    Glencoffe Johnson's chin is nothing if not granite yet he was stopped by Hopkins.

    Tony Canzoneri had 170+ fights yet was only stopped in his final fight so he must be up there.

    Even though he was dropped a couple of times Aaron Pryor's chin was fantastic yet he was also stopped once.

    For me I would say Larry Holmes against Mike Tyson. Only time he was ever KO'd in a 75 fight career where he faced alot of guys who could punch. (Norton, Weaver,Shavers, Cooney, Witherspoon, Bonecrusher Smith, Tyson, Mercer, Holyfield, McCall) Plus Larry was past his prime and out of the ring for almost two years when he faced a prime Tyson.

    Tiger and Fullmer are great examples because they both had great chins and were stopped by a single shot rather then an accumulation of punches. Henry Armstrong was cleaned ko'd only once and that was in his debut apparently he also was gassed bad in that fight who would have thought he would turn out to be the fighter he was after that.

    Valdez over Bennie Briscoe is another one that was a big surprise.

    Billy Miske springs to mind. He was only ever KO'd (Or knocked down for that matter) in his third fight with Dempsey, when he had brights disease.

    Lamotta and he was stopped by Billy Fox ,Ray Robinson and Danny Nardico .Mcgrain.Runner up? Joey Maxim ,stopped once by Curtess Hatchet Man Shepard.How about Robinson himself? Stopped only once by heat exhaustion against Maxim.Jack Dillon old time great LH stopped only once early in his career I beleive,ditto Jack Dempsey.Muhammad Ali?
