    I forgot,

    Marilyn Monroe.
    She took a beating from Joe Dimaggio every day of her 274 days of marriage.
    She never went down.

    And Joe was some right-handed hitter!!

    Best chin I have personally ever seen was Juan Laporte. He was stopped in his last fight agaist Zack Padilla, but that was just a matter of the ref tiring of watching him lay on the ropes and take round after round of punches and doing so little in return.

    He faced guys like Sanchez, Pedroza, Chavez, Azumah Nelson, Tszyu, McGuigan, Wilfredo Gomez, and numerous other 126-130 pounders of the time, acting as a sort of gatekeeper, not to mention being a champ for a time. Never once saw him particularly bothered by anything any of them threw. Never even remotely close to going down.

    He was the best, but other than him.......

    Chuvalo
    Lamotta
    Hagler
    Chavez

    Carl "the cat" Thompson is the guy that springs to mind. Just check him out on youtube versus Sebastian Rothman or of course David Haye.
