    I am not even sure it's arguable that Hamed was the hardest hitting FW in the past 10 years.

    I think George Chuvalo takes it. He may have been stopped but he sure isn't knocked down in any fight. And he had nearly ninety of them.


    He's been in front of anyone who can dish out punishment, two of which were named Joe Frazier and George Foreman.


    Lamotta also takes a spot here.

    i agree, mccall greatest chin of all time.

    chuvalo wasn't bad either, he was catching bombs from the hardest puncher in heavyweight history (IMO) in Foreman and it didn't seem to bother him that much

    Is that the guy with the mohawk? If yes, then his chin was incredible.

    McCalls display vs Lewis in the clip was a farce. Lewis could have clipped him at will, but didn't.

    BTW - McCullough has probably learned Andrade how to deflect blows to take off the power of the punches.

    From a HW point of view definitely George Chuvalo and then Oliver McCall.

    mccall surely has one of the best chins along with marion wilson, but nobody is un-ko-able. he just wasn't hit with the right shot yet. that last round from mccall, like mentioned before, is impressing, but not that much like some say. he didn't get hit the whole round hands down by lewis powershots, he avoided lennox and got hit by 3 or 4 solid shots, but none of them were in the rahman-lewis II or klitschko-brock league.
    about high kicks: a high kick is said to be four times harder than a punch, maybe two times harder than the shots of the hardest punchers who throw around 1000 psi. when mccall gets such a 2000 psi high or spinning back kick off guard, it's ovah!

    How can so many people not even MENTION George Chuvalo? This is ludicrous.

    Chuvalo would have taken it and not even have gone down.

    So then you're at least admitting to never having heard the name, "George Chuvalo"?

    Absolutely.
    The best chin.
    The toughest.
    The most balls.
    Class of his own.
