the best chin in boxing....RUSLAN PROVODNIKOV

Yeah 3 years later....

 

P4P Provo has to be up there, he's a beast. Ghost worth a shout too?

 

So we are talking about time now?
Wach took a few bombs from a 36 year old Wlad, and now all of a sudden he has the best chin?

 

without a shadow of a doubt the best chin. The way he brushed off Mathysses punches like they were nothing and obviously Mathysse being one of the hardest hitting pound 4 pound punchers in boxing says it all

 

Yes, Khan's taken heavy punishment and been in long grueling fights. I guess there are better examples of guys who don't take too many punches but go down hard when they get hit with one good shot. Like Jorge Linares.

But most of the past fighters who've had problems have been guys who could take punches, rather than guys who suffered a lot of knockouts. Provo's always in long fights and always takes a lot of punches, so I still think he's a greater risk than Khan.

Defence is what prevents lasting damage either way. I'd rather have good defence but a poor chin than the other way around, because fighters with naturally strong chins think they can get away with taking punches, and tend to not sharpen and rely on their defence as they should.
