    There have been some mighty hard *******s in the history of the sport but in your opinion who could take shots all night long and not crack?? When i ask myself this question i always seem to come up with African fighters eg Ben Tackie etc. By all means having the ability to take shots all night long does not guarantee a good fighter but ask khan, it sure does help.

    despite the 'disney show' around him oscar fought some pretty fair country fighters and never got sparked.

    oscar might have been shy skill-wise to be a great fighter but his chin was outstanding.

    it's a big reason why he is where he is today

    Toney good choice - Middleweight through HW, that is a damn good chin.
    Evandar Holyfield gets my vote also - been hurt but that was against the biggest baddest HWs on the planet.
    Chris Byrd in his prime (before that trip to LHW and the weird change at the tail end of his career)
    Antonio Margarito is a good one, though he is fighting smaller guys.

    I'm going to agree and also put Hagler up there as well. Two middleweights who would take shots and never stop.

    McCall, Chuvalo and LaMotta.

    Have a feeling Margarito will be on that list when he retires.

    Dick Tiger's chin was no worse than Hagler's. I think LaMotta is a shade ahead of both.
