  • Best chin in history?

    A thread on the Non Stop boxing forum deriding the chin of British fighters got my thinking, who has the best chin in boxing history?

    I'm putting forward the name of Welsh legend Tommy Farr for consideration. His war with Joe Louis for the Heavyweight World Championship at the Yankee Stadium in 1937 was the best example of his durability as he slugged it out with one of the all-day great boxers for 15 tough rounds. He also went the distance with 2 other heavyweight hall-of-famers, Max Baer and Jim Braddock. He lost 5 times by knock-out, but never at his peak.

    As non-partisan suggestions I'll nominate Jake La Motta, Marvin Hagler and Evander Holyfield.

      Muhammad Ali
      ^^^As far as absorbing punishment. Both could get flash KD'd.

      George Chuvalo is really one who jumps out.
      Marvelous Marvin

        Jake Lamotta and I dont even think it's really close. That man could take BOMBS and laugh at you.

                Marvin Hagler had the best chin in boxing history.

                  Marvin Hagler MAY have had the best chin in boxing history, it wasn't tested as much as LaMottas though, so even being a huge Marvelous fan...this is Lamottas title.

                    There's way too many choices to say that it is LaMotta and ''Not even close", Pocket Rocket had a scary chin as did Gavilan, George Chuvalo and others.
