    There's only Tyson Fury who punch himself!

    But i'm 100% agree that Andrade is a though one!

    :good

    That is so true about Carlos Baldomir. I have seen him take some shots that didn't even faze him, especially in the Vernon Forrest fight.

    Remember Vitali may have a granite chin but his facial skin appears to be made of paper. After a couple dozen of Lewis' punches Vitali's face looked like if it had been sandblasted.

    Even Johnson's jabs left a couple of swellings, to my big surprise. I never saw those punches happen during the fight, just Vitalis face was busted up afterwards.

    I knew I was forgetting some people. Mosley has an awesome chin. Probably as good as Hopkins. Also, David Tua has one of the best chins in boxing history.

    The best chin perhaps of all time, this guy i think retired a few years ago was Marion Wilson, he went the distance with everyone. Also Ross Purity has a very good chin in his prime. Thing is the latter 2 were journeyman so people always tend to forget them.

    You can put Arreola on the list. He ate a lot of leather against Vit and was still standing when they stopped it.

    I'm not 100% about Sanders, but Lewis never hurt Vitali.

    I'm guessing you're talking about the uppertcut?? If that is it, then Vitali gets hit, and he immediatly steps forward and clinches, his legs didn't buckle and he had balance the whole time. Just cause he clinched doesn't mean he was hurt.

    Why do people repeat bull ****? Adamek dropped Dawson. Against Dawson, Adamek never touched the canvas. The only time this happened is with Paul Briggs and that was a trip.
