    Why? Every one of the guys you named hit very hard. Lewis hit extremely hard.

    Either way...

    What about Big George Foreman? He was stopped by Ali, but that was more from exhaustion then anything else. If you look at the amount of fights he had in both careers and really was only hurt by Ron Lyle, considering the amount of greats that he fought, that is quite impressive.

    Max Baer belongs in the discussion. Only stopped for the count once in 84 fights, and that against the great Joe Louis. His only other stoppage losses were two TKOs to Lou Nova late in his career. The guy had a granite chin.

    Indeed he does. Basically you can punch Baer in the face as hard as a human is capable of punching and Baer could beat the 10. It sort of becomes silly at that stage to try to argue about who was better in this department, Baer or Jeffries.

    If you don't have George Chuvalo at top spot, you don't know about Chuvalo. Only ignorance can place him anywhere but first. Putting him thirteenth is a flat joke, and I won't comment further than that.

    Maxxy in my opinion was an underachiever he had the talent but not the spirit.....with a guy with his chin and power, he should ahve been HW Champ for a long time...in fact I question his chin, when the lighter Joe Louis connectd 4 masterfull left hook that left Maxxy on the canvas

    I'm surprised Ray Mercer weren't mentioned. I believe he only ever went down from a body shot delivered by Holyfield and absorbed huge punches from Morrison and Lewis without so much as wobbling. Funny thing is it seemed like his head didn't move much when it was hit!

    mccullough and steve collins have to be in any top chin list,absolute chins of concrete!mccullough took on some of the hardest punchers in boxing p4p,while collins to my memory was only down once in his career and that was from a body puch,from that alone you have to consider him as a boxer with maybe THE toughest chin.

    Another surprising ommission: Julio Cesar Chavez. A come forward pressure fighter, that even De La Hoya couldn't put down at 147lbs. Chavez went down ONCE in world title fights I believe against Frankie Randall, his irst loss.

    Well what about guys like Sandy Saddler (1 loss by stoppage in 160+ fights) and Maxie Rosenbloom (2 stoppage losses in 300 fights, 1 very late in his career the other a questionable low blow)?

    There's so many guys to consider, and some of whom we lack much footage on and can only go by reports.

    I love Sandy, but I always contended that he was fighitng at least one weight class below his natural boxing weight...that said, he did display incrdible chin
