Top chins among active boxers

i always thought Kessler had a great chin, also Paulie and Casamayor to some extent

 

Arthur Abraham needs to be on the list.

 

Yeah, just like Zab Judah was "off balance" after getting KD'd by Tszyu.

 

Pavlik does have a solid chin. I don't know if great but he took some vicious flush shots from JT and although he was KD, he got back up and had his legs under him in 30 seconds. By the start of the next round, he was already pressing the action.

He also took some of Miranda's haymakers. Yeah, they weren't with full leverage but still clean shots.

 

Not sure why Pavlik's on there though he has a solid chin, it isn't top.

Margo
Abraham
Toney
Andrade

Kessler's chin probably isn't as tested as the others but he deserves an honorable mention.

Joe's is solid too.

 

zab judah

 

1. Wlad- His chin is granite, took partially blocked shots from Peter, and only went down 3 times, he's also only been knocked down 11 times, as well TKO'd 3 times by journymen.

2. Haseem Rahman- Only been knocked out by Tua, Lewis, Maskaev twice, and hurt by many others, but his chin has stood the test of time.

3. Audley Harrison- His chin is made of stone, guys like Danny Williams may have hurt him, but "The Force" keeps holding strong. Look for him to be champ by next year.

 

abraham
margo are deff at the top of my list

 

Exactly!
Those two guys have incredible chins. People also need to look at the amount of flush shots both of these guys take. They take more than the average fighter and are also fighting bigger punchers than most.
Its really not fair to say PBF is in the same league as Margo since PBF has not been hit as many times or as hard as Margarito.

The tough chin award has to go to Margarito since he takes more flush shots than anyone and hasnt gone down recently.
Andrade is a close second but Margarito i think edges him since Andrade got dropped against Mack.
Dont confuse a chin with defense. Just because PBF hasnt been down doesnt mean his chin is great. Its his defense thats great. I want to see PBF hit with a flush power shot more than once and then we can rate it.

 

lets not leave out Herbie Hide

 

Margarito Toney
