The 10 greatest chins of all time.

[Obama]

I don't think Jack Dempsey has any business on the list. I don't think the Firpo fight proved anything positive. How long was he outside the ring again? And did he not need help to get back in?

Whoever said McCall was on the money. That guy to this day is KO proof. Also, I'd throw Gene Fullmer in the mix. Sure he got stopped twice, but after watching how, could you blame him?

were's ali and monzon? aswell as kid gavalin and panama al brwon? but it was a good list!

i also think dempseys chin is overrated!

I'm surprised Ali didn't make it on that list...Not to be predictable, but he stood up to some of the hardest punchers in heavyweight history.

Yes, he was knocked down a few times, but was never KO'd.

I think watching the Shavers, Holmes, Foreman and Frazier fights would attest to this.

Why Ali was left out is beyond me. Ali might have had the best chin of them all.

Harry Greb was only stopped twice in 299 fights, and once was due to a broken arm.

Surely Greb should have been there too.

No love for James Toney?

He had a chin made of pure granite that served him well from Middleweight all the way up to Heavyweight.

Thanks Jab.. Yes.... I knew there was at least one I'd left out.. Greb should be there 4 sure...
Seen some calls for Ali to, but we're talking the best of all time, not the last 50 years or so..
With regard to Dempsey... Wasn't he starched by Fireman Jimmy Flynn in less than a minute?....
Out cold for over 20 secs, so the story goes...

1. Mike Gibbons 133 fights 0 KO's
2. Duilio Loi 126 fights 0 KO's
3. Billy Graham 126 fights 0 KO's
4. Packy McFarland 112 fights 0 KO's
5. Fidel LaBarba 84 fights 0 KO's
6. Tony Canzoneri 175 fights 1 KO
7. Pete Herman 143 fights 1 KO
8. Sammy Angott 131 fights 1 KO
9. Teddy Yarosz 128 fights 1 KO
10. Jack Dillon 252 fights 2 KO's

That's quite a list there MM. Some of those fighters are unknowns to me I must admit. Surely they didn't all face world class opposition or........?

There are a fair few rumours that he dived in that one. Think Dempsey had a good chin but I wouldn't put him in the company that has been mentioned.

In fact they are all former world champs and HOFFA's to boot..
