Tap him on his jaw, and he crumbles: History's weakest chins...

History's worst chins: List em


One of the worst I've ever seen has to be Zab Judah.

 

U Should Rename this the "Augie Sanchez/Junior Jones" Thread...

Roy Jones Jr.

 

:bears: How PREDICTABLE...NOW U're Trolling...

As mentioned in another thread...

Herbie Hide

 

Micheal Bennett had the worst chin I ever saw.

 

Lorenzo Zanon, a 70's heavyweight who would go airborne and do cartwheels when hit on the chin.
He was wiping out a completely shot and out of shape Jerry Quarry in the Norton-Young semifinal and had won all 8 rounds, when a grazing right by Jerry sent him down acrobatically.
Larry Holmes actually sent the guy airborne.

 

none of the people you will come up with have the worst chins

worst chins belong to guys nobody hears about. guys with 4-54 10-49 records...keep that in mind

 

I have to agree with this. The guy just had zero ability to take a punch.

Others:

Cliff Etienne - how he ever went the distance with Brewster (and won) I'll never know.

As REED said, Augie Sanchez had a terrible chin.

 

I was going to say Etienne. Even the fights he won he looked like he was fighting the whole fight hurt or on the verge of being hurt.

I think Augie had concussion syndrome or something. He didn't just get knocked out, he looked like he'd go into a coma everytime he got knocked out..............and it didn't take much.

 

:: :laughing: :: :laughing:

 

If you want to have some kicks at your next PPV party, obtain his fights with Quarry, Norton, and Holmes.
When he got hit on his china chin, he would go back, arms flailing everywhere falls back into the ropes get hit again, go down in a somersault and take the count.
He did a back roll when Quarry sent him down the second time and the last knockdown it looked like the crucifixion in the corner.
Holmes knocked him off his feet into the air, clear across the ring backwards and it looked like Zanon was trying to fly by flailing his arms everywhere.
Zanon also looked ridiculous in that he wore these knee high white sock swith blue stripes on the top with ankle high blue shoes, and "totip" trunks that were long at the time.
He spent more time in the air than any heavyweight I have ever seen.

 

Wlad Klitschko has to be mentioned. he got put down by fucking Davarryl Williamson:shit:

 

Davaryll Williamson hits hard!!! Ask Byrd.

 

Can one say Joe Mesi?:laughing:

 

well, yeah. he's got a shit chin. but that has nothing to do with his ability to punch. the guy can punch. it's a fact. if nothing else.

i'm not saying Wlad doesn't have a below average chin. he clearly does. i'm just saying the fact that Williamson put him down is not proof. for this we need to consider: a. Sanders KO'd his ass b. Brewster KO'd his ass c. Williamson knocked him down d. Peter knocked him down multiple times

 

Stephanne Oulette has possibly the worst chin of all-time.

Terry Norris has the worst chin that a great fighter ever had, IMO.

 

Him and The Glass Rhino!!

 

Double L this is a really badly written topic. You should have qualified it better. If you want a list of the truly worst chins in history...you have to go to boxrec and look at the worse records...Eric Crumble for example..or even bums blown away by well known fighters early in their careers or guys KOed by Pernell whitaker, spadafora, Cory Spinks etc.

bottomline...Zab Judah would be no where near the top (or bottom..depending on your perspective) of such a list.

Perhaps you meant...

out of all UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONS, who had the worse chin? Or all Welterweight champions? Or all guys who fought Mayweather?

I'm trying to find a "chinny" list that could possible have Zab Judah in it. :dunno:

 

can't forget Ross Purity

and I actually like Wlad!::

If he had a chin he could be one of the most dominant HW champs ever. IF

 

Well, Williamson didn't have the time to land any punch in this fight. Why do you think he's called "touch of sleep"?

 

I think this is pretty fair, though NOBODY could take that shot jackson gave him.

 

To Terry's credit, he wasn't completely out. If I'm not mistaken he even got up before the count ended.

 

what about "The worst chins of anyone that fought a Winner Takes All Match!! with Tszyu?:dunno:

 

If by completely out, you mean 10 count? Nah, he wasn't. But Norris wouldn't have been in condition to continue after a 50 count.

Still, being blasted by Jackson is no shame. Having it done by a JAB by Simon Brown? Being hurt by anyone who touched him? Thats bad.

I feel sorry for Norris, because he took a couple of life changing beatings when he hung around a little too long. Without his reflexes and speed, he was a deer in the headlights and that poor punch resistance was then combined with his huge heart and will to win....thats how people get hurt and Terry did.

 

I should have put a smilie, I said that tongue in cheek.

 

very true.

I felt this way about Gatti when he fought Floyd. I was actually a bit worried.

 

Bob Sapp

 

lets not forget Troy Waters putting him on queer street:laughing:

sorry...

 

For? I agree that Norris' beard was bad. Real bad in fact. Personally, I then think about what he still went on to achieve, knowing he had that significant flaw and can't help but be impressed.

Terry was a great fighter.
