    Where would we have to put that???
    Is 100 a high enough level for him?

    He consistently is taking H-bombs from murderous punchers fight after fight.

    You agree or somewhere less than 100??

    He has a great chin, but to be fair, we really don't even know how hard Moses hits. It's hard, but is it really that hard? No evidence.

    True.
    He is a very sharp puncher no doubt, but the artillery he has taken from Zhang, Dubois, Itauma, etc, with very little trouble has me convinced he is in at least the 90s lol

    The thing about great chins is they can be great until theyre not, and once theyre not everything can implode very quickly.

    But agreed, he definitely has an amazing chin as of now.

    I think he should have a category all to himself. Chin: Hrgovic

    Yeah Hrgovic just said in a post fight interview that he didn't feel much power from Itauma. He said it was more the speed that made him unable to see the punches. I imagine he felt more power from Zhang.

    Hrgovic said Moses does not hit that hard but is very fast, you don't see them coming.

    One of the greatest chins of all time, and I wouldn’t consider it recency bias to think so

    I'd say it's up there... if Vitali is 100 I would put Hrgovic at 95+

    He honestly has one of the best chins I have ever seen in the sport. Taking flush shots from guys like Adeleye and Zhang with no trouble is legitimately insane. Even the Dubious loss was due to headbutts and cuts. DDDs actual punches didn't seem to phase him much either.

    With the only other heavyweight to have knocked him down being Zhang, it's safe to say that Itauma clearly has power. Dubios, for example, couldn't even dent Hrgovic.

    Genuine question though, how many fights can someone really have where youre taking that many shots to your brain before your ability to withstand them starts deteriorating.

    Will be interesting to see how many more fights he has left where he can rely on his chin.
