One of the reasons that allowed him to be ring Magazine Lt. Heavyweight champion from 1997-2003. Ricky Hatton has a good chin as well. yes that's true but i was only focusing on heavyweights. i do think this perception that european boxers generally have bad chins is unfair and not true. giulio.m 06-26-2005, 03:02 PM sometimes european boxers get labeled as having bad chins, i was thinking about some recent european heavyweights past and present with good chins off the top of my head, i'm sure there are many more. Timo Hoffman Hoffman recently lost EBU title against Paolo Vidoz(sidney 2000 bronze medalist).. I don't like his technique... he can't throw combo like Vidoz do.

TheGreatA 04-14-2009, 05:42 PM The Croatian dude that fought Lennox Lewis, can't remember his name. Zeljko Mavrovic. Joe Grim was born in Italy. :boxing: Tommy Farr is a good call, he went the distance Joe Louis and Max Baer and was only stopped as a teenager and later on as a 40 year old during his comeback. BattlingNelson 04-14-2009, 05:44 PM Zeljko Mavrovic. Joe Grim was born in Italy. :boxing: Joe Grim. Really? He had a great chin. Of course I should mentioned Oscar 'Battling' Nelson. He was born in Copenhagen, Denmark. Arguably the greatest chin of all.
