5 best chins in boxing history

Can't really think of 5 at the moment but I will say that I don't think it is/was a chin better then Hagler's IMO

Chavez Sr, Camacho

Hagler Mercer Jose Luis Lopez "maestrito" from back in the 90s Welter Weight Ahli James Toney

Honorable mentions - Juan Laporte and Rocky Juarez

Morales Pac Margarito Clottey Vitali Froch Rios Mayweather - Hard to say as its not been tested too much, but he took mosleys punches flush n stayed on his feet Dunno why people arent saying pac...I know he got Ko'd but the guys chin is amazing had not been down in how many years...

Margarito Margarito Margarito Froch Margarito

just proves the point even more. tell me HOW!

the guy on my image has the best chin..hagler, eubank,froch, a prime holyfield,mayweather

Always felt Chris Eubank Sr had a truly great chin. Eubank was often matched easy but when he had to take a shot he always proved his worth. Nigel Benn - who was a murderous puncher - could never shift Chris and he survived some big punches from Carl Thompson, who was a fully-fledged crusierweight with a decent punch. That's the same Thompson who banged-out David Haye. Can also still remember Calzaghe (who could dig before his hand problems and was definitely not a slapper) nailing an ageing Eubank about 15 seconds into their title fight. Getting cracked so early, flush and hard in a fight would have had most blokes shocked and back-pedalling like crazy. But Eubank just gets up, gives Calzaghe a couple of nods and smiles, has a bit of a chat with the ref, and then comes steaming back.

Really hard to narrow down to 5. I think Lamotta and Ali are the two most obvious choices. After that there's a long list to chose from. I would have Dick Tiger in my Top 5. He truly had one of the ATG chins but pretty much never get's mentioned. Monzon is up there, he has one of the best chins I've ever witnessed. I remember when Valdez dropped him, with a huge, clean, solid right hand and everyone was in total shock. Monzon didn't even seem too fazed by it. I was still quite young when the second Briscoe fight happened but that punch he landed in the 9th would have knocked out almost anybody. As great as Monzon's chin was, even he was lucky to survive it and only God himself knows how he managed stayed on his feet.

Hagler, La Motta, Hector Camacho Sr Vitali Klitschko Rocky Marciano

evander comes to mind

I have a feeling that the top 5 best chins in boxing are actually no-name journeymen, who these guys that are being mentioned, fought, but couldn't knock them out. You know, that guy with the terrible record, that your favorite fighter has a points win over.

There was a guy who was mentioned by Natas to be the oldest fighter to fight. I think his chin could actually be the best ever. I found him... Saoul Mamby. His record right away screams "bum" 45-34. But the guy suffered 1 TKO, that was when he was 46 years old. His last three fights, he was 52, 53, , 61 years old. He lost all of them by decision. He fought prime Duran, Shields, McGirt, Blocker, Castillejo. They all beat him, but none of them knocked him out. Of course he's a "no name" so he won't be mentioned.

Recent Fighters: - Antonio Margarito - Carl Froch - Brandon Rios - Lucas Matthysse - Julio Chavez Jr

I'm not interested in the past, the history section can deal with that ,here is my take on a few of the guys who are active Rios Froch Vitali Mayweather These guys have answered questions I had. I've no doubts every single one of them could be KO'd under the right circumstances but they have done enough to have solid whiskers in my book
