No. McCall's chin is a top 3 best...but not the "greatest ever". the greatest chin ever is not participating in boxing. He used to participate in muaythai , K1 and mma competitions... Mark Hunt's chin is in a league of his own. As far as boxing is concerned , one of the best ever is Marion Wilson's and Zeljko Mavrovic's chin.
Mccall does have the best chin the man has been boxing since 85 and still hasnt even been knocked down, Lewis still couldnt knock him down when he had both hands down looking away from Lewis during his breakdown in the ring in 97. Mark Hunt has nothing on Mccall.
No , Mark Hunt took flush knee impacts , highkicks from from + 270 lbs fighters...even illegal blows in the back of the head (illegal knee strikes from + 300 lbs fighters) shin impacts on the jaw... actually , nothing compares to what Mark Hunt had to deal with... the most powerful puncher in history can't even compare. It's a bit like the ****ing morons who come here and try to tell you that a gorilla would get tooled by Tyson even though Gorillas are 10 times stronger than the biggest NFL player you can imagine. same goes with kicks and knees... It is common to see fighters go down for 8 to + 10 minutes , unconscious , or going straight to the hospital or leaving the ring on a stretcher after a single impact... Ignashov's HK to McCall jaw = goodnight... Forget Hunt... McCall is not "the" chin even in his own sport. he's close to being the best , but not "the" best.
You cannot use the absence of proof or something that never happened and therefore you don't know the outcome to prove something. Have you ever seen Ignashov kick McCall to the jaw? No...you haven't. You are only guessing at what would happen. You also know that his kick CAN be taken to the jaw as you have seen it done. So unless you have seen McCall take that kick, you cannot say he would go down from it. McCall has never been shaken, hurt, dazed or anything else in his career. So he may have the best chin ever. You cannot prove otherwise.
Different sports, its hard to compare the two. I thought Hunt was knocked out before, Im pretty sure hes been down in his career.
Actually , the same could bet said about gorillas... i've never seen Tyson vs a gorilla , but logic tells me that a gorilla would rip this guy's arms and kill him... same goes for a hk...logic tells me that a shin impact from a guy of ignashov's size = instantly koed. actually , forget ignashov for a moment there. ANY kicks are by logic more powerful than any human punches. do the experience yourself , take a ball , punch it , and see how far it goes... then to the experience with your legs... another example... if i decide to skydive without a parachute , chances are that i'll end up dead on arrival (during the landing). I don't need to do it to have any proofs, it's just logical. same goes with McCall's jaw vs a shin impact. actually , now that i think about it , Hunt was almost koed once against jlb after a shin impact on the neck area..a prime jlb was aprox 260 or 270 lbs...Hunt was saved by the bell in that one. the only downside of the hk is that you can rarely land it properly. some do though...Aerts for example , used to land lots of flush hks in his prime... and without even forcing...he'd just ko his opponents and would sometime force them to leave on a stretcher... even a 180 lbs fighter can ko a super heavy if he can land a flush impact...Hks are an enormous advantage (if you're a shitty puncher)
They are not the same, your analogy doesn't work at all. A gorilla and a man have never to your or my knowledge fought. We do know from science that a gorrilla is far stronger than a man. You have seen Hunt take kick the the jaw. He didn't get KO'd. You have not seen McCall take a kick at all, much less a kick from the same man. So you have no evidence at all that McCall couldn't take the kick. You have more evidence that he could than that he could not. In one case, you have no evidence of what would happen, but do have evidence that a gorilla is far stronger than a man. In the other case you have evidence that a man CAN take the kick to the jaw, you just have decided that a particular individual couldn't take the kick without any evidence that he couldn't, and that one could because you have seen it. They are entirely different scenarios. You cannot just decide that McCall couldn't take the kick....for all you know his jaw is as strong as the man you saw take the kick, as you have no evidence to the contrary. You CAN say Hunt has a more PROVEN jaw, in that he has taken stronger impact. But you cannot say that McCall couldn't take the kick. It is possible for a man to do it. The gorilla thing is wholly impossible as we know that one blow from a gorilla is enough to end a mans life.
Man this is a boxing site...take this UFC garbage rhetoric to a UFC site...clown..****ing gay ass head kick.. who cares...***gots kick..this is fisticuffs..:bbb:bbb:bbb be gone.
Nope. The only reason I can think of that people don't have George Chuvalo as number one chin of all time is that they don't know about him. His chin is undisputable as the best.
