    Who were some fighters in the past that we perceived to have a great chin before they got KOed?

    Ex:
    Mike Tyson (still has a great chin though)
    Roy Jones
    Paul Williams

    I thought about him also, but I think most people rate his chin very high

    Did people say Roy Jones Jr. had an iron chin? :think (except Jones himself, with his "can't be STAHPT!" proclamation :yep)

    :yep well not exactly iron, but I know people wouldn't call it glass. When people talk about him in fantasy matchups, I always hear "well if he gets to Roy's chin"
    when in reality, Roy's chin could be cracked in his prime, but not as easy as a lot of people claim

    When was Marquez ko'd?

    I'd say Sam Peter. Going the distance with Wlad and eating that left-hook in round 12 convinced many.

    McCline putting him down three times changed that, even before the brothers stopped him.

    Paul Williams by far, now a lot of people on here rate his "chin" as ****. Just goes to show how fickle people can be.

    Bennie Briscoe Before Valdez ( but he did have a close escape on the way up againt Rafeal Guteriez at Lt Middle )

    Dick Tiger, Albeit it took a Bob Foster bomb to dent it. (and perhaps a bit of aging?)
