    George Chuvalo
    Oliver McCall
    Muhammad Ali
    Evander Holyfield
    Jack Dempsey

    Tex Cobb and Vitali Klitschko also deserve mention.

    Edit: Also Tua as Gonzo said, and probably Ibeabuchi, although we didn't get the chance to see his chin fully tested.

    McCall, Chuvalo, and Cobb made careers out of being tough.


    Of the great heavyweights, its Ali & Holyfield.

    Actually, this is the fight that caused Howard Cossell to denounce professional boxing.

    As early as round 9 you can hear how disgusted he was by the spectacle.

    Ali had a badass chin. Remember that left hook he took from Frazier and just got up immediately. That left hook wouldve killed average person!
