He is Top 10, for sure, but my vote for #1 goes to Jake LaMotta. The man was down once in over 100 fights and SRR brutalized him with 20 punch combos that couldn't put him down. Ali is also a legitimate Top 10 Iron Chinned Warrior, however.
But then again Sonny Banks, Henry Cooper, Doug Jones weren't big punchers. Ali had solid chin but not the best by a long shot.
good call. You know what's funny I was arguing with the Klit fans the other day. And they were: oh Frazier was fragile (god to say this about Frazier) and he was a small man that had no power. Still he was able to hurt one a fighter with tremendous punch resistance like Ali on numerous occasions.
Klit Klowns are absolutely delusional. The only person who ever put Frazier out was Foreman, and if getting brutally KOed by Foreman makes one Glass Jawed than 99.9% of the world's population has no Chin. Also, Frazier's left hook would have decapitated Wlad or Vitali, Wlad for sure. Corrie Sanders took Wlad out and hurt Vitali. Corrie Sanders is a ****ing part-time golfer with power that isn't even in the realm of Joe's, so to say that Frazier had no power is basically saying that the Klits have ****-poor Chins. Frazier/Vitali would be interesting for the simple fact that tall guys with a jab could frustrate the hell out of Joe and Vitali has an Iron Chin but Frazier/Wlad wouldn't even be close. Wlad has a good jab but he is completely lacking a Chin and Frazier would shatter his Glass Jaw violently at some point of the fight.
Frazier seems like bad match up for Wlad because he was so good at slipping the jab and coming with hooks to the head and the body.
Exactly. That, and the fact that Wlad's jab is highly overrated. Haye was able to stand stock-still with his hands at his side and slip 75% of Wlad's jabs, how would he connect on a guy who is so adept at rolling under jabs and coming up with the very punch that flattened Wlad multiple times? It's a horrible match-up. Vitali has a better chance against Joe but I still don't think I would favor him due to the fact that he does not have anywhere near the concussive power that Foreman did and it took some hellacious heat to keep Frazier at bay.
Yes , best chin ever . Damn the man was good. My favourite rounds in boxing is form the Liston 1st fight . Beautiful.
Sorry cannot agree. Look at Mosley vs Forrest 1 . Mosley was on ***** street at least twice . Toney has also been seriously wobbled and dropped. Ali has really only been dropped by Frazier and that was because he hadnt fought for three years. Yes he was dropped by Cooper , but lets be honest he was just a kid. Toney and Mosley have been on chicken legs in title fights.
