    It's gotta be Gennady Gennadyevich Golovkin... Curtis Stevens and David Lemieux both detonated some flush bombs to no effect. Gennady didn't even flinch.

    Ggg and Joshua, anyone who claims either don't have proven great chins are crazy. Never seen ggg blink in the amateur or pros. Seen joshua buzzed once by a very he averaged banger by a desperation shot he didn't even see. 5 seconds later he was completely recovered fully.

    Not a fighter from 154 to 175 that could hurt ggg by a shot and Joshua would have to be caught by Wilder full bore without seeing or expecting shot.

    Next few years is going to see utter dominance by these two forces. Those are 2 that have proven beyond any doubt to have great chins, and really, great everything's

    Couldn't have a great chin in reality. He's stood up to bombs throughout his career.

    There's a possibility that him draining himself so bad for so long, he adopted the China chin namesake. I do feel we will see the strongest, best and possibly sturdy chin khan at his natural weight.

    So many think, ignorantly that what weight a fighter starts at is their natural weight, not true.

    Khan was draining himself as was Mr ward, wards always been a lhw, back many years before turning pro. Khan I felt was always a big ww draining to jww.

    Once a fighter starts weighing in the night of the fight with their weights in weight, you'll know they're not actually fighting at their natural weight.

    Watch khan, weigh in at 152/55 then be min 165 to 168 fight night. Making canelo having at most a 5 to 8 lb in ring edge

    Its embarassingly that some are still making excuses, KHan is at the end of his career. He had a bad chin in the amateurs, at lightweight, light welter and Welter. He just has a really bad chin! Hes avoided punchers throughout his career and still be knocked the **** out 3 times , dropped countless times, wobbled and hurt countless times.

    Apart from the Maidana fight where he was running and his legs were all over the place it was like a circus show ( he should really have been stopped) he has never stood up to bombs in his career. Maidana is the only puncher hes ever faced cause he was his mandatory,

    Danny Garcia, because he took lots of flush shots from good punchers like Lucas Matthysse, Kendall Holt and Amir Khan.

    Golovkin hasn't really proven he has a good chin. He took maybe 3 good shots from Stevens and maybe 2 from Lemieux, but apart from that he's only fought feather-fisted boxers. I'll believe he has a chin when he takes some shots from Eubank.

    if Garcia has a iron chin then my god what type of chin does ruslan have?

    Ruslan took 1000 way more shots from lucas then Garcia and never buckled once and he never stopped coming forward

    Garcia took maybe 4 or 5 flush shots from looks and wobbled couple of times and had to fight from the backfoot

    Lol @ Joshua having a good chin!

    First game person to hit him back made his legs go stiff! Whyte is no puncher, either.

    Provodnikov gets my vote too. GGG also seems to have a great chin but it's a bit less proven as he doesn't get hit with many really good shots.

    Provodnikov gets my vote. The thing is, Golovkin doesn't take even half the shots Provodnikov took against Matthysse. Matthysse unleashed his ****nal on Provodnikov, and Provodnikov walked right through it. Each was a KO punch, and it didn't phase him once.
