    You guys ever heard of Chuck Wepner, remember what Ali did to that guy, i'd say his chin is pretty solid.

      Wepner was a tough, tough guy. Muhammad may have given him a pasting but the job Liston did on him makes the Ali fight seem like a playground scrap.

      To quote the man himself...

      “Nobody ever hit me like he (Liston) did. I was never intimidated until I met him. Everytime he hit me he broke something. He broke my cheekbone, my nose and gave me 72 stitches. I was an intimidator until I met him.”

        Oliver McCall has a great chin! Apparently over 300 rounds of sparing with tyson and never down ( not sure how reliable my sources are? ) And watching him repeatedly charge at and head butt Lennox lewis's strait right hand then shake his head as if it meant nothing when he had a mental breakdown in there second fight was an odd spectical

          McCall has the best chin since Mercer IMO.

              having a great chin means you get hit with huge punches and never go down like chuvalo not getting hit by just average punches and get knocked down but you just get back up..that just means he had alot of heart.big heart but no so great of a chin

                  wepner was probably just being nice about liston ..liston did give him a beating but liston died soon after they fought..foreman fought wepner and stopped him in 3 and it took sonny 9 rounds so evidently foreman hit him harder..and dont say styles make fights because the point is both hit him and he couldnt last as long as he did with foreman as he did with liston but anyways wepner was a damn tough man..neighther liston or foreman put him down.i believe the only man to drop him was ali..great chin but chuvalo again has never been knocked down
