    The best chin today though for me is Margarito, you see, over time there have been very good chins like Tyson, Oscar, Tunney, guys with good and great chins like Hagler and Morales aswell. But then there are/have been fighters who have chins that are the cream of the crop, this is where Lamotta and Wayne McCullough roam, this is their domain! Lamotta in rounds 11 and 12 of the 6th Robinson fight!!! The ounches he takes are unbelievable.

    Anyway , i think Margarito has an absolute chin of iron, he hardly has a defense to speak of and he never comes close to goin' over!

    Chavez didnt half have a good chin aswell

    A few people already mentioned my answer. Technically Oliver McCall is still active so it's gotta be him and until he retires it will remain him. I have never even seen him close to being hurt. Andrade took the kitchen sink against Kessler so he's gotta get some mention here. It's not like Kessler was hitting him with pitty pat punches either. They were landing flush on Andrade's jaw and he was taking them and continuing to walk into the assault. Ridiculous.

    Yer, McCall's still around so its probably hm. The reason i use the word 'probably' is because of Marg though. Marg's chin is iron, you must agree? Also, is McCullough still active?? If he is, he challenges McCall imo.

    Oh absolutely, Margarito's chin is made of steel. McCullough is another guy who can take it. I was practically begging the cornermen through the TV to stop the second Larios fight cuz he was taking way too many big shots.

    B-Hop takes a great shot, if you can catch him clean, but overall I would have to go along with Margarito; he's like Vlad Klitschko's reverse-twin.

    Also what about Jorge Barrios, if you take away that punch from Freitas, which would have killed an elephant.
