    With this recently talk of Usyk's chin what other defensive fighters had good chins ?

    I always thought Pernell Whitaker had a good chin, a majority of his knockdowns were due to balance. And he took a bit of beating off of Trinidad, whilst past his prime and went 12 rounds.

    Toney is the obvious one. Chris Byrd also had an underrated chin and Charley Burley I don't think was ever KO'd

    Besides the ones mentioned I think Marlon Starling had a sturdy chin. The Molinares fight doesn't count.
