Most underrated chins in boxing history

Benn was stopped twice at 160 and was hurt by GAlvano badly at 168, Haye wa knocked out by a cruiser who couldn`t floor Eubank Sr. who started his career at 160.

 

Who the hell underrates Eubank Sr`s chin?

 

Benn beat Galvano simply because he was a better fighter, Galvano wa not a puncher, he was out on his feet at the end of his first fight v Galvano, the bell saved him, and he lost to Watson and Eubank.

 

Benn even stated he was out cold v G-man, he was lifeless with the ropes holding him up and the ref pulled G-man off him.

 

Camacho was floored by DLH and rocked badly v Rosario.

 

Duran was young and in far better condition v Hearns.

 

“Rocked badly by” lol.

People with good chins never get rocked?

 

Juan LaPorte

 

Fair enough cause Hagler was rocked by Hearns but then went on to eat 6 devastating right hands from Tommy whereas Camacho only survived by running away.

 

So a guy who had nearly 90 pro fights, including a bunch against Hall of Famers — many of them when he was well past his own prime, many against big punchers — and never got stopped once and hardly ever touched the canvas ... has a bad chin because he got rocked by one of the hardest-punching lightweights ever?

Not stopped. Not knocked down. “Rocked.”

SMH.

Did he use his legs to stay out of trouble? Yes, but go back and look at the Rosario fight and you will find that some of the late rounds and at some points Camacho is the aggressor or he’s holding ground, maybe taking a step back and most definitely not running.

And are you saying Rosario never hit him again in that fight? Or just that he couldn’t ever put him down? Because I don’t remember him ever going down in that fight. So to be clear, a guy who gets rocked just doesn’t have a good chin?

Ali got rocked a few times. He also moved a lot. Did he have a good chin?

It’s downright laughable that you list Camacho as a guy who didn’t have a good chin. I don’t know what more to say.

Also, their were many combos in both Frazier-Foreman fights that would've floored a lesser man, that Frazier took flush without going down.

Also, the fact that he got up six times against George ****ING Foreman speaks for itself.

 

He went through the ropes and hauled himself back in just inside the 10 seconds, if he was out cold how could he do that?
The fight was tragic for McClellan and hard to watch, but don’t forget what Benn had to go through in that fight against a murderous puncher the heart he showed was beyond the call.

 

Benn was out on the ropes and the ref pulled G-man off him then he slumped through the ropes and recovered, it was more than 10 seconds because when you fall out of the ring you are given more time to get in the ring, G-man missed a lot of shots v Benn who was ducking under most of them.
Benn was knocked out of the ring by McClellan, but was able to properly recover due to a slow count by the referee, later timed at 13 seconds.
