top 5 iron chins in boxing

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Arreola. As much as I dislike the guy, he demonstrated an iron chin against Vitali.

 

I don't care what "most people think". Boxing is a proving ground, if you want to be credited as having an iron jaw then you have to do the leg work. McCall took bombs from some of the hardest hitting Heavyweights ever. Andrade was a human punching bag for 12 rounds against Mikkel Kessler, and let's not forget about Tua, ate everything Ibeabuchi and Lennox had to offer. I'll leave Valuev off my list until he goes into the ring with David Hate and eats consecutive right hand bombs. :good

 

Im gonna say it again. 2 pages of posts...no mention of Hopkins in a post about iron chins???

 

Watch the Travis Walker fight. :good

 

You are right, B-Hop should be on that list

 

audley harrison ???:yep

 

Probably because his defence is so good, but no doubt he can take a dig. Never seen him hurt since his very early days.

 

fair play to brian veras chin an'all

 

I remember the 24/7 for the Hopkins - Pavlik fight where Kelly's camp said that they were going to be the first to KO Bernard...with dead serious looks on their faces. They then cut to Lampley and a few other boxing scribes and they all have this look on their faces...like...ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME? And then Lampley chimes in with, "Noone knocks out Bernard Hopkins!".

Hilarious.

 

Okay. :good

Urango's got as solid a chin as there is in the sport today. Only time he's been dropped was by the boy Randall Bailey, and that shot would've paralyzed most junior welterweights

 

This thread has nothing to do with the outcome of that fight, I'm aware of Haye's frailties. Regardless of the outcome he'll land some bombs, it is going to happen, and Valuev's response will determine how I rank his chin because I believe him to be the biggest puncher Valuev has faced, and has the type of speed that will ensure he lands clean.

I'm not overly impressed with the punching power of his other opponents, not to mention they are all a foot shorter and lose leverage. I'd be more impressed if he took the Klitschko's punches and remained upright.

 

a blown up mw dropped haye big guy.

 

he pussed out on both the klits.
