Middleweight with the hardest chin?

Hagler took some huge bombs from Hearns and Mugabi. LaMotta took huge poundings from Robinson. Neither were ever down in their careers.

 

LaMotta was down once during his career, wasn't he?

 

In an era previous to many of those mentioned, Tony Zale had a set of whiskers in the footage I have of him. I do not know regarding the earlier KO's of him what were the circumstances... but with the footage I have, and not necessarily just the stats, he could take a great punch.

 

Micky Walker should be in the top 5 in that department. The guy was a middleweight taking shots from heavyweight punchers like Schmeling.

 

You beat me to it, good call!

And actually Mickey was a natural welter/jr.middleweight, and yet he took the best that Schmelling could dish out for 8 rounds before getting pulled out by his corner.... that Mickey was one tough sumbitch thats for sure. Another fighter who deserves mention would be Eduardo Lausse, never stopped or even floored until his second to last bout against frenchman Marcel Pigou in a barnburner of a fight, the other stoppage losses he suffered where all on cuts.

 

Yes he was, against Danny Nardico courtesy of a right cross.

 

Jake LaMotta
Marvin Hagler

 

LaMotta.

 

Hagler's chin would be more proven had he fought men in higher divisions like Toney and Greb.

 

What?? When??

 

Where do you rate Monzon out of interest?

 

Roldan had Marvin on his buttocks!!! KD!

 

Marv, has definetly taken the mantle of most overrated fighter on this forum. apparently he never got beat by SRL too
