    Glass cannons

    Name some fighters that were excellent offensively and/or were powerful punchers, but just were not durable.

    Tommy Morrison fits this description well. Could put together some very good combos and had a lot of power, but if someone caught him clean he folded like nothing.
    Herbie Hide also fits this description well. Terrible chin, but even when hurt still could wildly do a lot of damage.
    Julian Jackson and Felix Trinidad both fit this catagory, but at least Trinidad had very good recooperative ability and Jackson could take a fair amount of punishment when need be.

              Terry Norris was my first thought. Never took hard shots or punishment well. But any of the names you listed work for me too. I would also add Gerry Cooney and Jaime Garza to that list.

                I also think Cliff Ettiene had one of the worst chins I've ever seen. He would get hurt or knocked cold every time he got his solid from what I've seen. ALL he had was his offense.
