Who are your picks for top 10 best chins in heavyweight history? I'm sure there'll be a lot of Ali, Holyfield & Chuvalo mentions.
Mohammad Ali George Chuvalo George Foreman Larry Holmes Vitali Klitschko Tyson Fury Oliver McCall Nikolai Valuev Randall Cobb David Tua There is no ranking here except that Oliver McCall is definitely No.1. Surely there will be better Top 10 than my Top 10 P.S. I was in a hurry to write the list as quickly as possible
H Hmmm......that does look like a very solid list.Ray Mercer should find a place on such a list but who could you drop ? Perhaps we should include Merciless and simply call these guys the 11 greatest chins in heavyweight history.
Mariusz Wach Vitali Klitschko Oliver McCall Randall Cobb George Foreman Muhammad Ali George Chuvalo Nikolai Valuev Ray Mercer David Tua Skipped some Depression Era and pre fighters because originally it was too difficult.
Muhammad Ali Riddick Bowe George Chuvalo Randall Cobb Jack Dempsey George Foreman Larry Holmes Evander Holyfield James J. Jeffries Vitali Klitschko Rocky Marciano Oliver McCall Ray Mercer John L. Sullivan Paulino Uzcudun Nikolai Valuev Alphabetical Order. I did not consider active boxers. I either have trouble counting to ten, or I have no idea which six to remove from my list. Take your pick.
Top 10 ? In no order..... Muhammad Ali Oliver McCall George Chuvalo Tex Cobb Larry Holmes David Tua Ray Mercer Vitali Klitschko Evander Holyfield George Foreman Some honourable mentions...... Pinklon Thomas, Marion Wilson, Mike Tyson, Rocky Marciano, Jimmy Young, Riddick Bowe, Nikolai Valuev.
(Old) Holyfield took that same right hand from Rahman that Lewis did. Ali rising instantly from a sweeping Frazier left hook (in their first fight) was supernatural. Mercer McCall Bowe should have been KOed from (Old) Holyfield about 3 times. Luckily, for him, he was young then. Chuvalo
Good point, I didn't look at the problem from that side. How many boxers would get up from Foreman's 6 knockdowns before being counted to 10? Well done.
He also ate a lot of shots from Ali, I am on the Ali had underrated power side and if there was anyone he was going to put the condition of his hands to the side for and go for the kill it was Frazier
