    Ten names that came to mind pretty much straight away:

    Julio Cesar Chavez
    Juan Laporte
    Wayne McCulough
    Jose Luis Lopez
    Oliver McCall
    David Tua
    Bernard Hopkins
    Oscar de la Hoya
    Miguel Angel Gonzalez
    Antonio Margarito

    Toney would probably be a better candidate than Hopkins, though both had excellent chins.

    McCallum fits too if we include 80s guys who carried on for a portion of the 90s.

    Ah and Eubank should be there or thereabouts.Some of the shots he shook off with ease against a major cruiserweight puncher like Thompson were spectacular.

    You've got to be joking, coming up with that adjective. For crying out loud, I saw Morrissey spark this dude in a pub in Presteigne. Absolute ****ing china.

    No love for Castillo?

    Guy was almost impossible to hurt

    Even in the ultra brutal Coralles war, he was finished on his feet

    That is because he is skilled. The title says last 20 years. VK has taken bombs from Sanders, Hide, and Lewis. He has never been floored as a pro.
