    I love sluggers/brawlers/swarmers/punchers etc but I cant stand it when they can dish it out but cant take it in IE: Tommy Morrison. When I say Iron Chinned I mean can take a considerable amount of punishment not necessarily never been knocked out. For example: Mike Tyson/Jack Dempsey. A couple of my favorites are...

    LEGENDS
    Jack Dempsey
    Rocky Marciano
    Carmine Basilio
    Joe Frazier (arguably chinny)
    Sonny Liston
    George Foreman
    Mike Tyson
    Nigel Benn
    Jake Lamotta (not the biggest puncher but def a great swarmer with a chin of IRON)
    Roberto Duran
    Erik Morales
    Marco Antonio Barerra
    Jose Luis Castillo
    Marvin Hagler

    Not ATG but good
    David Tua! (maybe not a legend or all time great but the man could give and take punches with the best of them.)
    Micky Ward
    Arturo Gatti
    Edwin Valero



    Modern
    Maidana
    Matthysse
    Froch
    Pacquiao

    How do you put an Asterisk next to Fraizer but not Maidana?

    Benn was guilty of occasionally going into battle without reinforced glass.Always vulnerable to a sweet spot.

    He showed against Mclellan he could take a shot though. To be fair he got hit alot due to his style early on and both times he got stopped early on he was out on his feet rather than knocked out. I know what you mean though, he had a decent chin, not iron.
