Tex Cobb wasn't human. I keep thinking back to his fight against Ernie Shavers: No human being should have withstood those right hands from Shavers. Tex just kind of looked at Ernie and punched back. Unreal. For glass jaws? Try Bob Satterfield. He had unreal punching power but no chin. His fights always stood a good chance of ending in one round: Either by him or by his opponent!
no james toney? this dude has one of the best beard's I've seen.
I agree. Toney has a great chin. Unfortunately, this is also the reason why it's probably not a good idea for him to keep fighting as all he is going to do is is keep getting his head beat in.
Hagler and Cobb are of course legends in this category
Evander Holyfield also deserves a mention. He was hit with some pretty devastating blows over his career and still kept going forward. (Like Toney, this is why he shouldn’t be fighting either.)

And the funny thing is that Cobb had amazing chin yet he was dropped 3 times in the 1st round and stopped in the 1st round by Dee Collier.
