    I put that down more to Forman being spent physically than his punch resistance.

    Good call Purrity had a fantastic chin. But Wach is right up there with the best of them.

    We've seen too little from him to gauge. But he sure took one of the most impressive heavyweight punishment ever in the history of the sport.

    And you're right, but the majority opinion is that ali simply cracked his chin (even if he barely laid a glove on him)

    It's certainly the biggest. I think he injected it with plaster.

    For me, the two best ATG chins in HW history is a tie between McCall and Vitali. McCall took more shots than VK, but 1. he was kd'd (without credit from blind ref) by Akinwande and 2. Was great at rolling with punches, never took anything as flush or as powerful as the uppercut Vitali took from Lennox.

    Wach may end up on the top 10 ATG chin list, but Wlad and Povetkin are the only great punchers he's faced to this point and Povetkin's power is a bit overrated, I'd put him as a fringe top power guy. The other active fighter who has a chance to get there is Duhaupas. I've seen him take incredible shots. If he fights some more top guys and never goes down, he could be an ATG chin.

    The 215 pound Croatian baker took far more Lewis uppercuts and didn't falter nearly as bad as Vitali did.

    The video evidence would prove the chin of Željko Mavrović was a lot sturdier than Vitali's. Vitali may have the most overrated chin in the history of the sport.

    lol, whatever dude. Keep with your delusions, he never took anything as clean and powerful as that uppercut, and he certainly didn't "falter".

    Well i saw the fight and i'm willing to believe in what i saw before me than the stalemate you're trying to sell.

    The guy took about 20 cleaner , sharper , harder uppercuts from a Lewis who was firing on all cylinders.

    Vitali took one and was staggering around like a drunk on deck a ship in rocky waters.

    One of the cleanest combos I've seen a fighter take. Mavrovic had a monster chin.
