    As long as Oliver McCall is still active then GGG best bow down to the best chin in boxing

    Wach vs Wlad rd 8 I think was the most brutal I´ve seen without KDs or even close to going down.. deserves a mention.

    Who has he fought and taken punches from to say that? Had he taken bombs from Lemieux and laughed them off, maybe. His chin is good, but it hasn't been tested that much against good 160 punchers.

    I know Pac's gotten KO'd but his chin has been so dependable for him in fights where he's taken clean, flush shots from bigger guys and punchers his size. I'd say his chin is much more proven. That's what a dependable chin is about. You are in a tough fight, taking big shots and it doesn't let you down. Pac has gone through that many times.

    Pac does not have a better chin than GGG...
    GGG has never been dropped in almost 400 fights. You're telling me he's never fought a big puncher in 400 fights?

    He took a few good shots from Lemieux and kept a poker face,only to make Lemieux wish he never landed them.

    I was never really convinced about Golovkin's chin until after the Lemieux and Jacobs fights.HBO was mentioning it all the time but I needed more proof.Those 2 fights and the Canelo fights made it absolutely obvious he has a great chin, definitely one of his strong points. Hopefully he will continue to have a great one, you never know, this is boxing.I think GGG and Canelo have the best chins in boxing right now,Canelo went 24 rounds with GGG and didnt go down, he also got nailed with a Sunday punch from Jacobs and didnt flinch.Both have very impressive chins.

    Right. Lemieux is the hardest puncher on any of these guys resume and GGG didn't really give him a chance. But Jacobs is a big puncher and Canelo isn't anything to brush off either and both landed on Golovkin. Stevens also has good power and Golovkin ate one of his combinations like it was a pizza roll.

    I saw the stevens one. First 3 rounda Stevens backed ggg up and had him jabbing safety first .

    In my opinon though. Stevens is a bigger puncher than jacobs and canelo
