    Isn't he still in jail?

    Half the fights McCullough was in you can make a case for it, with the bout against Hamed going right up there with the bout against Morales, although after a certain point Hamed just gave up going for the KO.

    Eubank vs benn 1 , both fighters took some absolute bombs and kept going until it was eventually stopped.

    Any fight of note that Wayne mc Cullagh has had this past 8/10 yrs, in particular the Scott Harrison fight, Morales and Hamed spring to mind also.
    Hes a game fighter is mcCullagh, too game for his own good.

    The first one that always springs to mind for me whenever I'm asked this is Tony Zale's chin against Marcel Cerdan - that guy was just inhuman - his chin must've been made from steel - how he took so much is completely beyond me???

    Thinking a bit left of centre Don Cockell's chin against Marciano - he absorded an absolute shellacking - some reall brutal shocks bang on the chin and some how managed to ride far to many off them for his own health

    another Iron chin was Steve Collins - did anyone really ever hurt that guy?

    Willie Taylor getting the ever loving **** beat into him against a young Michael Spinks. Referee had to stop it in the end to prevent any brain damage.

    Holyfield vs Tyson I
    (In particular, I'm still in shock that he walked through the 1st punch of the fight - a full power overhand right from Tyson on the chin.)

    Holyfield vs Lewis I
    (I thought Lewis showed enough aggression here to drop the ancient Evander, but it still didn't happen.)

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Tyson vs Ruddock I & II
    (It looked like Tyson had concrete in his jaw as he took huge bombs from Razor in both brutal wars... as a commentator in fight 2 said of him:
    "Tyson is like a fighter from the '30s or '40s, he takes a beating and keeps coming forward".)

    Tyson vs Lewis
    (The fact that Tyson was shot-to-**** and badly gassed here makes in even more impressive that he took many monstrous bombs before finally being stopped in round 8.)

    Marcos Villasana in both Paul Hodkinson fights. Hodkinson who could punch hit him with everything barring the kitchen sink.
