    It'd be about the most random shout I've ever heard in a thread, but if you wish.

    Chuvalo, check out his opposition. Check out his fight against Foreman.

    :lol:

    I'm honestly not too clued up on Canizales, but from what I did see, his chin was as sturdy as an old oak.

    Or is he in the Marlon Starling category of 'quality chin, but nothing exceptional'?

    Well in this case its less of a glove thing and more of a 168lb guy fighting heavies and never getting stopped thing(apart from a debut year incident).

    Not a single mention of Jack Britton

    346 fights

    3,118 rounds fought

    Fought until his mid 40's in an era where fighters aged far faster then they do in modern boxing

    Fought ATG opposition

    Only stopped once as an experienced 128 kid in one of his first bouts

    Greb ain't got **** on that

    Hagler, B-Hop, LaMotta, Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Mike Tyson, George Chuvalo, Sugar Ray Robinson, and probably plenty more that don't spring to mind at the moment.

    As someone who i see in the classic , you can't be serious. I love Britton and wish there was footage just as much as you might, but cmon. Did he encounter the weight disparities greb did? In any way does he have close to the straps greb does(like 18 champions)? **** no, man. Greb survived against bigger competition. And obviously that matters when you're using the phrase pound for pound chin.

    hard to say who is the best. Most people will say someone in the era they love. If you asked me who has the best right hand ever I will say Thomas Hearns, and beat chin Marvin Hagler, since Marvin took Hearns best right hand and wobbled but took it. Not many guys could take that punch and just wobble. Then Hagler fought Mugabi a year later and didn't even wobble. A great chin. He was very strong physically.
