The Greatest Chin of All-Time?

THANK YOU. Its about time someone here knows who Chuvalo is. Then again, what should I expect from the gerneral section, no offence to the people who acctually know about boxing's history, but this section is made fun of regulary in the history section. But anyways, Chuvalo's chin is definately #1. He fought Foreman, Frazier, Baker, Ali, Bonavena, Terrel, Quarry, and Ellis.

 

There are many fighters with good chins. The ones that get knocked down and get up represent a fighter with a good chin. When you talk about Shavers hitting Ali or Holmes, or Smokin Joe hitting Ali, you're talking about demonmstration of a good chin.

 

No, thats heart. Chin is being able to take the shots with out going down, hurt or not. Heart is getting up.

 

Fighters that can get knocked down and get back up represent good chins. Ali and Holmes demonstrated this clearly in their fights with the likes of Enie Shavers. What also comes to mind is the Holmes/Snipes fight.
How to determine the "grestest" chin is another story. But, I am sure good points can be made to justify fighters that truly stand out in this section of the game.

Hang tight guys.

 

Yeah, it's Chuvalo. The thing about Chuvalo is he was struck by some great punchers and still never went to the floor. That was one granite chin.

 

Ali was down and out thru the ropes saved by the bell and given smelling salt to recover. Cooper lost due to nasty cut in next rnd.

 

Sounds about right. Ali was given smelling salt too.

 

what a travesty of a fight

 

Nope, chin is not going down. Louis had a bad chin, Patterson had a bad chin. They both went down a lot. BUT they had heart, and they got up a lot too. Holmes is mainly known for his iron chin, reccuperative powers, savvy, guille, jab, and heart. If chin was getting up too, then almost everyone has an iron chin.

 

:rofl:rofl

I gotta say Chuvalo.

 

Chuvalos chin iwas like granite

 

Chuvalo never so much as flinched from a shot.

 

Did you take too many high kicks to the head? It is not logic, it is your perception. If Hunt can take it, why can't McCall?

McCall has never been hurt, the logic is that it is very difficult to tell how great his chin really is based on that fact.

 

Marciano was off his feet for a short time. A very good chin.
