    Lamotta and Hagler

    Hey Napoleon, Andrade used to work at Burger King. Cut him some slack, lol. Honestly though, not sure who brought him up but he definitely shouldnt be on the list. Considering his circumstances though, he has a great beard.

    No I got nothing against Andrade. I was talking about Toney, since both of those guys brought him up.

    You pretty much proved that you don't know about Foster other than his name, which almost all boxing fans do.

    You compared Thomas Hearns and John Mugabi's punching power in a literal sense to Bob Foster's. Bob Foster, you know, the hardest-punching LIGHTHEAVYWEIGHT ever, against two great punchers who were naturally Jr. Middleweights. Again, no middleweight, Hagler included, stands up to Foster's shots.
    His power, in a literal sense, blows either Hearns' or Mugabi's away. That is an absurd comparison.

    Based on chin resume, I'd give McCullough a shout.

    I agree that it's certainly not #1, but what's the argument for Robinson's chin being outside top 20. 25 years and 200 fights and the only time he is stopped is by heat exhaustion. Add to it the level of guys he fought, especially when he was way past his best, I think Robinson's chin could be argued in for a top 10 spot.

    Actually, Bonavena knocked Chuvalo down twice. He wasn't really hurt or remotely close to being stopped; more like flash knockdowns, but knockdowns nonetheless.

    Ray Mercer deserves a mention, although Holyfield knocked him down.

    Yeah.

    But he was the hardest hitting HW of all time and Dick was a middle.
