    Good to see JMM got a mention. People confuse his balance with his chin. I think he puts himself in bad positions at times and gets dropped when he gets lazy bringing his hands back but i have never seen him shaky or about to go. He normally gets back up and starts firing away. Even in the second Pac fight where i think its the most hurt i have seen him he was firing and giving back to Pac as good as he was getting.

    Id disagree, i think his balance overall is good, but his chin is shaky enough to get him dropped. he just has amazing recuperative powers though. Shakes off huge punches after getting knocked down and comes back throwing soon afterwards.

    Where's Kessler??

    Nearly 50 pro fights. Never been down. Not even close to going down. Never down (AFAIK) as an AM either.

    Always nice to see some good Chin talk. Good list, I would like to of seen Oliver McCall listed though. Vitali is a Iron Chinned master indeed.

    Agree to disagree then.

    To me a shaky chin means your leg would be wobbly and you would look out of it but with JMM i have never really seen that. He gets back up and seems to be in control of his bodys functions. Like i said the 2nd Pac fight is the most i have seen him hurt and even then if you see after he gets up he is still throwing straight punches with speed and power right at Pac. His balance is not all that great man. If you look at him when he has gone down his legs were too wide apart so he got put on his ass. The Katsidis fight he just got lazy bringing that left hand back or was it right??

    Froch has a Good chin , But its nowhere near Iron .

    Hes been hurt by Taylor and Dirrell who power is nothing more than average .

    Glad to see Vitali on that list. I'll never forget that ridiculous uppercut he took from Lewis, hurts me every time I watch it haha. McCall should be on that list too though b/c he can take a lot of punishment.

    Considering the site, it's a surprisingly decent list.
