    This. Froch not being on that list is rediculous. He was swallowing power bombs from Kessler and Groves constantly. You might talk about his knockdown but it was a hard shot, he got up and ate everything Groves threw at him. I mean Kessler hit him with a thud of an uppercut clean and he barely blinked.

    I voted Garcia. Please before the fight was saying Matthysse was P4P hardest puncher

    When I watched the fight I simply couldn't believe the level of punishment Froch was taking. He was the Champion yet was being beaten like he was a journeyman. I've seen all of Froch's fights of the last few years and I've never seen him take that punishment period. He was so badly shaken that he wouldn't/couldn't throw much in the first few rounds.

    Exactly mate i agree he was getting outclassed in everyway and the stoppage was bull**** HOWEVER he gets big props for his chin and heart, its 2nd to none. Im not going to say he would have won fairly, and im not saying Groves would have either. The tide was definately changing but the ref ruined a potential epic ending. Oh well

    OP - put Froch in that list lol

    As i said though Garcia's chin is absolute iron. So much that nobody ever talks about Matthysse's punch power now even despite his brutal KO's before

    Not sure who is the best but Amir Khan is the worst.

    Those 7 mentioned all have very good chins. If you added Froch, Bradley and Chavez Jr you would have a decent Top 10 chins in boxing list.

    I agree that Chavez and Froch have great chins, and that Bradley has a pretty good chin, but this poll is about 2013.

    Chavez fought once in 2013, and both Froch and Bradley got floored. Good chins? Yes. Best chins of 2013? Of course not.

    Yeah I understand that. But despite being floored, Bradley and Froch showed big chin's to continue in the fight. Anyway, this is a very subjective list and I can see a case being made for almost anyone on the list for 2013.

    With a pretty decent lead over Danny Garcia and Ruslan Provodnikov, it's fair to say that our Iron Chin Extraordinaire of 2013 is Brandon "Bam-Bam" Rios!

    There is only 1 fighter on last list who took real punishment and DID NOT GO DOWN,
    Ruslan Provodnikov
    I can not believe Rios got the most votes, why for staying on his feet against Alvardo and Pac.
    Bradley beat on Ruslan like a heavy bag and the Bull kept coming until he beat bradley to the canvas.

    I voted for Rios, but I realized Danny Garcia won it

    Fighting to win makes you more susceptible to getting caught

    Mike Perez just might have the best Chin in the heavyweight division. He didn't blink when mago landed his bombs
