    You clearly stated that Hopkins' chin is the most tested. It isn't. Even when guys do manage to slip one in past his world class defense, which is rare, he always keeps his chin tucked. Never do you see him throwing wide hooks with his chin up in the air, etc. like Shane regularly does. Sure, he takes a clean punch here and there, but never enough to accumulate a ton of damage. How often do you see a guy go down from one punch without any accumulation of damage beforehand? Very rarely. I do believe that Bernard has a good chin, but there's a reason he protects it so well, and to say it's the most tested of anyone's on that list is laughable.

    I've already agreed that JT has a world class chin....And while the fact that he's so relaxed and rolls punches so well doesn't diminish his chin, it has a lot to do with the fact that he hasn't been KTFO. Let's not forget Sam Peter put him on his ass with a single jab, and why did that happen? Because he was finally able to hit him flush on the chin without JT using his defensive skill to better absorb the impact. He walked right into it with his chin up.

    Shane doesn't have nearly as good a defense as either of these guys, so he's been hit clean far more than either of them by some pretty big punchers P4P. He's been down once in his career on accumulated damage against a naturally bigger guy. His chin is world class....At least comparable to Toney's and better than Bernard's.

    I'm gonna go with DLH. The guy's taken big shots from guys that can bang. I still can't believe he just stood there and took it all night from Pacquiao and didn't go down, especially after seeing the way Manny dropped Hatton and Cotto.
