    being able to take prime jones shots without going down is something worth mentioning.

    either your joking or you dont know anything about boxing!

    personally, i'd go with Mccullough(if he qualifies). I dont think they guy ever took a standing 8 count in his career.. I stand to be corrected on that

    My dad raved about Ken Buchanans chin. He said he was in some wars back in the good old days when fighters were hard as nails and boxed 15 rounds. For me it has to be Wayne McCullough but then he is Irish but noone will come near him for his chin and bravery in the ring.

    None of this p4p bull**** though. The greatest chin has to belong to someone who has proven themselves to withstand the regular skull crunching shots from a heavyweight as physiologically they are, on a whole, way and above more powerful. Gary Mason deserves a shout, seriously underrated chin. Bugner had a canny chin in his prime too.
