    Always the same three or four examples bandied about by dozens of collective posters. Doesn't anyone pick up anything new over time around here? :ohno

    Joe Grim is probably the only actual non-generic answer in this thread.

    Anyway, if you want recent fights G Jones absorbing dozens of flush Lebedev bombs to the chin, most violently snapping his head back, was something I've rarely ever seen in modern day boxing.

    Anything with Marcos Villasana involved. That little dude was unshakeable.

    I think Mayorga actually took those lefthooks well. He rolled a bit with it. Maybe he was playing it off a little with his dancing, but he was throwing back and seemed okay until the final few seconds of that round. That last flurry, particularly the right uppercut, is what really hurt him. Mayorga couldn’t try to taunt or play anything off, he was too wobbly.

    The 5th and 6th rounds in particular was a royal ass kicking. Mayorga showed a crazy chin that night, but couldn’t take the body shots.

    Chavez/Oscar II in the final round, the 8th, Chavez certainly took a lot and never went down:

    Briggs said after the fight that Vitali was hardest puncher he’d ever faced. Not Foreman, nor Lewis, but Vitali


    Briggs endured it, though. Never went down, but the power Vitali had apparently really left an impression on Briggs

    I agree re: Groves 1. I'm not saying in terms of all time great fights but he took a lot of punishment in that fight. Tough tough man

    Spot on,makes you wonder about having an iron chin as re long term health,Valdez for instance surely can’t keep on having war after war and having his jaw realigned,he’s gonna end up like a Mexican James Toney lol.
