Chuck Wepner's chin was prety solid.

 

Ooh, 'as anyone mentioned Tex Cobb?

 

He got KOd by some1 .
Taking shots from Holmes does not prove that much :yep

 

Nobody ever mentions Jofre on these chin lists. Never stopped in a long career, does anybody know if he was ever knocked down?

 

Just read, he was only knocked down once in 1958, early in his career.

 

Legra dropped him too.

 

Does it show the knockdown in the Legra clip on YT?

 

Yes I've just seen it 2.56 mark, a proper knockdown as well.

 

Yes.

 

Wayne McCullough doesn't make your top 30?
Who dropped him?

 

Randall Tex Cobb could be on the list ...Ali has to be near the top... Not to be confused with Caly. Ali, came down off his toes a lot more than he did as Clay and he got his chin checked a lot more after his comeback. Foreman, Norton, Frazier, Lyle,Sahvers and even Holmes put a ton of bombs on that chin. Sadly to Ali`s detriment., he took shots that would have stopped many other fighters ...

 

What about David Tua his wife?

 

Morales and Hamed at the weights I mentioned were probably bigger punchers than Hearns at middleweight and Mugabi at that weight too. As I said, McCullough was physically much smaller than Hamed and Morales, and he was also fighting them at their prime weights. The weights for Hearns and Mugabi's devastating power was 147 and 154 respectively. Yes, Hearns did carry the power up through the weights, but 147 was where he had Hamed kinda power.

McCullough went out of his prime weight division to fight punchers who were at their own prime weight. Hagler never did this. It's not really a minus on Hagler, but more a plus for McCullough.
