    James Toney, McCall are a couple heavyweights that come to mind..

    Hagler at number 1, i agree with that...(Everyone should, the man slugged it out with The Hitman, and im not talking about the pasty midget one either..)

    I am assuming that this list is "Best Chins" in a pound for pound sense??

    Theres a lot of difference between taking middleweight headshots and George Chuvalo turning to the ref and saying "What are you, nuts?" after the ref stopped his bout with Foreman.

    Hagler and Monzon don't really belong. Monzon rarley got hit, and Hagler was hurt in soe fights, but had a good defense. Gene Fullmer suffered a one punch ko from Robinson, so he does not belong. It's a mixed list. Kid Gavilan was one of greatest welters of all time, but I never heard of him being known for great chin. He had to have good on, as do all on list. It's usually th elesser fighters--Tex Cobb, George "Scrapiron" Johnson, ---who get hit more and have to have great chins just to stick around.

    Kid Gavilan was never stopped in a career that spanned well over one hunred fights, and was only dropped three times in his entire career. In two of those fights, he got up to win the decision. Yeah...he deserves a mention in this category.

    Eubank. And that flash knockdown early on to Calzaghe doesn't count.

    Yes a lot of hater may disagree but I think his chin is very underrated. Never down or seriously hurt during his professional career.
