Probably not a great example as I am not saying he is some ATG puncher, but Groves landed a huge amount of right hands in Froch one. Picture perfect right hands that landed flush. Particularly in round 6, Froch showed how tough he is that fight more than any other.

 

Wach has an ATG chin no doubt.

 

Wladimir Klitschko beating Ross Puritty black and blue all night, but Puritty knocks him out in the end.

 

Duran took a left hook off Barkley that made him do a near 360 on his feet and he looked out while moving around.... But then Duran did what Duran does..n just carries on scrapping..what a beast

 

Also, GGG'S huge right hand on Canelo in round 5 of fight #1, Canelo didn't seem fased by it which was very surprising.

 

Past his prime Tyson eating Lewis' early right hands like holey water.

I thought he'd go down from some good big hard shots, but it took a lot longer than I expected.

It was almost like Tyson wanted to take the beating, till he couldn't take it anymore.

Then he just wanted to "faded into bolivion". When I heard him mispronounce oblivion in the post fight speech, I thought he said "Bolivian". And thought "**** I hope he stays away from the coke!"

 

Groves was bouncing them off his head in that round, while Froch was already fighting through a concussion sustained in the opening round. Awesome resilience.



I'll nominate some more while I'm here, a pair from '93;

Gerald McClellan took a bunch of hits from Julian Jackson in their first encounter, but most conspicuously in the 3rd round. First, there was a big right hand which had him holding on just past the halfway mark in the round, McClellan caught clean while pulling straight back from the punch. He then absorbed a number of rights high up on the head around the temple very shortly after, the most eye-catching of which made him back off sharply as Jackson followed up with a barrage.

A few months later over in the North West of England, there was Chris Eubank Sr. absorbing a howitzer of a leaping left hook from Nigel Benn in the 10th round of their rematch. Few could take a shot as well as that guy.
