    Calzaghe and Hamed are the two that spring to mind.

    Both pretty good but generally and often spectacularly overrated chins. Even iron-chinned fighters hit the deck once or twice in their careers, but some of the KD's suffered by these two preclude them from iron-chinned status. Hamed's fans just shout "Balance!" whenever his KD's are mentioned (go through them all again friends, they are NOT all due solely to balance), and Calzaghe's fans shout "he got up stronger and won!", neglecting to mention that the men who floored him were either too tactically reserved (Hopkins didn't even go for a KO as he was wary of gassing), too shot (Jones didn't have a KO in him), too mediocre (Byron Mitchell could hit but had none of the craft or poise to capitalize on hurting Joe), or too plain old shite at boxing (Kabary Salem, typical Calzaghe 97-06 tomato can).

    I would still put George Foreman's chin against every last one of these fools you guys have mentioned.

    It wasn't Paez, it was Danny Perez. They showed the knockdown clip during the Countdown to Cotto-Margarito special. Margarito also was down much earlier in his career against Miguel Gonzalez and Juan Soberanes (body shot).

    He just couldn't get a promotor so had to go to France to find any, and they just shipped him out all over the world.
