    Toney has been fighting heavyweights as a guy that started off at middleweight. He's been getting hit a lot, too much recently. Legendary chin.

    Hagler mentally was "VERY" ready and seemed immune don't forget. An everyone respected his resistance.:cool:

    Hagler I would say. But there is so little difference that I would not argue either way.

    Yes he was.

    But he still has the better chin.
     
  11. Hagler knew his place was at 160, not heavyweight...
    Holmes was the champ at heavyweight during Haglers prime and nobody was gonna beat Holmes,,,...

    its not so much Toneys Chin but his great defense he rarely gets hit clean.

    Hagler had a better chin.
    Hagler never had to deal with over-eating that forced him up to heavyweight.

    Regardless, Toney is naturally around 200 pounds.

    Hagler is not. You can't say Toney has a better chin simply because he took shots at a higher weight. Toney is naturally far bigger than Hagler.

    He was.

    Once.

    However, he did have a great chin.

    Toney has been down but h'es faced much harder punchers than Hagler.

    I won't say on this pick.

    Other than two Iron chins.
