What boxer today has the best chin? To me it is Vitali Klitschko. Ive never seen him hurt, dropped, or in any kind of trouble. Also, of all the weight divisions the HW division is the least likely to produce a fighter with a good chin so it makes his chin all the more impressive. I remember seeing his fight with Lennox Lewis and being shocked that he took all of those shots, i thought he would get KO'd early boy was I wrong. Runner up for me goes to Bernard Hopkins, he has been dropped before though but lately his chin is great and i dont recall seeing him in trouble in the last 10 years or so. Another runner up is PAcquiao, 1t 122 and below he had been dropped a few times but at 126 and above his chin has been excellent, he was never dropped by Morales, Barrera or Marquez. He also was never dropped by Cotto, Hatton, or DLH, all solid punchers in thier own right. He was slightly hurt by Marquez and Oscar Larios though. Other fighters with good chins are James Toney, Josh Clotty, Arthur Abraham, as well as a few others I might be forgetting. But anyway, state who has the best chin and why.
Wait a second, now...Pacquiao does have a pretty solid chin. I watched the highlights to the 1st and 2nd JMM fights on HBO on Demand, and he did withstand some hellacious shots especially the shot he took at the end of the 2nd round of the 2nd fight...OOOOOHHH! He showed a solid chin against Cotto, too. But no, he wouldn't be one that would immediately come to mind when bringing up chins, but his chin is noteworthy at the very least.
Only time i ever saw him even close to being hurt was against Forrest when he got knocked down. And that shot would have knocked ANYONE else out cold. It was so clean, Shane didn't see it and Vernon put all his weight into it. His chin is A grade moon granite
Margarito. Though we've not seen him for a while, and though he eventually was TKO'd by Mosley, he took a hell of a lot of punishment. Clean punches throughout the whole fight, punches others would easily have gone down from.
Based on what? The fact that he was rocked by Margarito, Cotto, and even the light punching Carlos Baldomir? This whole 'Clottey has a granite' myth is such bull****. I'm tired of reading it on these forums.
:good took unbelievable punishment against juan ma .. it was only roach who said enoughs enough gerry ...
