    Best Chin??

    Who has the best Chin in boxing??

    i have to go with Wayne McCullough over 300 fights and never touched the canvas and that includes fights against Hamed and Morales

    Jake 'The Bronx Bull' La Motta is widely credited as having the best chin in Boxing history! He was one tough S.O.B!

      I'd go for Lamotta too.
      In recent years the heavyweight Ray Mercer had an Iron Jaw as well.

        People seemingly forget George Chuvalo.

          Well, since the Heavyweights take the biggest punches and can obviously take more than lower weight class fighters, the fighters mentioned should probably be HW's. My personal Top 3 is this:
          1-George Chuvalo
          2-Oliver McCall
          3-David Tua

          All had plenty of fights to showcase their ability to take a punch. And I just based this purely on looking at how they took their punches. Most impressive ones were Chuvalo against Foreman, McCall against Lewis and Tua against Ibeabuchi. None of them were ever knocked down(Meh, I still say the Rahman KD was a fluke for Tua) or hurt to the point of going down or forcing the ref to stop the fight.

            What about Marvin Hagler, that guy has been in there with the best and the hardest punching middleweight ever Thomas Hearns and still never hit the canvas. Solid ****ing chin!!!

              hearns had the power to knock out roberto duran who was well known for a good chin and great hear.

              hearns punches didn't even make hagler flinch!

                Exactly, Duran went the distance with Leonard and Hagler never got knocked out, but he then faces Thomas Hearns and literally gets anhialated fast!

                I don't know what to really think of it, but from the looks of it I would say Marvin Hagler could take a good punch from a heavyweight and not go down. The guy was a walking granite chinned mad man. Hagler always brought the fight and always got hit with the hardest of punches never once did he taste the canvas in his career.

                Hard to beat the fact that Marvin Hagler has one of the best if not the best chin anyone has seen in a middleweight !

                  i would put Tex Cobb at the top of the list. Larry Holmes is a hard puncher and Cobb took those bombs all night. and Ernie Shavers is arguebally one of if not hardest puncher and in history and Cobb stood there in front of him and absorbed all of that punishment and ended up beating shavers.
