    Lol you know Ali fought Bob Foster and Mac Foster right kid. Clearly weren't referring to Mac Foster. Because guess what? You are a casual fan. Which is why you couldn't name the round where Foreman landed flush punches to Ali's Jaw. You just looked some boxing site that had who Ali fought and named random names to try to prove your point.

    Lol clueless some huh? So Ali wasn't knocked down and almost out with one punch from 190 pound club fighter Henry Cooper? Ali wasn't hurt badly and beat around the ring by 180 pound Doug Jones? You are saying Oliver McCall was hurt and knocked down? Another clueless casual fan who thinks it knows what is typing about. Let met guess in your eyes Ali could never lose to anybody in his prime right? Of course by prime I mean before the 3 years he took off from boxing. Because according to you casuals Ali was past his prime at 28 when he came back. Which is funny since Ken Norton and Ron Lyle were just as old as Ali if not older when they fought.

    Ali was never hit flush by Foreman, Liston, Lyle, Quarry and various other fighters. Foreman and Liston let Ali running off at the mouth get to them. Lyle tried to fight him smart and not tired himself out like Foreman did. Quarry just didn't land flush. But you casuals will bring up names every time you mention something about Ali to try to justify your point. Ali could be hurt by one punch and he could and did go down from one punch. Oliver McCall never was knocked down. David Tua only went down officially when he was way past his prime. Various fighters had a much better chin than Ali did.

    I could easily see Foreman getting knocked out in one round.

    I was quoting Mac Foster in the list because although not great he could punch, you were making an assumption.
    You asked a question in your opening post and in my opinion the answer is Ali, I think i’m on pretty solid ground although clearly Foreman and McCall are also obvious picks.
    You seem to be irked because people are not giving the answers you want to hear.
    It would help if you showed more maturity and less bombast in your posts.

    It's debatable whether there were fighters who had a better chin than Ali.

    But a much better chin??

    No way.

    Not unless a door was left ajar in the arena causing a draught across the ring blowing near his chin.

    I dont
    I don't get your beef with Ali ?
    Foreman didn't land flush on him , neither did Liston etc ? Well Liston landed a huge hook on Ali's chin in round 3 and Ali just bounced away.
    As for Foreman , people on here know I feel he was overrated but the man could hit and he sure hit Ali with plenty. The fact he didn't catch Ali flush too often was due to Ali's skill.
    I really don't get your point.

    As an answer to the original question , this might not be the first boxer to come to everyone's mind but how about prime Tony Tucker.
    Extremely unlikely to get nailed in round 1.
