    Adamek has a good chin, but I wouldn't say it's granite.

    Um, excuse me?

    And you have Ali in your avatar? I'm disappointed you have never watched the fight before.

    I couldn't count more than 10 punches Foreman lands that would qualify as anything other than "grazing" or "partially landed" throughout the whole fight. And there was def not a single "bomb" from Foreman, that's for sure. Foreman whiffed or Ali blocked every single punch in the fight. Foreman looked more caveman and brutish in that fight than any elite fighter ever has in history.

    Walker put him down hard just over a year ago.

    I would mostly agree though, very good chin.

    Randall Tex Cobb vs Holmes

    Mustapha Hamsho vs Hagler

    I have never seen a greater display of granite in a chin then Cobb and Hamsho being rippd repeatedly by great punchers and not even wincing

    I always think Hagler when granite chin is mentioned.

    Gerald McClellan as well he took some big punches from the P4P hardest puncher in boxing and took some hard ones from Benn and got knocked down because of the clot.

    Mavrovic took a pounding from Lennox, and took more big shots from a prime-Lewis than Vitali did from an old-Lewis, so I think that's got to be considered one of the best displays of granite chin.

    Margarito against Mosley.

    Even though he eventually went in the 9th round, Shane had to hit him with everything to get him out of there.

    Yes, but he was in there with a cheating punching bag who just got caught trying to cheat moments before. (this is not a defense of Margarito... the opposite actually)

    If we're going by Margarito's displays of chin, the beating Pacquiao gave him warrants higher praise than Mosley actually KD'ing him a couple times and ending it in the 9th.

    Pacquiao of 2010 vs. Mosley of 2008. Who had more power?
