Some guys just of the top of my head Jake Lamotta Julio C Chavez Juan Laporte Marcos Villasana Salvador Sanchez Marvin Hagler Jose L Lopez Sandy Sadler Johnny Tapia Kid Gavilan Zack Padilla Miguel A Gonzalez Yori Boy Campas Evander Holyfield
George Foreman Ray Mercer Saoul Mamby Hector Lopez Livingstone Bramble Merqui Sosa Wayne Mccullough Bobby Chacon Jose L Ramirez Aaron Pryor Alfred Kotey In Jin Chi Hector Camacho Ray Lovato Mickey Ward Paulie Ayala Azumah Nelson Marco A Barrera Erik Morales Oscar Delahoya Shane Mosley Ricardo Mayorga Juan Urango Marion WIlson Scrap Iron Johnson Rocky Marciano Vinnie Pazienza
Yep, Ali, McCall, Chuvalo, Holmes at HW for sure. Mosley and Robinson at welter. Lamotta and Hagler, Monzon, Fullmer, Basillio at middle. ODLH, Mickey Ward, Juan Urango has got quite a beard, Tapia, prime Holyfield, Foreman, Mercer, Vitali Klitschko, David Haye, Amir Khan, Tommy Morrison, David Jaco, Simmie Black...There's just so many.
atsch atschForgot about Duran. He had a great Chin the only one to dent it was Hearns,but dont let that fool you he had a Great Chin. Watch every one of his other fights especially the Barkley one.
How did he get up from the Bailey knockdown :shock: He got up and fought as if that didn't even hit him.
Chris Eubank Glenn Johnson James Toney Doug Dewitt Mike Mccallum Randy Shields Melchor Cob Castro Michael Carbajal Alberto Jimenez Daniel Zarragoza
I sure as hell thought it was over right there. I mean, getting up is amazing but to be composed enough that you're not really in trouble after that. I'm not sure who he could fight that could chin-check him with a single punch like Bailey. Granted, Bailey isn't exactly diverse but when he lands that right. Call a doctor.
tysons chin is very underrated...to this day i dont remember seeing him seriously hurt or stunned to the point where a stoppage could be justified in ANY of his fights......post prison his losses were more due to exhaustion and the erosion of skill. i dont see why anyone would put foreman in there, i wouldnt say he had a glass jaw, but his chin wasnt exactly granite, many fighters came to the verge of beating him, such as ron lyle, who was a whisker away from knocking him out. naseem hamed also had a great chin, but i feel that due to the natural evolution of boxing over the years, as in almost every sport, I would say fighters pre 1950's had cast iron chins, due to the volume of punches they would absorb, over the course of more rounds. for example, you only gta look at Harry Greb, Gene Tunney, Jack Dempsey and even Jack Johnson
:good:good:good You should have seen the power punches he got from hearns. A lesser man would have been knocked out in 1 round based on the power punches Hearns threw during his fight with hagler
