    It didn't look like it against Mosley, but I'm going to pick Antonio Margarito to make a point here...people continuously cry foul at his win over Miguel Cotto. People assume that just because he got caught with plaster in his hand wraps against Shane Mosley, he must have had them against Cotto. IT HAS NOT BEEN PROVEN! It is all pure speculation. But one thing is certain - plaster wraps or not, Margarito walked through every single punch Cotto threw that night!

    a lot of jorneymans like Beranza, Salif, Zack Page,ect have far better chins than those guys that why they are journeyman because can take a lot of punhes again future elites, contenders and prospects and still got beat by a one sided UD and next month fight again and get beaten too. But by far one of the is Ben Takie that guy had a titanium chin, this guy and McCall have incredible chins.

    In absolute terms,
    Vitali.

    Vitali.

    Or Toney.

    Or Abraham.

    Or Mayweather.

    I got to say McCall as well. The man has been in the game for over 20 years now, and has yet to have touched the canvas. He even let Lewis land a few with his hands down, Lennox couldn't even stun him or anything. That truly is the definition of an iron jaw.

    McCall
    Penalosa
    Mosely
    Margarito
    Froch
    Hopkins

    There are a good few that we don't really know about as they are so many fighters that have a good defense and dont take many clean punches often which makes it hard to judge e.g. Mayweather being a prime example.

    I hate him, but for me it has to be Margarito. Yes he was stopped in his last fight, but NOBODY in boxing takes the punches he did and stays up. The guys defense is his face.

    Mosley and Hopkins have good chins (great in Mosley's case), but they don't eat anywhere near the amount of shots Margarito does.

    I'll also throw Andrade into the equation as well. That guy takes some serious shots!!!
