The REAL Best Chins Ever Poll

[Hous]

The people on the list are hilarious.Why is Ali on the list but not Foreman when Foreman had over 80 fights and only been down 4 times which is the same amount of times Ali been down but Ali had alot less fights.Not to mention Ali was hurt tons of times and Foreman was not.
Marciano was knocked down 2 times by one punch and the people he fought weren't really that skilled.Joe Grim was a bum and was knocked down tons of times he just got up most of the time and by the way he was knocked out a few times earlier in this career i read his story.
And stop watching "Raging Bull" Lamotta wasn't that damn tough.It was a freaking movie.Lamotta was hurt tons of times by weak punchers he just held on alot.Taking alot of punches from Ray Robinson is no big deal.Ray probably fought more bums in his career than any fighter who ever lived.
Chuvalo had a great chin and never been down but he was hust so many freaking times i can't even began to count them.David Tua never been down as a pro period or been hurt.Hagler was never hurt or down either (He went down from a slip but if you watched the fight you know it was just that a slip and not a knock down)
You people really need to learn your boxing and stop watching movies about fighters or going about what you heard.
And to the kid who said most of the fighters with great chins are italian..Then didn't you notice since the italian mafia lost control of boxing no italians have won a world title?Not to bash italians but italians are probably the most unskilled worthless fighters of all the races.I have seen great irish fighters boxing today.Polish,Russian,Black,Mexican,Puerto Rican.Normal american white,British,but where are the italians?There are none kid because they were only good at beating each other.

Why is he so offended by this? Does he realize these are the statistics from Ring Magezine?

Major racism about the Italian comment, but you do realize fought more black / Irish fighters than Italian. Just check out Marciano.

How many Mexican / Puerto Ricans have ever been in the heavyweight division? This isnt a P4P best chins list...

Maybe you should look at who these men fought and then compare their stats. Ali could have fought bums and never have been KDed, but he chose to fight the best, multiple times. Thats why he is in the top 10 best chins.

Whether it's his fault or not is irrelevant, we're trying to find out who had the best chin. Obviously a guy who gets tagged a lot is going to be hurt more, dropped more, and appear to have a worse chin than a guy like James Toney who is rarely hit flush. People knock Gatti's chin because he's often staggered but if Toney took similar punishment in every fight you'd see him appear stunned and staggered more often too.

Foreman was not hit very often by big punchers early in his career and when he met one (Ron Lyle) we all saw what happened. His chin was not as good as Ali's, who took punishment from Lyle, Shavers, Frazier, Foreman etc and in spite of it all was never truly knocked out or even hurt as badly as Foreman was against Lyle.

Hagler truly had a great chin but did he ever have a guy like Robinson or Foreman just tee off on him like LaMotta and Chuvalo did? No, so his chin wasn't tested to the degree that LaMotta's or Chuvalo's was.

LaMotta or Chuvalo, take your pick. Those were the two most tested chins I can think of.

Uh...yeah he had Tommy HEarns sit there and tee off on him. Hearns, who I consider to be one of the 10 best punchers ever, hit him with everything he had...and Hagler walked right through him.

Mr. 26-0 (26) Mugabi hit Hagler with savage hooks and uppercuts and Hagler never flinched. These are the best punchers of HAglers day and class just completely nailing him, with 0 result.

As for James Toney...he has taken plenty of very hard punches from all kinds of punchers (Jones, Nunn, McCallum, Sosa, Jirov, Littles) all the way up to heavyweight. Of course we know he has good defense and does many things to take the steam off his opponents shots, but he still possess a steel chin. Not the greatest ever, but one of the best of the last 20 years or so. I've never seen him hurt once. Dropped? Yes...but he was fine and was just caught with a very good shot from a very underrated fighter.

Maybe I'm just not a fan of labeling some guy who knows he's going to get hit a million times as having the best chin.

foreman had a great chin but the ali knockout will always be the way in which it is judged

ali had a better chin, anyone who doesn;t believe this should watch his fight against earnie shavers

[Heckler]

Chuvalo, Lamotta, Ali.

I'm pretty sure this is asking for the boxer with the hardest chin. I take that to mean not being knock down. Almost ever boxer will be hurt at some points in their career but i take having the hardest chin to mean not beinh knocked out and more improtantly not being knocked down. For this reason I say LaMotta - you can argue that Raging Bull making him look more tough than he was, but **** you try knocking that ****er down, your best bet would be in a car.
