    We always talk about boxers with iron jaws that can take a good punch but what about the ATGs that could take a good shot to the body and not miss a step. Who are they?

    Ali of course. Holmes withstood some shots from Cooney and that left hook of his in their bout as well as some good body work by Ken Norton in their match. Ray Robinson overcame a lot of shots by many ATG's during his career as well.

    Currently Cotto seems to take a good shot, James Toney and Calzaghe too.

    Being able to take a body shot isn't exactly like having a good chin, which is very difficult for a fighter to improve. You are born with a chin to an extent. Having a 'china' body is just sloppy gym work.

    Cotto hasn't been hit with a good body shot ...

    Toney can take them good ... which is odd considering how chunky he is ... and Joshua Clottey ...
