    De La Hoya and Mayweather are far from having an iron chin, and I don't think Tyson's was that great either.

    Chuvalo and Chavez are nice picks here.

    DLH got knocked down by Whitaker of all people, good chin but far from being iron.

    Oliver McCall has the best chin ever ... he's like an alien or something

    Chuvalo had a freak chin too

    Hagler literally has a different anatomy to his chin and punch resistance

    Wrong. Tyson almost always took major punishment before he was stopped. He had a helluva chin. I agree with you about Mayweather, but DLH have an A chin.

    We should have a chin test.

    We first let the guy box for 6 rounds, then he has to catch an uppercut like the one around a few seconds after 3:45

    If he stands: iron
    If he gets knocked down: suspect
    If he gets KOd:pure Khanium

    Zeljko Mavrovic the bread hustler is adamantium btw.

    TYSON had an iron chin. Shot Tyson took flush shots from Lewis
    for 7 rounds. Got rocked by Bruno early in his career whos is a
    Monster puncher. His last to losses he was shot to ****. I didnt say
    Mayweather had an iron chin I said granite, how he didnt go down
    from those flush Mosley shots is beyond me. I had taped De La Hoya
    vs Whitaker but it started from the second round so I deleted it.
    Elaborate on that knockdown please

    I always wondered how someone can get 5000 posts in less that a year.

    Definitely a few of those. It says I drop around 20 a day on average, but it feels like more. 20 posts could be done in one thread within two hours if I'm intrigued enough.

    I think Pinklon Thomas had one hell of a chin.
