    Great pick for #1 chin :good Some of them (Golota, Izon, McCall) failed to KO Wilson in 2 attempts.

    Wach may have as good chin cause he's proven in Wlad and Povetkin fights.

    McCall, Chuvalo too.

    Lewis looks a bit confused, like "What the **** is this guy still doing standing?"

    Yes. Mercer, Marciano, and Ali, are up there too.

    Short piece about Wilson

    'A durable fighter who we had to include on this list is teak-tough journeyman Marion Wilson. Turning pro late at 33-years-old in 1989, Wilson would take on dozens of top class heavyweight prospects, contenders and veterans in going 12-41-4 (5).

    The single stoppage loss on the Maryland boxer’s record was in his second year as a pro when unbeaten Derek Isaman stopped him on cuts. The tough war-horse would avenge the loss the following year and would never suffer an inside-the-distance defeat again in taking the likes of Shannon Briggs, Hasin Rahman and Oleg Maskaev the distance.

    Wilson, a smallish heavyweight at 6’1” and around 210lbs, would box an astonishing 28 undefeated fighters in his 57 bouts and eight world champions from past or present. Wilson was a tricky and cagey fighter but could also take a very good shot. He could also provide the occasion surprise, such as in July 94’ when he held 38lbs-heavier Ray Mercer to a ten-round draw in Atlantic City. One judge had Wilson beating the former WBO champion by 97-94, many believing Wilson had been robbed blind. Wilson also broke the unbeaten streak of several younger fighters such as Paea Wolfgramm, who was 14-0 and out-weighed Marion by over 100lbs.

    The dogged veteran finally walked away at the ripe old age of 50 in 2007. His final bout saw him lose a decision to another experienced heavyweight in former champion Oliver McCall. McCall had previously beaten Wilson via disqualification when the losing fighter was thrown out for excessive holding.'

    Lewis landed that overhand right and uppercut constantly, mavrovic is just pure iron!

    Yes I remember all those guys. There are lots of extremely durable journeymen who have had tons of fights and are rarely ever stopped despite the fact that they're thrown in with everyone and anyone, often at short notice.

    He was making a comeback and was clearly past his best.The only person to legitimately K'D Ray in his prime was Evander and even then Ray voluntarily took a knee.
