Ali: Best Chin All Time?

No, he's not. The best chin of all time wouldn't have been cracked by someone like Ken Norton.

 

Hard not to agree about Mosley especially after Pacquiao floored him

I don't think Toney has ever been seriously hurt mind although he has been down a couple of times Reggie Johnson came closest although I haven't seen this fight in a long time

And I can't think of a time ever when monzon was hurt either

 

It wasnt cracked by Ken Norton.

Ken won on points , no knock downs.

Ali did have his jaw broken in the second , but to say it had been cracked means he was stopped.

nonsense.

 

**** chins!

Let's crack one off over the bird in your avvy

:yep

 

Sorry i should have said.

i agree on Monzon .

Toney fight I cannot find now , but to be honest he did really well to recover, I think he took a shot high on the forehead and was really wobbly for about 2 rounds but still won.

If you find the fight let me know I as I would like to see it again . I dont think it was the Johnson fight as he did get dropped in that fight from a left hook , but was pretty solid.

 

Ali must be up there he faced many KO artists

Liston, Patterson, Moore, Quarry, Frazier, Foreman, Lyle, Shavers, Norton, etc and showed great sturdiness

many of the fights were post exile after the legs had gone and he had to go toe to toe more

 

borked!!!

 

You can think of guys with better chins (Hagler, LaMotta, Chuvalo etc.)

However what Ali had was an incredible combination of chin, heart, will, and ability to recover quickly.

 

Chin as in punch resistance, not his physical chin

 

Kid Gavilan, over a 100 fights never down...

 

I've always wondered how Ali's chin would have heldup against Tyson, Wlad.
He may have found himself on ***** street.
Foreman never tagged him in their fight and Shavers power was overated.
Liston was slow as molasses.
