Who had the better chin: Marvin Hagler, James Toney or Gennady Golovkin?

All had iron jaws, but Toney gets the edge for me because of the multiple weight divisions in which he proved it, from middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight, cruiserweight, all the way up to heavyweight.

 

The Roy/Toney knockdown and the Reggie Johnson one are no different than the Hagler/Roldan knockdown (which really wasn't one). That's a wash. And he wasn't hurt by the Reggie Johnson knockdown, he was more off balance, you can see his feet were outta position (he was squared) and he tried to catch himself. I would say that Toney has the best chin as he was still never dented even going up in weight up through HW. Hagler was stone but it was never proven at anything other than MW, and as far as Golovkin, he doesn't have enough hitters on his resume to compare with the other two although I think contemporarily he has probably the best chin in boxing.

 

Well....IF he had a better chin at MW, that is possible!
But since Hagler never was bigger than a NON-rehydrated MW, in real life he would not get whatever extra protection he would earn from having more bulk.
Just like he would be slower if larger-even in just muscle, since he was already at @ the maximum muscle his body could benefit from absent losing speed....
We can only compare his speed in real lfe, not steal it from him to calculate his speed & agility at even LHW!

 

I completely and utterly disagree. It was nothing like Hagler's slip/trip. It was a beautiful wide left hand as Toney stuck his left out. He was certainly hurt somewhat and that is quite evident to me. It's plain as day. You can see his legs weren't quite 100% rising and after he rose. A classic knockdown.

Hagler's up instantly completely peeved with and arguing with the ref. Roldan's left arm cuffs the back of his head. Hagler was practically bouncing up as he touched down whereas Toney got sat clean on his ass. You can read any amount of articles that state it was a slip, certainly not so with Toney.

 

P4P? All of them. But at super middleweight, Hagler, because he was a super middleweight, p4p. At heavyweight? Golovkin. Kovalev proved this. At super heavyweight? Toney, because he was a super heavyweight. At middleweight? Too late. Never underestimate. Middle. Weight.

 

According to Joe "johngarfield" Rein, Toney had a pair of extremely grotesque looking "boobs" as a super heavyweight. (What he actually told me was that underneath that "melted candlewax" exterior was a ridiculously muscled interior which suggested some rather copious steriod/PED usage.)

 

Listen, I'm not arguing who's hottest or who would look best with a wig on them. I'm partial to thicker girls, so that's gonna be a whole nuther argument, Noobs.

 

Do NOT make me render you speechless again, BE!...

Yeah, yeah, I know. You're the long established satirical house legend here [and at God only knows how many other websites], but you are NOT the sane one in this exchange! ("Anubis! Exchanging with Boxed Ears? Are you completely:

1) NUTS?
2) SUICIDAL?
3) BOTH?

"I'll take "3" for 15 cents short of a nickel, Zombie Alex!"...).

 

I’m going to say Toney on the basis that he fought in :
1. More fights
2. At higher weights
3. To a more advanced age

yet like the other two was never stopped

 

I don't think GGG took the Hearns and Mugabi punches Hagler took.

 

Not sure if thats a fair statement considering Hagler's first 30 fights has no film.

 

Pretty sure that if Hagler was put on his ass somebody would have remembered it.

 

I personally believe that Anubis and BE are the same poster

 

If it was strictly at 160 i'd have Toney third but i can understand the majority favoring his move up in the weights as it's pretty hard not to really.

 

Idiot! Now everybody knows you're BOTH of us!... @Boxed Ears
