Couldn't possibly argue with any of the boxers already mentioned.
I'd like to add Carlos Monzon to the list. That boy could take a good beating and stay on his feet. Yes, he could be knocked down, but he always carried on as if nothing had happened.
I think Chris Eubank had one of the best chins too.

BASILIO, DARCY, GAVILAN, Barney ROSS, Tony ZALE, SADDLER, QUARRY, MARCIANO (give reasons why not), ALI for sure, Battling NELSON, Joe GANS, HAGLER, George KO BROWN, and there are more. A big factor in giving all the above a 10 out of 10 rating, is that they all proved their chins against Dynamite Punchers. But even a 10 chin can seem to fail under savage and sustained attack over the rounds, Ross and Quarry for instance. It took hundreds of punches from Armstrong to stop Ross, but throughout his career Barney took punches from some of the greatest in history,....... I'm done for now but if anybody wants to take me to task, I'm happy to talk about the ****ers that they faced.
