I cant split Vitali and Froch i know Froch went down vs Taylor but hes never been rocked and he takes more shots that Vitali against harder hitters (p4p) and faced better competition. But Vitali has never been down Lewis had him hurt but man Lennox had serious power. So i got say joint first those 2 so ill go:
2:Shane Mosley
3:Glenn Johnson
4:Arthur Abraham
5:Floyd Mayweather
Had bit of an issue putting Floyd in as he doesnt get hit that much but when he does it is against the elite. What u guys think?
Antonio margarito has the best chin in the sport. Never seen a fighter get hit flush over and over and just keep coming. Throw out the Mosley fight because he was juiced up big time. Throw out PAC and his illegal wraps and there you have the best chin in the sport
1. Floyd Mayweather - 16 years never been on his ass and has fought on a championship level for 14 years.
2. Paulie Malignaggi - Been in there with big boys and I'm not sure I ever saw him dropped.
3. Shane Mosley - Top level fighter has taken a few beatings but all shows his mettle
4. Carl Froch - Takes a big punch
5. Glen Johnson - Never been down and has fought great fighters
I don't understand how Vitali gets the reputation of having an iron chin, the two most skilled fighters he's ever fought rocked him. His competition has been absolute **** though, the skill level P4P between the Hws and the guys someone like Froch has fought is tremendous.
Sanders came out of retirement as a pro golfer at age 38 to fight Vitali and was able to rock Vitali, a prime Sanders would've taken advantage and KOd him. Lewis was fat and out of shape at age 38 and had Vitali hanging on for dear life as well.
lewis and sanders are two of the hardest punchers ever.
ever. power on a big man is THE last thing to go. you bet your ass they hit VK with shots that would have made a lesser man lose consciousness
vitali has a great chin. on top of that he's one of the biggest men to ever box at the world class, which helps you absorb shots

Lennox Lewis was a monster puncher, and Vitali took his shots for 6 rounds and his chin held up.

you miss the fight with shane mosley?
floyd does not have a great chin. i'm not saying it's horrendous, but it's certainly not great
abraham, johnson, and mosley all have / have had great chins, but they're faded / at the end of their careers. hell, shane is retired.
abraham still has an argument. he took mirandas bombs on a broken jaw.
took good shots from dirrell (even if he was dropped, dirrell is big and is a very good offensive fighter with some pop and great timing.)
good shots from froch
barely blinked when andre ward hit him, etc.
carl froch
vitali klitschko
johnson, abraham, and mosley do / did all have great chins, though and are good nods.
margarito's is better, imo, but he's also retired now essentially.
toney and hopkins are starting to really show their age. your chin is one of the last things to go, but they dont look like they took shots like they used to. both have ATG chins.
another nod
pacquiao. very underrated jaw because of the stoppage losses to little guys.
he's been taking punishment in victory and defeat against WW now for years. he's no more than a LW. weighed 138 against hatton, 143 against marquez, etc, and he eats like a horse and tries to put on muscle under the tutelage of ariza
at FW he ate shots for breakfast. fought punchers, too.

Pacs chin must be one of the best as he hasnt been down and has fought all comers, and Margarito and Cotto couldnt dent him, so how come froch is right up there when he was down legitamately against JT recently?
How can floyds chin be the best when he was nearly ko'ed by SSM in 2 rounds and SSM never kos anyone in 2 rounds.? FLoyd dont get hit a lot square on, but when he his hit the world knows about it and he starts acting kinda funny.
:rofl: 40 sec he gets knocked down by a fukin jab!

Why is Mayweather getting mentioned so much he's been hit with only a handful of big punches his entire career. Any way off the top of my head
1.Vitali
2.Froch
3.Segura
4.Rios
5.Pacquiao
6.Arreola
And both is on my list.
That wasn't my point bro. You brought Froch up in response to Mayweather. No doubt Kessler and Carl have great chins but I'm willing to bet if Floyd was caught with big shots time and time again like Froch and Mikkel then I doubt he'd be in anyone's top 5 list.
Floyd's been rocked a few times
i dont think theres a single fighter whos never been rocked. glen johnson was hurt against cloud. froch was hurt against dirrell and down against taylor. vitali was hurt against lewis and sanders. mosley was rocked out of his boots against forrest. etc
anyone and everyone can get hurt. but if you take the majority of big shots well and recover fast the few times they do have an effect on you, then you have a good if not great chin. that certainly applies to mayweather.
