Luigi1985 · 09-28-2007, 06:09 PM

I only mean champions or contenders, not journeymen who suffered perhaps only 3 KO´s in their 50 defeats. I made spontaneous a list in no order, perhaps I forgot someone, than say it NORMALLY please:

roper
chuvalo
ali
mccall
marciano
stribling
foreman
schaaf
baer
uczudun
tua
willard
jeffries
mays
cobb
mercer
langford
holmes
jeanette
young

Mcall and Mercer in recent memory along with foreman had great chins.

Exactly! That´s why I have them in my list!

Toney, sure he was a very, very pathetic heavyweight.. But come on, his chin is undeniable..

Tua and McCall def. stand above the pack when it comes to the more modern though..

Also, if Ali is in there, Holyfield should prolly get a mention too.. Not dropped a ton, but it's happened (same case with Ali).

Tyson gets a mention

Foreman should not be in that list.

He fought many punchers, even when he was shot (Frazier, Moorer, Briggs, Savarese, Morrison, Cooney, Cooper, Lyle, etc.), for me, he belongs to that list...

Luigi, so far as I can determine, only Tony Galento fought more than 100 bouts in the heavyweight division before being knocked down. That was in match 105, when Joe Louis dropped him in round two, for the only official knockdown of Galento's 110 fight career. For whatever it's worth, Galento also brawled in an era of five and six ounce gloves, and was not exactly gifted with the defensive elusiveness of a Benitez or Whitaker. (Jack Dempsey did knock Two-Ton out cold in a sparring session, testimony to Jack's awesome power, even in retirement.)

He wasn't a champ or a contender, but Ross Purity belongs to Top 10, IMHO, could be argued Top 5, probably.
