    Moorer
    Morrison
    Norton
    Klitschko
    Lewis

    I wouldn't really rate Lewis among these chins really. The two ko's were essentially flukes....and he held up pretty well over all throughout his career.

    Norton got knocked out by 3 murderous punches. 2 of those happened when Norton was past his prime. But you think Norton has a worse chin than Klitschko?

    you gotta rank them by logic, depending on who got stopped by worst possible in their prime - those who got -

    1. destroyed by multiple fringers - only Wlad K
    2. stopped by good contenders - Moorer
    3. destroyed by top contenders - Morrison
    4. stopped by top contenders -Lewis, Norton
    Lewis is better chin than Norton so he is top.

    from worst to best - Wlad K, Moorer, Morrison, Norton, Lewis.

    Wlad and Moorer undoubtedly had weak chins, Morrison did not have a solid chin but his KO losses could be partially attributed to stamina and carelessly letting his hands go and leaving his chin unprotected. Norton I can't comment on, haven't seen much of him tbh.
    Lewis had a decent chin, his two losses were a result of underestimating his opponent and not preparing properly (Rahman), if he had a weak chin there's no way he could have gone to war with Vitali, Mercer and Bruno and still won.
