    He ofught Foreman, Ali, and Frazier and he's never Ko'ed. Even the bonecrushing Foreman couldn't put him down and the ref stopped the fight cause of a cut, not cause he couldn't take Foremans shot's cause he was taking them well.

    I'll go with Chuvalo. Impossible to find a tougher guy, and he fought some of the hardest hitter the sport has ever seen without ever taking a backwards step, or being KO'd.

    (When he was fighting Foreman and just getting whaled on by Big George, his reaction to the stopping the fight, despite the fact that his corner was also throwing in the towel, was "What the hell are you stopping it for?!!")

    Yea, but he's never been seriously hurt. Hopkins has a good chin too, but he was rattled against Atwon Echols in their first fight.

    Even p4p Chuvalo was in with much bigger punchers. His chin was more proven.

    Hopkins was hit on the break and went down. He was not even hurt.

    I don't think Margo even has the best chin in the Welters...

    I would give that to Clottey.

    Chuvalo had one of the best chins of any fighter who ever lived. When I talk about chins, few come to mind. Sugar Robinson, Ali, Chuvalo, Hagler, Marciano, Chavez... There are so many others I've forgotten, but these are the guys who came to mind.

    Chuvalo = greatest chin of all time, for heavyweights and maybe even P4P.

    Geroge Chuvalo had one hell of a chin. It's difficult to pick a winner, but Margarito also has one Hell of a chin. I give Margarito the edge though.
