Rank The Following Chins......

Hagler
LaMotta
McCallum
Toney (hardest one to rank)
Eubank
Chavez
Hopkins

 

Hagler (tested by Hearns and Mugabi)
Toney (hit by heavyweights)
Eubank (tested by a middleweight Benn)
McCallum tie with Hopkins (McCallum hurt by Jackson but came back)
LaMotta? (stopped by Robi)
Chavez (dropped by Randall) All these a close call I would say.

 

Lamotta was stopped by Ray, but not floored, I'd put him close with Hagler myself.

 

LaMotta
Hagler
Toney
Chavez Sr
Eubank Sr
McCallum
Hopkins

 

Lamotta didn't fight any big punching middleweights. Ray Robinson was 140 pounds.

Toney as you said got hit by heavyweights. Hagler got hit by the huge punching Mugabi and Hearns and wasn't phased.

So Toney and Hagler would be tied for number one and Jake LaMotta would be at the bottom.

 

Hagler at the #1 spot. Marvin had the GOAT chin. Chavez and Lamotta round out the top 3.

The rest is highly arguably and very close, however, I tend to think Hopkins is last here. But he made up for it by being the best defender on the list, or no worse than 2nd behind Toney.

 

Yes maybe and I suppose Eubank was dropped by Calzaghe also.

 

Robinson scaled between 144.5 and155.5lbs for his series with Jake.
Satterfield
Basora
Murphy
Marshall
Weren't big punchers?
Anyone on Hagler's sheet hit harder than Satterfield?

 

Ray could bang at middle, he KO`d a tough middle like Fullmer with one punch, having said that even though he was hitting LaMotta very hard and very often in their last fight it was the right hooks to the body that gassed LaMotta making him more easy to stop, nothing to do with his sturdy chin.

Right Robinson was still a small 140 pound guy. Lamotta was a 170 pound guy. Basora weighed as low as 145 and had 48 kos in 78 wins. Which means he wasn't a huge puncher and was naturally smaller than Jake. Satterfield was a decent puncher but only had maybe 13 fights when he fought Lamotta and Jake had over 50. So who said he even landed his best punches?

James Toney did fight guys like Sam Peter who were 240 pounds yet was able to take his punches without being seriously bothered or going down. Most of Jake Lamotta's fights were against other no skilled 150-170 pound Italians. How many Italian/Italian American champions have you seen since the Italian mob lost its control of boxing? That pretty much tells you how much of a joke most of those fighters were doing that era. Hagler fought modern skilled fighters and so did Toney, McCallum and others. So their chin's were better than Lamotta's.

 

Interesting post. Curious to read replies.

 

The point of this video is? Sugar Ray Robinson was a 140 pound fighter. Which means by modern standard he isn't a middleweight. Second how many world glass black fighters like Tommy Hearns, Marvin Hagler, Ray Leonard, and d Julian Jackson did Robinson fight? Robinson fought in a era where the mob controlled boxing. So basically all of the contenders were no talent Italian boxers. Robinson success is because of the era he fought in . If he fought in the 70's until now he wouldn't have had any real success.
