    I don't think there were many HWs in history who had that ATG level chin, especially considering that the HWs used to be smaller and didn't hit as hard on average as the modern super-heavyweights that Wach fought.

    Does he have the GOAT chin?

    Foreman had solid whiskers, but getting KO'd by feather fisted ALI totally disqualifies him from the GOAT chin discussion IMO

    Some good mentions on this thread already. I'd add Vitali in there as well but don't consider him an ATG HW whatsoever. But that guy had a granite chin.

    Ray was dropped and bombed out by Wlad age 40, same age Wlad is now. I'd question if his chin was goat.

    Oliver McCall has to be in the discussion if not the consensus pick. When we talk about iron chins, he's the first fighter I think of.
