    No, Vitali deserves an honorable mention, but he's not the number 1 greatest chin ever like you claim.

    Holyfield did not have a great chin. He had great heart and recuperative ability. People with great chins don't get rocked, dropped, and stopped as often as he was.

    I'm surprised, just a bit, to se Ali mentioned. I say just a bit because small group of boxing reporters who liked him kept saying that late in his career. However he was known for a questionable chin, and was hurt pretty bad in round 11 of Frazier fight, almost ko'd by Henry Cooper, and floored by Sonny Banks.

    Top 3, IMO, are clearly:
    George Chuvalo
    Oliver McCall
    Marion Wilson

    After that, it's tougher. I'd probably go with:
    Vitali Klitschko
    Tex Cobb
