    One might be tempted into saying Rayco Saunders based on his record but many opponents (Sean Monaghan for one) have described him as having sneaky hurtful blows. A lot of that is because he throws counters you don't see coming but they have been described as stinging even if they don't produce lots of KDs or stoppages.

    People are just naming guys whose chin exceeds their pop.

    Threads seeks WILDLY DISPROPORTIONATE examples.

    Fenix Ruiz has a wider differential (and better chin, with zero pop) than anyone mentioned.

    :yep

    Not saying people need to necessarily top me, but at least be in the same ballpark.

    Ricky Burns for instance to me is neither iron-chinned nor feather-fisted. He's closer to average in both categories than he is to any extreme.

    Malignaggi has a pretty good chin. His power is abysmal.

    What about Glenn Johnson.

    I can't remember seeing him badly hurt, but I also can't think of many examples of him having legitimate power either.

    Recently, Chris Algeri seems to take a jelly
    Recently Chris Algeri seems to take a helluva punch, but doesn't seem to put much on his own
