    Galaxy was KO'd in the first, Chuvalo in under six on two occasions.
    Smokin Joe in under four, Jess Willard against Jack. These are just some quick ones that come to mind.

    All of Lennox Lewis’ fans want to argue that he had a solid chin ....so I nominate him

    Archie Moore was knocked out several times....and yet no one ever talks about chin ...that’s interesting ( I’m not saying his chin was weak )

    Is "Iron-chinned" really how you would refer to Moorer?

    His war with Cooper suggests he wasn’t exactly packing glass, but he was far from iron.
