Arturo Gatti. His chin was weird, it got better and better the more abuse he took. Not like a Tito where he could be flashed, he would get seriously rocked and hurt in the first few rounds, but then as the punishment piled on, his chin would turn to granite. That dude was more determined than anybody I have ever seen.

khan went from having no chin at all to being able to take the hardest puncher in the division hook to the chin multiple times and still not hit the canvas
Ive watched some prime RJJ fights and he took shots before, toney landed a few decent punches and he didn't hardly flinch. Then later in his career he gets k.o'd by anything.

I wouldn't call his chin inconsistent, but there is something bizarre about the typically rock-jawed Shane Mosley suffering his only career knockdowns (bad ones, too) to the good, but not great-punching Vernon Forrest.

And it was sort of the opposite with Roy. He had to cut a lot of muscle to make it back down from heavyweight and it drained him. Add that with his declining reflexes and you had a bad recipe for a KO there.

i'm pretty sure that's got a lot less to do with being consistent than it does with the wear and tear on a boxers' brain and its capacity to diminish his ability to take a punch
