1/oliver mccall 2/vitali klitchko 3/marion wilson 4/nicolai valuev 5/gary mason all the others are proven bar mason / but he was never hurt that i remeber in 37 fights and went toe to tow with lewis and was never wobbled despite being bombarded. he lost because his eye swelled shut. chuvallo is more proven than mason / but i liked gary /great personality /and wanted to give his legacy a boost.
Marion Wilson, definite ATG heavyweight chin. All in spite of him being a small cruiser weight AND fighting until the extremely advanced age of 50. Look at his resume. Surreal.
Valuev had his legs completely taken from him multiple times in his career (Chicken danced in layman terms) and rattled several other times against mediocre punchers. This is despite everyone having to punch up at him, which takes plenty off of a punch. A lot of power at that considering his size. He had a good chin, I don't think it is worth mentioning in a top ten at heavyweight though.
This Russian gentlemen knows whats up. This content is protected He deserved the nod over Ray Mercer as well, I remember the commentators at the time being beside themselves.
Chuvalo, McCall, Cobb, Holyfield, Marciano. Also worth a mention are Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Holmes, Mercer, Tua, Vitali.
he was slow as treacle / had no head movement at all / got whacked in his head all the time and was never decked once. haye fight IMO imo was a balance issue . i watched all his tv fights and the man had a great chin / but very limited abilty / he won on size and toughness.
