    What does this exactly mean, how hard Mosley punches, or how many of those hard Mosley shots Margarito took? Only reason Margarito was stopped was because of an excessive amount of punches and exhaustion. Dude was never knocked out. Stopped yes, but his lights were always on.
    Mosley hits harder than most Welters of this era. Mosley rang Floyds bell with just one punch. Margarito took about 500 flush ones and was still laughing when they stopped it.

    mosley is one of the hardest punchers ever and he punched marga super clear and marga still was alive, 99 % of the other boxers would have gone down and put to sleep by the barrage of punches mosley did on marga.

    How do you not have McCall or Hagler? Give you props for Tua though.

    Any list that doesn't include George Chuvalo is seriously lacking. Marion Wilson and Paul McCullough should probably be up there too. Ali is top 5, but he paid the price, and I'm honestly not sure it should be praised. Will to win is great, but might he have lived a much better life had he quit a couple of times? Jake Lamotta is also an obvious top 5 guy who is missing.

    De la Hoya is WAY too high. For example, someone like even Guillermo Jones should be rated higher. McCall should be above most of those guys too. Vitali has a good chin, but hasn't been nailed square by too many big punchers, and was down a lot as an amateur before he changed his style. I have a similar issue with guys who put Toney and Hopkins high on their lists - they just never got hit square because of their styles, so who really knows. IMO, someone like Glen Johnson who got nailed hard a lot by big punchers but never went down until his 40s should be higher than those guys, and I think he has the second best chin after McCall in the last 20 years. Holyfield is a good call, but still high IMO.

    I don't mean to rip your list, but there have been better.

    He was KO'd. He couldn't stand up after that last shot. The ref stopped it right as that last shot was being landed, but he was clearly KO'd. That's not to take away from anything else you said, though. Margo's chin is probably the best of this past decade.

    Foreman at least deserves a mention.

    If we're talking full career, possibly, though I'd still pick Glen Johnson. Prime for prime chin, Andrade had an insane chin, but when it started to go it want fast. Same goes for Baldomir. Both guys took TONS of flush shots from good punchers in their primes.

    Anybody with a list lacking Chuvalo is stupid.
    He fought everyone and never went down.

    Marvin Hagler also should be in every list, his only knockdown was a slip.

    G-Man has P4P the best jaw. He took shots from perhaps the hardest P4P puncher of all time in Julian Jackson. He was never wobbled, never hurt, and never truly stunned in both of their fights. It's amazing. He has to get a mention.

    I'm in absolute AWE of that Chin of Steel. This no doubt added a great deal to his brain injury in the Benn fight that formed.

    This is what Steward had to say on G-Man's Jaw of Steel
