**ATG top ten chins ever.....**

No, it's the essence of having good recooperation skills and boxing instinct, not a great chin. Guys like Hagler, McCullough, LaMotta, etc, guys who took HUGE punches CLEAN and were not even rocked are the true granite chins.

 

McCullough and McCall have to rate IMO.

 

Robinson was dropped in his welterweight title bout by Tommy Bell, and also by middleweights Levine and LaMotta.

Anyway, I need to do more research and watch more highlights before coming up with a definitive list.

There's too many factors that come into play.

 

Mccall has to be on the list, he has never been down in the amateurs or pro, hes been a pro for over 22 years without going to down. He took heavy on heavy hitters like Buster Douglas, Lewis, Williamson, Maskaev, and Bruno. This is not a top 10 chin list without the "Atomic Bull"

 

Ok then, out of curiousity, why is McCullough not listed? Or McCall (though at least McCall was rocked once)

 

LaMotta took some of the hardest clean shots I've ever seen from some great punchers like Robinson in 6 fights, never once dropped, and I'm talking combos straight to the jaw. He lasted the fight with a Heavyweight BOMBER in Bob Satterfield. He was beaten on, not rocked, just taking a beating, similar to how someone like Chuvalo did.

 

Simply watch McCullough vs Morales. That is all there is to it.

 

Best fighters aren't always the best punchers. But it's your list. Anyone who takes flush shots from Hamed and Morales (especially Hamed) is on any great chins list. Especially over guys who have been down multiple times. McCall fought some heavy hitters as well.
