Toss up for me between Ollie McCall and Chuvalo. Ali took probably more punishment than anyone over his career, but he had enough head movement that many of the shots he took were not directly on his chin.
McCall, especially when coked out, was indestructible.
Chuvalo, before the advent of coke, was likewise.
And you have to pick a heavyweight in this poll I think - there's no way, for instance that Chavez would be able to take Joe Frazier's bombs for 15.
Oh shit, Damn!
OLIVER FUCKING MCALL!!!
I knew I missed somebody who really should be up there, I knew it, fucking hell.
Oliver McCall really should of been on that list. Fuck.
wow, Tex only got 2 votes. Hagler certainly had an iron chin, but to rank him as top chin, makes this a pound for pound best chin poll as opposed to just, "Best Chin" Let's see Marvin take Larry Holmes punches non stop for 15 rounds.
I'll stick with TEX as he beat Larry's fist to a bloody pulp with only his pretty face.
Sure Marciano might have the sentimental win in this one, but those were smaller men. That said, Rock could take it and then get you out of there. Tex could only Take it.
Tex was on the Tnight Show a couple weeks after the fight. He said might have won the fight, if it had gone anohter 5 rounds. tex thought Larry would have got tired in Round 20 and that would have given Tex the chance he needed to connect.

I vote for Hagler. Others with awesome chins are Erik Morales, Pocket Rocket, and Ricardo Mayorga(except against Trinidad. In that fight his chin was good, not great but who could blame him?).
Surprised no one has mentioned Holyfield
No.
Wayne McCullough has the best chin of all time hands down.
Pocket Rocket for sure.
You could hit Wayne with a fucking baseball bat.....and not knock him down. Its a no brainer here.

Randall Cobb.
Why? How about 15 Rounds of shit kicking from a Prime Holmes, and the big Texan stayed on his feet the whole way. Fuckin' cowboy was interviewed by "Wide World of Sports" one week before the fight while he was "training" at a honky-tonk bar with a half-naked chick sitting on his knee and a beer in his hand.
Tex went into that bout with absolutely no skill or training or conditioning, it was just CHIN that kept the guy upright for 15 rounds of pure ass whoopin'.
Actually.
Mills Lane asked "Do you Know where you are?"
Cobb replied: "Yeah. I'm in Vegas getting the shit kicked out of me."
That fucker had a chin of Iron. That many clean shots from the greatest jab in the history of the division was ridiculous.

If you choose 'Other' then please state who.
I say Lamotta. Just having survived 5 fights with Robinson giving him everything he had and more is incredible.
mccullough
He is my vote for best chin of all time.
2nd would be Jake Lamotta.
