Why do so many british fighters have a glass chin?

Calzaghe has an iron chin. ******...

So Lennox gets KO'ed twice from legit HW punches (regardless of who threw them), which automatically means his chin was glass? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. So that must mean Tyson has the glassiest chin of them all, considering he was stopped 5 fucking times.

As for Hatton and Calzaghe... man, fuck off with that ****.

Calzaghe, glass chin? Are you just making **** up to discredit British fighters?

Lol. Bait thread.

Lennox only KO'd twice by big punchers. Hatton only KO'd twice, both caught flush, and especially the second one from pac would have put alot of middleweights to sleep.

I personally cant stand Calzaghe but how the fcuk can anybody say he has a glass chin?

Even though he's my favourite fighter if you wanna talk about glass chins you wanna be talking about a certain guy from Pensacola, FL.

well I think what he means is that Calzaghe for a champion has been on the mat a disproportionate amount of time but that all depends on how you define chin because while he always gets knocked down, he's rarely if ever been hurt and never been knocked out. So if anything perhaps one can say Calzaghe has bad balance/equilibrium but not a bad chin. Or perhaps, mediocre chin but very strong heart like Wlad

Good! It's about time people here start talking trash about the Brits, coz I'm getting sick of seeing threads making fun of Filipino fighters...

Calzaghe and Froch have the strongest chins.

And guess what, they are british.

The bolded all have/had far from "glass chins".

Lewis took bombs from Vitali Klitschko and stayed on his feet, so in no way was his chin glass. Calzaghe has a solid chin, hasn't ever been in serious trouble IMO, and only hurt a few times through his career. As for Hatton, he walked through Kostya Tszyu's shots all night, but his chin is weak now - a side effect of his style.
