    Eubank should at least make the honourable mentions.

    Lamotta was battered around far too much at his own weight to earn top honours but I do respect the G'ness of his chin absolutely without question. Especially considering what Greb and chuvalo had endured? I don't know but I'd love to hear your argument outing those two. Dempsey was AFRAID of Greb, keep in mind, and Hagler never stretched himself beyond capacity against Spinks or Qawi when he could have.

    Greb and Chuvalo did it in spades and then some.

    mccollough fought pirme morales and prime hamed and didn't move back once.

    I will concede that toney fought heavyweights though, so I traded them places.

    Punch resistance is THE most important attribute a fighter can have.

    Margarito's chin is sickening. I'd have him number one from this era.

    All time Lamotta for me.

    Not true, example RJJ, speed, power and great defense. Punch resistance will get you beat up a lot.

    Oscars chin is good too. But he wouldn't have fought so appprehensively in Trinidad fight and a few others if he had an iron chin.

    They weren't the same shots. Margo was walking forward whilst mosley was putting his full weight into the shots. They were absolute monster shots.

    He eventually got ko'd but he didn't get knocked down, he was just on the ropes taking haymaker after haymaker, and was fine after.

    Margo's chin is supernatural
