    I think ALi should be in there took huge shots from arguably the two hardest punchers of all time and didn't go down.

    Foreman and shavers not saying they are the two hardest i'm just stating that they are almost always on the top on lists when considering power.

    McCullough above Hagler. He was a natural bantamweight who stepped up and fought Morales at super-bantamweight, and Hamed and Harrison at featherweight.

    Hagler's biggest punchers were opponents moving up in weight. Hearns and Mugabi.

    How can McCullough be #10 when he has never touched the canvas, and has faced awesome punchers, all while climbing weight classes to do it? Go watch his match against Morales, that's all you need to know about this man's chin. Hamed is possibly the hardest hitting featherweight of all time, McCullough broke his massive streak of KO's, and was never hurt in the whole fight.

    Oliver McCall is the greatest HW chin of all time, the only person who can possibly tie with him is Chuvalo. McCall took flush punches from Lennox Lewis right to the dome when he had his mental breakdown, his hands were at his side, and he still couldn't be stunned. He was a sparring partner for a prime Mike Tyson, the only one tough enough to stick around, and was never dropped going up against a prime Tyson daily in sparring. The man has never hit the canvas, never even been seriously hurt in a fight. He continues to fight, and while most guys chins eventually crack when they get old, his has withstood the test of time, at 48 years old and still fighting, his chin has yet to crack. Who else can you even say something like that about? That's why he should be considered the GOAT chin. HE NEEDS TO BE MOVED UP. Him and Chuvalo should be 1A and 1B

    Cant put anybody over LaMotta in terms of chin. He had so many fights before he was ever knocked down. Faced punchers like Satterfield, Robinson 6x and Cerdan among others.
