    6. Joe Frazier
    7. George Chuvalo
    8. Ray Mercer
    9. George Foreman
    10. Riddick Bowe

    Worthy of mention - Lamon Brewster, Jake Lamota, James Jeffries

    TOP 10 CURRENT Current Chins
    1. Oliver McCall
    2. Shane Mosley

    So what if Hopkins has iron chin when he has glass balls after all, his chin is **** anyway.

    I don't agree with Sherman Williams, he fought bums mostly.

    Your list needs people like Ali, Farr, Gavilan and Greb.

    When you've fought so many Heavyweights in that era, including Ali 3 times, and you've ONLY been KOd by Big George (the corner stoppage in Ali III doesn't count), you can be on this list.

    I'm no Arreola fan, but his chin can take an ass kicking.

    Frazier had a great chin. His ability to absorb blows was immense. Tough as hell. George Foreman is one of the hardest punchers ever. And Frazier still kept getting up. Frazier's place is warranted. La Motta should be in it though.

    I'm sure everyone's list would be different. LaMotta & ALi surely get honorable mention indeed. :hey

    Right on! Rico is the King of the Chin Talk on ESB. Gotta keep these Chins in CHECK, wether or not they are Fragile Glass or Iron Chinned Heros.

    I would put Pac for current chins. He took very well shots from JMM and Cotto especially a couple of upercuts from the later

    for the past chins SRL took some hard shots from Hearns maybe the hardest hitter at WW. La MOtta obviously, Sal Sanchez and JCC from the Mexican warriors. Especially Sanchez took shots from some of the hardest hitter ever without changing his facial expression

    Im not denying that he has a great chin but I do believe that there are guys who are more deserving of that 6th spot.
