    Who had "Iron" Body [like "iron chin"]?

    I can recall Ali freely letting Chuvalo pound his body for some time, to no avail. [I recall that he did have to go to hospital as a result]

    Anyone come to mind who could shrug off all blows to the body?

    Rigondeaux come to mind in his last fight. Where it let Ceja just T off and just stared at him.

      Andy Ruiz. Everyone targets his belly, doesn't affect him.

        Good one. Didn't think of that method.

          Hagler was immune to all punches except to the nuts.

                How was LaMotta?
                Had a chin like Hagler, what about to the body?

                  Chris Eubank Senior, Evander Holyfield.

                  During the first Nigel Benn fight? Nigel Benn broke afew of Eubank Senior's ribs. 'Well I think his performance in that fight was a testament, more to his Iron will etc'

                    Frankie 'the Surgeon' Randall absorbed and willed himself through some hell-acious liver shots from the great J.C. Chavez in their first fight especially.

                    Many (maybe even most) other fighters would have wilted.
