I would say Mike Moorer.

This is, of course, a joke post, but he got floored by a punch that didn't look to have a great deal of "steam" behind it :lol:

Marcus Rhode has to have the worst chin of any heavyweight I've seen. Not only could Foreman KO him with a jab: Chris Byrd would have a shot as well!

Bruno only got floored by big punchers .....[ Jumbo Cummings , James bonecrusher Smith , Whitherspoon , Tyson , Lewis ]

I can't get too historical, but no way is Moorer worse than Hide.

The truth Williams had a pretty weak chin as well. Too bad because he was a fine boxer who gave Holmes hell.

franks chin wasn't that bad, he just used to panic when put under severe pressure and gassed in the later rounds. he took a pounding by lewis by was still on his feet when the fight was called off.

The question is worded wrong. If we are talking about championship boxing, i would probably say Moorer or Bruno. However the worst HW chin in the world would be someone rock bottom of the boxrec ratings, such as 'Babybean'

Bruce Seldon :D

Not as bad as Herbie Hide, Hide would have passed out against Tyson from the sound waves of the first bell

Of someone who got to the top or near to the top, I think Leon Spinks deserves a mention.

Bruce Seldon went down from the WIND generated by one of Mike Tyson's missed punches.

bruno's problem wasn't his chin it was actually pretty sturdy,it was his stamina.

Among belt holders? Probably Herbie Hide

There are always guys that get hit with a punch and go down for the count just to collect their paycheck. I don't count them since there have been so many in history.

Moorer?Most of you use drugs right?Did you know Moorer wasn't really a heavyweight yet the only people who stopped him were Foreman,Holyfield and Tua but some how they makes you have a glass chin right?The worst chin of any real heavyweight who won the title would be Buster Douglas.The man was knocked out at least 7 times.


I think Marciano had a bit worse chin than him, right? Or donīt you agree with me? :think

Herbie hide without doubt, then again some othe rfighters who are bums are obviously worse but at title level it has to be hide.

Linear champs?? You gotta put Lennox Lewis in the mix here - the only HW champ taken out in the early rounds twice by ordinary contenders when he held the title!

Of course, Floyd Patterson should be in the discussion here, too - he was taken out or knocked down even more frequently, although usually against better fighters.

But probably THE worst chin on a linear HW champ belongs to Hasim Rahman. Now that's some serious Grade A China right there! :nod

If beltholders are included, Hide and Bruce Seldon are good candidates.
