So, in light of Price last night, I'd be interested in seeing who people believe are the top 5 'chinniest boxers' in British boxing?

Should be interesting/a laugh...

Price, Kevin Mitchell, Amir Khan...

Erm?

Ever?

Still active...

Khan tops the list, surely?

Can't think chinny and not think of Paul Ryan or Errol Christie, but long retired the pair of them.

Khan gets a bad rap. He's taken some big shots and has stood up to them at world level.

How could I forget to mention Enzo!

yeah but the shots enzo took were huge

khan has faught allot of top quality fighters

i dont think price would go twelve rounds with anybody

he would knock them out or get knocked out

going to be real entertainment following his career now

enzo for me is top of the glass jaws

These guys got chinned at high level must be some one who gets chinned regulary at lower level

To be fair, the shot Khan took against Garcia was pretty big. Plus he had his own momentum going into the shot.

1. David Price
2. Enzo Maccarinelli
3. Derry Mathews
4. Amir Khan
5. Audley Harrison

Good Quote. Khan Took Madiana Best Shots.Remember Garcia Punch Hit In The Worst Spot A Punch Could Land.Near Ear.Legal But Effects Like A Blow Behind Head.David Price Exactly The Same.Fortunate.They Will Both Come Again.

Don't get the whole Mitchell being chinny thing, Ricky Burns is actually the only man to put him down as a pro. He stood up to Prescott's shots and went toe to toe with Murray for 8 rounds, even Katsidis only stopped him on his feet when Mitchell was badly unprepared.

I agree Darcy and it's pretty much the same for Enzo. The thing with this list is that everyone of them are big hitters themselves; maybe they are too gung ho - going for the KO and walking onto a shot.

Ever, but all within recent memory?

Surprised Danny Williams hasn't had a mention..

Really? You never seen the tyson fight then

Infact anyone saying danny williams is one of the chinniest british fighters of all time should be thrashed with nettles then made to watch rahman ruiz, repeatedly.

pele reid - yeah deffo up there in the top trumps chin checkers pack.

he made julius francis look like joe louis that night.

then got obliterated by orlin norris.

that norris match has to be the worst bit of matchmaking i can think of.

Sorry Wales. I could've trawled the records for a weak bearded bantamweight from Barnsley circa 1904 but thought I'd stick with what I know.

I should never have put "Ever". That was remiss of me.

Iv watched plenty of Danny's fights thanks including the Tyson fight, which was a long time ago when williams could hold a shot.. when i saw this post I was assuming it was on fighters at present & not 10 years ago so thought he was worth a mention... P.s was not taking anything away from Danny & what he's done for the sport,!!
