    'Cause there's lots of great chins through history. History's a long time.

    The criminally low rated and despised wife killing, homicidal fiend Carlos Monzon HAD to have a great chin....after all, he's never rated as worthy to have an especially good defense, ....(can't quite make it up to the misty heights of the elite FAB FOUR), for having 100 fights, 3 losses avenged, no stoppage losses, only down 4 times,...some credit has to go to him having a great chin.

    I dunno, but it's quite a glaring oversight, isn't it?

    Finally someone with Eubank in their Top 10. He had a granite chin. I always thought Froch had some pretty solid whiskers as well - especially given how Groves battered him around the ring for about 8 rounds in their first fight!
