    Matt Hattons chin is ****ing excellent. Guy took a beat down from Canelo who must have outweighed him by about a stone on fight night and managed to stay on his feet. Brook also handed him his arse and he was only dropped by a well placed shot that he didn't see coming and was up straight away.

    Matt Hatton
    Carl Froch
    Ola Afolabi
    Dereck Chisora
    Ricky Burns

    ye froch, matt hatton burns and afolabi for me, chisora might make an appearance, tbf to hatton when he was "dropped" against brook, iirc, he never actually got dropped, he tripped/slipped and brook hit his gloves didnt he? thats what i remember anyway thining it was never a true knockdown

    Some deluded posts about Stella Chisora again I see...

    Chisora did go twelve rounds with Helenius. He broke his right hand in the 2nd IIRC and Chisora was back-pedalling like Michael Jackson in the 1st.

    Chisora got systematically taken out by Haye. Fury had him hurt too.

    Extremely overrated chin.

    There's got to be a few journeymen with fantastic chins.

    Burns has never been stopped. Johanneson did have him over three times though. Body shots if I recall.

    As for Chisora, i'm not a fan, but I don't recall Fury putting a dent in him.

    Munroe is a good shout actually.

    Took Kiko's best shots like they were nothing and then went the distance with Nishioka.
