    The only punch Donaire landed in the entire night, it knoccked Rigo down.

    There's a reason when a fighter puts so much emphasis on safety first at all costs.

    Much like Mayweather, knoccked down by Zab Judah in one round by a jab.

    Wrong, Wlad has never been koed.
    Always technically stopped, wich means that when the referee stopped the fight, Wlad was on his foots.

    Additionally, Wlad has never been put down with a single punch like Ward, Mayweather and Rigondeaux all did.

    Not to mention that he isn't even remotely as much defensive obsessed as those other three.

    Using The Ring's Top 10 P4P, here are my rankings of their chins:
    1. Mayweather
    2. Alvarez
    3. Ward
    4. Wladimir
    5. Froch
    6. Marquez
    7. Pacquiao
    8. Bradley
    9. Rigondeaux
    10. Sergio

    Edit: I feel 6-10 are arguable and interchangeable and 2-5 are highly debatable.

    Honestly, they surprisingly all have bad chins 2-down! Compared to what I'd expect. Sergio goes down almost every fight. Rigo has been down multiple times including the last fight. Bradley goes down, multiple times against Ruslan. Pacquiao just got dropped twice and the only one to go out cold recently on this list; obviously this is not a career achievement of chins list, but taking the recent into high regard Pac is not in a good place. Marquez still does get dropped frequently enough including against Pac in their fourth fight. Froch was known for the iron before Groves put him down hard. Wladimir hasn't been shaken in the slightest in what, 6 years? Ward seldom ever gets hit and while I don't think he might have the best chin from what we've seen he can't be much lower than where I put him. Alvarez has been punched in the face and while not by the best punchers he has only been hurt what, once? Mayweather is the only one made of iron and holding in current form as he has only been hurt in one round pretty much his whole career and now that was 4 years ago while only going down once officially against C. Hernandez and once unofficially against Zab.

    Froch is way too low.
