Solid list as usual. I have to particularly agree with Toney's iron mandible stubbornly remaining in the top 10 despite the embarrassing joke he's become over the past few years.
From where I'm standing, Pure Glass. He was rocked by Cotto's feather fisted brother and Cintron hurt him. We will see when he gets a live opponent. If it weren't for him being put on his ass by Peter's jab, I would be inclined to put him much higher. I am not a Toney fan, but the man can take a punch and it hasn't changed much since his heyday.
floyd goes to ***** treet which makes me think his chin is glass. He has excellent defence, great fitness (which improves his recovery) but every he gets caught clean he goes on retreat. Also the fact that he has worked on his defense so much, mixed with the fact he spends alot of time in the gym stregthening his neck muscles, makes me think he know he has a glass chin. He just hides it well.
Chisora fought Vitali, Fury and Helenius and didn't flinch once. Mayweather on #1 is too high. In fact, we hardly know anything about his chin as he hardly ever gets hit flush.
He has taken some hard shots (Despite his great defene) and has not had a legit knock down, so i'll say that it is fair to rank Mayweather high on this list, it can be argued that he should be lower.. But Mayweather @#1 is fine :good Btw leave the chin checking to the professionals :deal
There was a video around not too long ago called 'Floyd Mayweather Chin Check'. It showed Money May taking bombs across his career, and very rarely was he ever fazed! Certified Iron chin, never been dropped, was briefly wobbled by Mosley (remember Mosley KO'd Margarito!) and recovered immediately, certainly one of the best chins in the sport.
He KO'd Margarito after landing abut 200 power shots. Not the 2 he landed on Mayweather floyd goes to ***** street abd retreats when tagged which makes me think his chin is glass. He has excellent defence, great fitness (which improves his recovery) but every he gets caught clean he goes on retreat. Also the fact that he has worked on his defense so much, mixed with the fact he spends alot of time in the gym stregthening his neck muscles, makes me think he know he has a glass chin. He just hides it well. Can someone reply to my questions. Why would someone with the number 1 chin in Boxing spend so much time stregthening his neck muscles. And why would the number one chin in boxing be buckled by one Mosley Shot. Even Cotto took mosleys power better than floyd.
Question for the ChinCheckers. Whats the feelings on Manny's current chin. He no doubt struggled at the lower wights. but since 120 onwards. He's has took big shots from Marquez, Barrera, Morales, Mosley, Cotto, Margo with out been knocked down once. Except the Mosley push. Was he close to making the top 10
