    Oliver Mcall or Margerito probably in my time.

    i might give it to marg p4p because the guy didnt bother to defend he just left it to his chin and i cant see many other boxers taking that many flush shots from Mosley, cotto or pacquiao

    I'd say McCall.

    Margarito was stoppable, as Shane proved.

    McCall wasn't.

    I think people oversee Matthew Hatton's too much, never been dropped or hurt (I don't think so) although hasn't really taken shots from a huge puncher.

    Think Froch needs a mention too his defence is non existant at times so its much needed

    And alvarez dropped Hatton a few times....no shame in that really though.

    And Margarito may have been stopped but if Mosley landed that many rights on any other fighter at welter they wouldve gone....and it wouldnt have taken half as many.

    Mosley himself has a good shout for one of the best chins...only floored by pacquiao and forrest i think

    Trying to think of a few less obvious ones.

    Jake la motta had an unbelievable chin watch the videos dont take my word for it.

    Eubank, froch, Clinton woods all possess great beards.

    Holyfield, hagler, vitali as well is pretty solid.

    Brandon Rios' chin has looked pretty solid lately, considering how many flush shots he takes in all his fights

    Depends how far we're going back.. obviously theres LaMotta, Chuvalo, Hagler etc.

    Of more recent times, mentions would have to go to Toney, McCall, Margarito, Woods, Eubank, Holyfield, Glen Johnson, Penalosa.
