    Only two fighters so far, two ACTIVE fighters proofed a diamond chin. That means, never down in whole career, never hurt, took punches from the strongest punchers without even stepping back.

    Hopkins is the third DIAMOND WARRIOR and can join the list.

    1. Mariusz Wach
    2. Oliver McCall
    3. Bernard Hopkins

    Others have decent chins too but they are not near diamond. Hopkins took punches from Kovalev, one of the hardest hitting fighters in boxing besides Wlad and GGG these days. That deserves respect.

    Hopkins has a great chin, but it's not diamond.

    Kovalev dropped him.

    Hopkins took some brutal shots in the 12th round.

    How many hard punchers weren't able to floor Hopkins? Trinidad and Pavlik. Kovalev was able to drop him, though.

    Kovalev doesn't hit that hard? Tell that to Agnew, Caparello, Cleverly, and Sillakh.

    Oh, sorry. It can be hard to tell if someone's being sarcastic on the Internet.

    Kovalev has diamond fists. (Remember, the only thing that can scratch a diamond is another diamond).

    49 year old Hopkins went the distance with Kovalev. I think that shows that he has a very solid chin.

    Wach over Marvin Hagler? Delete this muck.

    Wach is a no talent bum.

    Brewster and Purrity took the same shots and actually won. But Wach is before them for losing:patsch:nut
