    He fought a lot of big names such as Lennox Lewis 2x, Buster Douglas, Bruce Seldon, old Larry Holmes, Tony Tucker, etc etc. Never been dropped. Even in the 2nd fight vs Lennox Lewis when he was having a mental breakdown he never went down.

    Does he have the best chin ever (or at least in modern boxing) ?

    If not then who does?

    Yeah his chin was tough, like you say even during his meltdown LL was whacking him on it to no avail, are you talking just the HWs or in general.

    How’s it possible for non heavyweights to take stronger shots than heavyweights can?

    Well ain’t it obvious that heavyweights can take the hardest shots so why would you talk about chins in general when it’s obvious that whoever can take the hardest shots must have the best chin?

    and don’t call me Jesus

    He asked does Oliver have the best chin in boxing, and i asked is it just HWs he is talking about or in general, now obviously HWs hit harder, but that does not answer the question now does, there are many non HWs who have taken great shots at different weights and not gone down, so the question is debatable if Oliver McCall has the best chin in boxing.

    Jeez its not hard is it.

    So if you can take a shot better than someone else then that doesn’t mean you have a better chin? Is there a non heavyweight that can take a better or harder shot than McCall? And stop calling me Jesus

    Good

    so the answer is yeah McCall has a very strong claim to have maybe the best chin of any pro boxer ever. If you gonna put anyone forward to take all the hardest single shots ever thrown in a pro fight then he’s your man.

    and don’t call me god either

    Too late to backtrack now. You gave up cos you knew I was right. Also can you not reply without calling me Jesus or god though I can see how I might appear godlike to you.
