Is there anyone with a better chin than Juan La Porte?

I think Hagler gets my vote. If prime 160lb Hearns lands his right hand FLUSH on your chin and Hearn's hand breaks and you're OK then that is the mark of a truly ATG chin. I don't know much about La Porte's career. I'll take a deeper look as well. Cheers.

Oliver McCall's chin is awesome too.

Paulie Maglinaggi also walked through cotto's "bombs" as did shane mosley and manny pacquiao. Cottos power at the elite level isnt that amazing. Against guys like alfonso gomez though, it's lethal I agree. Margo walking through Kermit's bombs not once but twice was a little more impressive.

Somebody get Khan some bubble gum stat!!

George Chuvalo has always been one my favorites. His chin was unreal. http://360waves.net/forums/style_emoticons/default/goodjob.gif I'm surprised he wasnt mentioned. Took Frazier, Ali and Foreman's punches.

Hagler chin was wow.... I don't think you can go wrong with either pick.... Both guys took punches from punchers. In multiple occasions. You're right that you can't go wrong either way. One Laporte fight I watch a lot is the one vs Rocky Lockridge. Laporte not known as a puncher knocked Lockridge out with a counter right hand. Beautiful punch.

Hector Camacho also had a sick chin also fellas. Tex Cobb and George Chuvalo didnt get mentioned.

Gorilla Jones gets my vote... 138 fights never KO'd once. Was only knocked down one time in 138 scraps, and that was by Freddie Steele a guy in the 30's who had a sick heavy handed left hook.

That's my pick. Hagler chin was wow.... I don't think you can go wrong with either pick.... Both guys took punches from punchers. In multiple occasions.

Laporte IMO has the greatest chin of all time. Hagler is up there too. That's my pick.

Margo does have a great chin too. He did take those shots like they were nothing, but Cotto pretty much ruined his chin. You could see it in the Mosley fight. The first decent shot Mosley landed in the first round sent Margo flying back. He even said it himself that he had not completely recovered from the Cotto fight when he stepped in the ring with Mosley. I think that's why he's boxing a lot more now instead of brawling. La Porte on the other hand has dealt with bombs from several legends. He went 15 rounds with Salvador Sanchez, and afterwards went 12 with JCC and Wilfredo Gomez. And even towards the end of his career he took Kosta Tszyu's best shots for 10 rounds without folding. That's four not just amazing punchers, but legendary punchers. John John Molina was also a decent puncher and he took his shots too. Right. Laporte had a great chin and a better one than Margarito.

Not a fan but Margarito has the best ive seen Most guys people will mention are guys that dont get hit too much like Mayweather but let him get hit like Margarito has gotten hit and theres no way he survives. I mean walking through Cottos BOMBS like that is unreal He didn't walk through Mosley's.

Jake lamotta No son of a bitch ever knock me down. You never got me down ray. He actually did go down once I think.

John John Molina was also a decent puncher and he took his shots too. Not at all familiar with La Porte because he was past my time but if he had the type of style Margarito had, where he just walks through guys punches and puts a ton of pressure, then to survive against those guys especially Tszyu is unreal But if he was that boxer type that didnt get landed on too much then i would pick Tony

I used to train in a gym where LaPorte was coaching at when I was a kid, I think you are referring to Betances Gym, if not that one then probably it is a different one but he was in all these gyms at some point or another. dude is a class act, we like to call him the uncrowned champion and I think many of you know why he got that name Yeah if I can find my card I'd be able to tell you, but I always called it Juan La Porte's GYM because that was on the wall inside the gym; in huge fonts also. Me, I live at 156st, real close to 3rd ave, so I'm not really sure. Gym was about 3 mins away, it was that close. As for La Porte, never met the guy, or maybe I did :lol1:

I used to go to a Boxing GYM around 3rd ave, and I believe the name of the GYM was Juan La Portes, don't remember too well. Gym doesn't exsist anymore though...
