    Lol yeah because every time Lennox Lewis landed a uppercut he knocked his opponent out. Vitali was hurt badly from one punch by Corrie Sanders. GGG has faced out maybe huge punches? Don't say Canelo either.

    Chuvalo, McCall, and Foreman did have great chins though.

    Mayorga got KOd multiple times. He could take a punch when he was bracing for it but that's it.

    We all know he put cement on his gloves. But can't deny the fact that Margacheato had one hell of a chin.

    I feel like Vitali's chin is kinda overrated. Lennox Lewis (Who was way past his prime) and Corrie Sanders could hurt him. While guys like Samuel Peter could take a series of Wlad's right cross without a flinch. Even Wlad admit that Peter has the best chin out of every fighter he has ever faced, he also said that he's the strongest because his punches couldn't even push him. Wlad even landed a left hook (arguably his most dangerous punch) flush on peter's face and still won't go down but too sad, he relied on his chin too much that his resilience wasn't the same.

    You put in Foreman who has been hurt, rocked, wobbled and knocked out, but leave out Hagler?

    Do you even know what an iron chin is?

    Jesus.

    Even though Manny has been KO’d by a nuclear missle from Marquez, he has eaten a ton of shots.

    phenomenal chin imo.
    I’m surprised there’s not a hater Manny vid of more of his knockouts in his illustrious career.

    Corrie Sanders was a banger with his left hand. Vitali absorbed a flush left hand from him and while it did wobble him, he was able to survive and recover pretty well. Vitalis chin was proven when he took the uppercut from Lewis. It was a rare case of a guy proven to have an elite chin by one moment in his career. This video I made shows the uppercut in slow motion. timestamped
