    Leonard may have been shot but he was still a good puncher, like the old saying goes you never lose your punching power, if people actually look up Norris's opposition in his prime he was only ever dropped or KO by big punchers, Im not trying to make out Norris had a good chin, but some people are saying his chin was one of the weakest in history and i think thats a little unfair.

      Leonard barley landed anything and his reflexis and timing was way off. If you seen the first Norris/Brown fight, then you will see what i mean. He was being shook up and rocked by punches that shouldn't have had that effect on him. He was even badly hurt by a jab in the first round. Then he kept getting hurt by short counter rights, it was pathetic.

        Toughest Jaw I would say Mathew Saad Muhamad (Matt Franklin) I saw him take some serious punches and he kept on going til his apponent punched himself out, then Matt Knocked him out

          Marciano had a brick head. Ali could take just about anything. Hagler had a chin of steel.

          Floyd Patterson seemed to have a weak chin. He was knocked down more times than any heavyweight champ ever. I could be wrong in saying that its bad because I haven't done all my research and I don't want to discredit a legend with an inaccurate statement.

            Juan Laporte and Oliver Mccall had some dense chins

            Terry Norris had a horrible chin but had all the courage and heart one could Imagine

                Oliver McCall, David Tua, Tex Cobb, Marvin Hagler, Bernard Hopkins, Nikolai Valuev, all have some pretty damn good beards.

                Tommy Morrison, Julian Jackson, Nigel Benn among others had some pretty weak ones.

                  By far, Terry Norris. Dude had heart and determination, but no chin.

                    Patterson didnt have the strongest chin but most of the time he got up when knocked down, The only time he was knocked out by one punch was against Liston.

                      I have to add Tommy Morrison in for one of the weakest. When Bent even touched him, he was ready to go.
