My honorable mention is Guillermo Jones, he fought from Welterweight to Heavyweight and he usually blocks punches with his head, its unreal. The shots he took in that Lebedev fight are just unbelievable.
PEDs...
Don King fighter...
Lost respect for Jones, he is a proven cheater and he has done it more than a couple of times!
If he did it naturally I don't think he'd of had the tank to sustain those shots that Lebedev was throwing at him, I'm not saying steroids = better chin but its clearly allowed him to have an unfair advantage which a natural man in his shape and age would of likely been sparked the **** out even just from the fatigue of being rattled about that much.
Forgot to mention Brandon Rios, don't know if anyone has mentioned him how could I forget him!
His chin has took so much punishment yet nobody has quite cracked that nut yet.
In LacedUps mind David Haye would have the best chin in the world if it wasnt for all the running he does
"Look at how he ate those shots from 60yo Carl Thompson yet still remained on his feet doe" :chomp:

Respect for LacedUp, it's brave being a David Haye fan on NSB lol.

That doesn't even make sense :lol1:
Whilst we're at it, Deontay Wilder is the biggest puncher in history, right?
yeah - but you also need to fight top fellas and not just duds.
I agree with this.

Vitali Klitschkos chin is the best of all time far as im concerned but since he has retired two obvious guys that come to mind is...
Carl Froch
Bernard Hopkins (not sure if his chin is equal to Froch because his defence is very good)
Taking heavy shot (notice singular) from such guys like 40 year old Shannon Briggs and Manuel 'future champ' Charr is no easy feat.
Who do you guys think has the best of this era?
I'll go with Mosley.

I see a lot of people picking Margarito and while there is no question that he has an A-class chin, I'm hesitant to declare him the best of the era when you have guys like James Toney who showed an A-class chin from 160 to heavyweight and was barely hurt. Margarito withstood excellent shots but I couldn't see him being successful at that even at 154. Mosley stopped him, Daniel Santos rocked him pretty bad and Danny Perez put him on his ass. I don't mean to discredit him at all as he's in my top five but I'm hesitant to place him at #1.
I agree with this.
I'd have to go with Vitali since at HW you need an exceptional chin nevermind a good chin.
That uppercut by Lennox would have knocked out a fukin horse and Vitali just ate it up. Credit where credit is due.
yeah - but you also need to fight top fellas and not just duds.
people are going off of fighters that havent been hurt or koed....but that isnt havent a best chin thats haven a good defense and skills.....
Have a good chin is .....who has taken the best punches? its only one fighter who defense was his face!!!Who was impossible to KO.....
And shane had a great chin....but u cant cant pick himas the greatest cuz when manny knocked him down he was afraid to engage after that
Antiono enaged the whole fight after being beaten to death
Exactly. Margarito literally blocked punches with his face just to land his own and he was rarely hurt. Mosley was throwing bombs on his head and margarito never went out cold.
Most if not all of the guys being mentioned had way better defense than margarito did.

Toney was a slick ****er. He was very good at rolling with the punches. Margarito meanwhile ate punches head on.
