    Heavyweight division only. Prob been posted 100 times provide whatever.
    How about top 3 chins provide examples if you feel compelled.
    1. Ali - Frazier and Foreman fights.
    2. Foreman - Lyle fight, and old foreman s performance
    against Holyfield, even though Holy wasn't known as the
    biggest puncher he was a power puncher who floored
    Bowe with a left hook.
    3.Tyson- Iron Mike. Holyfield, Lewis, and taking many shots coming in
    as a swarmer. But a lot of the headshots he walked into in the Lewis
    fight were unreal and that was 2002.
    Let's hear it school me with some old timers too. I know Louis should be up there as
    well. McCall as well.

    1) Max Baer

    Baer may have had the best chin of all time, any weight, p4p. The shots he takes are disgusting. The beating he absorbs before quitting against Louis is one of the most jaw-dropping on film. I counted once, and believe he shipped something like 30 flush power punches to Joe Louis in the first round of that fight. One of the most destructive punchers in hisotry. The triple left-hook KD, I really believe it's possible that he's the only HW getting up from that. He was a freak, I rank the beating he absorbed without being KO'd above the one LaMotta took from Robinson.

    I think Baer actually smiles at him at the end of the first.

    In my lifetime Eubank, Collins, Holyfield, Toney, Ward, Hagler, Pacquaio spring immediately to mind. Mclellan had some tough chin until his brain gave up.

    Ali had some ****in beard as well to be fair.

    Someone really needs to make a video about Laporte's chin.

    despite what this video tries to say, i think the punch holmes takes here from shavers was one of the hardest flush punches you could imagine...shavers, known as one of the greatest punchers, threw a perfect punch, he had his whole body weight behind it and i don't think he could have hit a man any harder than this.....it has always amazed me how holmes got up from it....to me it shows he had a chin.

    Hagalah.

    Although, it would've been interesting for him to test it against the Spinks Jinx (a damn fine puncher at 175). Mahvin ain't want the fight. Everybody comes to Mahvin.
