    Best chin - Hopkins (unless we can count Toney as elite, which I doubt)

    Worst - WALDO by a mile.

    Arthur Abraham should get a honorable mention for best chin...

    No question about that. His ability to take pain is shocking. That broke jaw he had against Miranda was no joke.

    Hmmm...a heavyweight who beat the count after every knockdown in his career...?

    Wlad's chin is certainly mortal, but glass? And are we talking p4p or absolute ability to take a punch? If the hardest hits Wlad would have taken in his career would have come from Hopkins' opponents, he would probably never been stunned. On the other hand, do you think you could implant Hopkin's chin in the HW - division and expect it to withstand those kind of punches?

    Yep, his chin is for sure underated. Who is your pick though? We are talking elite so the fighter in question is bound to have a good chin...

    Obviously pound for pound.

    it's all good. no worries.


    anyway, bhop has a great chin and so does pac. among the title holders, i think fana has the worst chin but then again, he is not elite.

    i also have to go with wlad because among all those who rule their division right now, he has the hi8ghest chance of getting dropped in any given fight
