    I mean, Ezzard imo has a great chin, certainly not the worst here, yet he has the record

    Even though I'm Fitzsimmons fan, he certainly was dropped more times than that.

    I agree with janitor and George, this statistic is pointless. It doesn't show who has good chin or who doesn't. Fighters like Charles, Louis, Moore, Fitzsimmons had very good chins even if they got dropped quite a few times. Being dropped often has more to do with agressiveness and risk-reward strategies. Defensive boxers usually get dropped less often even without better chin.

    AGREED 100%. It is funny because the roy jones fans usually uses this as argument for his chin.
    "Roy jones had a very good chin in his prime because he never got stopped"
    Son.. Because he had great reflexes and no ****ing body barelly touched his chin, but jones never ever had a solid chin.

    You're missing two current CW champs. Dorticos and Makabu. I know Makabu has been down vs Bellew and I'm sure he was down somewhere else. Dorticos was down twice vs Gassiev and he was hurt by Kudryashov, can't remember if he was dropped though.
