    Vito Antuofermo had also an iron chin.

    Maxie Rosenbloom had a great chin, in almost 300 fights he was only knocked out at the very end of his career. You have also to remember, that he himself had almost no power, so that makes it even better.

    Kid Gavlian, welterweight champion in the 50's, not only an incredibly skilled fighter but faced some of the greatest fighters of all time and was never knocked out in 143 pro fights, not even sure if he was ever down tbh

    He makes a mockery of the notion that all Cuban fighters have glass jaws:yep

    No Benns chin wasnt close to iron, he did have very good powers of recovery though.

    I don't know if anyone remembers RJJ vs Richard Hall, but my god that guy showed a chin. Hall got knocked down twice in the first round (before he got warmed up possibly?) but after that, he started being able to take the punches. He took a ridiculous amount of punishment in that fight, showed a great chin, and an even bigger heart. Even when he got stopped, he was still on his feet.

    Legendary chin, never legitimately knocked down, that call the referee made when Roldan pushed him down was an abomination.

    However, he doesn't fit the criteria for being forgotten, he has an infamous chin of granite!

    It's on film.

    There's a documentary about Loi that contains Loi-Ortiz highlights.

    It shows both Ortiz's and Loi's knockdowns.

    It's on youtube.

    Ali has one of the greatest chins in history? And cryax you are one of the dumbest people here which is saying alot. Ali was knocked down by 1 punch 4 time in career. You will say he took bombs from Frazier? Frazier couldn't hurt Foreman with his punches. Ali didn't even have a top 10 heavyweight chin.

    Ali was a grabber so he didn't walked right into punches like George Chuvalo. Foreman was knocked down 4 times but never from 1 punch. Oliver McCall was never knocked down. Prime David Tua had a great chin, Marion Wilson had shitty skills but a great chin. You can go on and on and on about the heavyweights who had a better chin than Ali.

    Marvin Hagler- dropped once because he was off-balance.

    Harry Greb was stopped twice in 240 fights, once when he was outweighed and once because of a broken arm.

    Marcaino only down twice and often took some punishment to come back to win.

    George Chuvalo- not dropped in 93 fights (included 2 vs. Muhammed Ali)

    Carlos Monzon- never stopped and monly dropped in his final fight.

    Kid Gavilan- Never stopped in 143 fights
