The 10 best chins in boxing History

McCall should definitely be on that list. Fighting you whole 60+ fight career at HW without getting knocked down is quite an accomplishment. I see people mentioning Tua on here as well, and while he has a great chin, I've seen Rahman knock him down with a jab. Even though it was after the bell, it didn't look like a balance problem, it was a legit knockdown if the bell didn't ring.

 

Would a late 80's Tyson KO McCall?

 

my knock against mccall is that the only great puncher i can think of that mccall fought was lewis. a great chin but ALL TIME great? Needs a better resume to be sure

oh and tyson could've but it ain't likely

 

That is a good list, but Oliver McCall has to be in the top 10.

You could throw a piano off the 5th floor landing on his head and he still wouldn't go down.

 

Any list mentioning chins that doesnt include Oliver Mccall and David Tua is incomplete...sorry.

 

No...but he would win a UD against him. A late 80's Tyson was unable to stop Ruddick (Im aware of the stoppage in the first fight...but never agreed with it), who tho durable as hell, does not have the granit at the bottom of his face that Oliver has.

 

now TUA i can understand, he took shots of lewis, rahman, maskaev and ibeabuchi. not only never knocked out and never down (cept after the bell) but rarely hurt or stunned

 

Oliver Mccall needs to be on the list and i would have had Wayne McCullough on their as well.

 

Tucker, Bruno, Akinwande, Seldon, etc...along with Lewis. And remember when he had his meltdown against Lennox. Hands down at his waist, Lewis just teeing off on him and he isnt even flinching. I have seen a ton of Mccall fights...and I have never, in my life even seen him hurt. The man was boxing's version of Michael Myers.

Trust me, when your making a list of chins...if Oliver Mccall is not mentioned, the list is incomplete.

:deal

 

:good

 

No mention of Gerry Penalosa whatsoever? How come? He just faced one of today's pfp best punchers and he still wasn't fazed.

 

The obvious guy missing from the list is Chavez.

 

Nice list... i think you could of thrown in Vitali in their somewhere tho..

Unless your list is just made out of recent monthly updates n ****...

This Steve Forbes guy seems like a smaller version of Ismail Abdoul,lol

He could be a contenda on this list arguably..

 

GREAT post. appreciate the help. well put and yeah, that's not a bad list of fighters. it's not just the fighters but how they hit him and how he reacted. sounds like he's doing just fine
