    Mariusz Wach. He is slower than statue and his defense in non-existantm but his chin is incredibly good. He got hit plenty of times by prime Wlad, prime (and probably roided) Povetkin, Miller and Bakole among others and has yet to hit the canvas. The only time when he got stopped not because of injury/cut was Bakole fight where he got hit with 15 clean punches to the had in a row by a very hard-hitting opponent and was still standing. Referee just decided to stop the beating and rightfully so

    I just saw that he's still active so Dominick Guinn. His resume is a who's who of the HW division. in 50 fights never stopped, or even close to being stopped as far as I can recall.

    Wach is probably the right call. He's taken monster shots and not just one at a time.

    I'd honestly say Canelo is close. He's tanked some crazy punches and just keeps on trucking.

    Never stopped, fought some big dudes at HW. Great call. I wish this guy would have gotten more shots at the title

    Wach - the video above says it all and could find countless other examples.

    GGG - the shot that nearly killed Khan didn’t even move him, you could see the disbelief in Canelo’s eyes.

    Canelo - that fully loaded punch from Jacobs didn’t move him, wasn’t really ever hurt from GGG punches.

    Just below that I’d say Porter, DSG, Eubank, Parker, Allen (not a good thing).
