    All have chins at least as good if not outright better:

    Muhammad Ali
    George Chuvalo
    Oliver McCall
    Tex Cobb
    Rocky Marciano
    George Foreman
    Joe Frazier
    David Tua
    Mike Tyson
    Larry Holmes
    Max Baer
    Ray Mercer
    Ike Ibeabuchi
    Marion Wilson

    See my response to another poster a few posts above to see what I feel in regards to Holyfield's chin and recuperative powers.

    Holyfield was not more hurt by a single punch by Cooper as he was by Ruiz.

    Yes, Holyfield was of course a better fighter in 1991 than 2001, but that wasn't the question.

    I remember reading in a boxing magazine where Holyfield said that Riddick Bowe was the hardest puncher he had faced. This was said right before his first fight with Lennox Lewis. I also remember Holyfield saying that Michael Dokes probably hit him harder than Foreman did.

    Joe Frazier- starched in 2 rounds and knocked down 7 times?

    David Tua- his resume is pathetic

    Oliver McCall- pathetic resume

    Tex Cobb- ko'd in 1 round by dee collier, knocked down by light hitting eddie greg...known for taking a beating vs holmes

    Ike Ibeabuchi- REALLY? 20 friggin fights and holyfield has over 20 world title fights alone? LAUGHABLE

    Max Baer- who the hell remembers his chin?

    Rocky Marciano- dropped by light heavyweight, holyfield dropped by a 240 pound 6 foot 5 guy

    i would say these guys are same level of chins
    Muhammad Ali
    George Chuvalo
    George Foreman
    Mike Tyson
    Larry Holmes
    Ray Mercer
    Marion Wilson- great chin, but survivor and never tries to win

    Dwight Qawi - fight #13 for holyfield
    Rick Quartey in his 3 rounder - rickey parkey, and holyfield crushed him

    Michael Dokes 1989 - brutal puncher

    Alex Steward I - 24 wins 24 KOS

    George Foreman - 69 wins and 65 knockouts

    Bert Cooper - broke mercers jaw, has a hilight reel of KOS through out his career

    Tyson- the most devastating puncher of his era

    Bowe - 31-0 (26 kos) outweighed holyfield by 20-30 pounds

    moorer- 34-0 (30 KOS)

    holyfields resume just up to that point against world class fighters that can also punch your head off is SICK


    but the giant joke of the century is when ESB ****ing idiots give oliver mccall, david tua , and even ike ibeabuchi as better chins when their resumes are beyond PATHETIC
