    Britton is a great choice.

    Of recent times the WW with the best chin was Jose Luis Lopez the guy took huge shots without even blinking,very talented kid, too bad he was more interested in partying and being a surfer than being a professional boxer.

    Graham or Suga? I would probably keep it the same. To fight as often as Sugar out of his best weight at that level and only almost DIE once is still ****ing impressive :lol:

    Again, the 1940s-50s (The BURT BIENSTOCK Era) boasted some of the most impressive iron chins of all-time. Some a tier or so below the others, but all great nonetheless. The names roll right off the tongue (or fingertips): LaMotta, Gavilan, Robinson, Graham, Marciano, Basilio, Fullmer, among others. :deal

    Yes. I have a hard time rating Fullmer though because he got one punched by old Suga. :verysad

    Nope, can see my toes fine. Look at the complete lack of fat on my face and neck in proportion to arms. :deal

    Let's not make this a habit, eh? :D Troll baiting with SRR is a :nono :lol:
