How about Herbie Hide

there is no way bruno had a glass chin, he just had no clue how to tie up and survive and run the clock down.

He took some hulking shots from monstrous punchers but it was the fact that his inefficiencies led to him taking more and more flush shots that would wipe him out.

Also shit stamina, when a fighter get tired they go to their natural survival instincts.

Agree.

Bruno was actually the Wlad of his day! Very hard to get past that jab but if you did you could land soe shots.

Bruno was never chinny, just did not react wel cover well when hurt.

I think I only ever saw him down against once? Bonecrusher?

DG have you been over on Doghouse pretending to be an Amir khan fan it seems to have you mark all over it?

Not I!

Seems to be a lot of traffic over there these days, maybe Glax has merged the Septics with the UK forum?

Bruno stood up to some huge shots and don't forget he finished on his feet against Tyson and Lewis. True, he did freeze when hit with big punches, but it took a hell of a lot to put him down. Look at the Smith and Witherspoon fights. Chinny fighters go down a lot, lot easier than that.

Tyson had him down in the first fight and Witherspoon had him sitting on the bottom rope, I seem to remember. Anyway, agree with you, as you can see from my previous post. Considering some of the punchers he faced, he has an admitably low knockdown tally.

Someone will say Lennox Lewis but they will be wrong.

I wouldn't say Herol or Lennox were at all - when they were knocked out, they walked straight into the shots, there was nothing anybody could have done about them. The Julian Jackon shot would have knocked out David Tua.

Its strange when you look at some boxers records, Bruno and Benn both lost alot by stoppage , but i wouldn't say they were chinny.
Tony Sibson was KO'd in a round early on in his career, and out of his 7 losses , 5 were by stoppage, again i wouldn't say he was chinny.

The difference is that Khan is not hard to hit, and his chin is not made of glass, it is made of wet paper.

Diego Corrales wasn't too steady.

This is my view exactly. None of the blokes mentioned here had 'glass jaws'. Some were a bit chinny, don't have 'world class punch resistance' etc but they could all hold a reasonable shot, in my view.

Khan has been on queer street from low quality digs. It's only because he's young, has heart and his fitness levels are great that he has got this far. He just can't hold a shot.

Saying that though when he was on form Roger was good to watch. He dominated Vinny Pazienza in the fight before Chavez.

I liked the Black Mamba, he looked like a nutcase, which always helped. Downloaded a good few of his fights. There was another impressive fight of his, will have to try and remember it.

As for the thread, yes there have been guys who get hit and go down, but Amir got wiped out. He cannot take a shot.

So would most boxers if they walked into any half-decent boxer the way Amir did
