.

And by leonard. I think the main reason also is that in his marquee fights the ones he lost, were by KO

Leonard tested his chin at his natural weight in their first fight.

Because Hearns only had a couple weaknesses one was his chin the other was the fact that he did not fight good on the inside, and they kind of go together.

Hearns fighting from the outside is basically like Wlad fighting from the outside unbeatable, so when arguing for someone against Hearns you have to make that case.

Leonard tested his chin at his natural weight in their first fight.

He was weight drained for the first fight. He had problems making 147 @ that time. He even weighed in @ 146 I believe. It wasn't like Leonard clocked him one good time and layed him out either. It was late in the fight Hearns was exhausted and just got caught with something.
