    Yeah, skimming over Galento's record a while ago I don't think I ever saw a pure KO stoppage. Bad cuts here and there, though.

    r U TAKING THE PISSS. LEWIS NEVER HAD A GREAT CHIN. U COULD ARGUE HE HAD CINA IN THAT AREA

    DURAN WAS KD A FEW TIMES AND KO'D BY HEARNS (NO SHAME). He can't clain to have one of the ATG CHINS

    Chuvalo? Hagler? Duran? Even Cobb... These men are well known for having solid jaws.

    Talk more about Tony Canzoneri, Beau Jack or Panama Al Brown. Lurking around in the even deeper depths of obscurity are Billy Graham, Willie Joyce and Lew Tendler. Delve even deeper and you will find iron-jawed warriors such as Henry Hank and Eddie Perkins submerged away from popularity.

    Marvin Hagler,Steve Colins and even though he got stopped a couple of times Carl Thompson.Chris Eubank didnt do bad either.
    Holyfield has shown a good chin throughout his career as did Ray Mercer.

    Peter Buckley. Mind you, he had a very good defence.

    Henry Hank was popular I can remember him being a staple on Saturday's Fight of the Week.and he did have a hell of a chin.

    Wilson has been in with everyone and stopped once on cuts, but he has had a lot of 4, 6 and 8 round fights. Not so many 10 rounders. Strong chin none the less
