    Give a fight that showed a really really good display of chin. Arturro gatti vs micky ward does not put in this list. I feel like fights with hard punchers are more likely to be in this category.

    1. Jose Ribalta vs Mike Tyson
    2. Larry Holmes vs Earnie Shavers 2 (only for a moment)
    3. Johann Duhaupas vs Deontay Wilder

    Any opinion ? no need to actually rank them I just wanna know what other chin display fights we didn't notice

    All great examples, but none come close to chin that Shannon Briggs showed against Vitali.

    I don't remember Briggs ever even being down in that fight. For a limited B level fighter that did nothing to even deserve a title shot, Briggs chin stole the show that night

    Gerry Penalosa vs Juanma Lopez.

    Lopez, a massive puncher, broke punch stat records on poor old Gerry's face. And Gerry smiled.

    Oh yes! Muhammad may have been way past even his seventies best by the time he fought Shavers but he still had that cast iron chin.

    Holmes-Cobb

    Gomez-Pintor - Yeah, I know, Pintor was stopped, but the amount of shots he took leading up to that was incredible. Especially considering the guy he was facing.

    Holyfield-Qawi 1

    Saad-Lopez (either)

    Robinson-Lamotta 6

    Gavilan-Bratton 3.

    I don't know how Bratton survived. The ref should have stopped it well before the last round. It ruined Bratton both as a fighter and as a fulllly sentient being.
