Greatest Chin of All Time?

[The Surgeon]

Oliver McCall, David Tua, Vitali Klitschko... Better Chins than Toney IMO

ALl faces the best competition of their times and have never been floored

Forgot about McCall! That chin was concrete! Tua is rock solid too. Klitchko duznt make the grade for me tho even tho he has a damn good chin, LL was sloppy and telegraphing his shots, They as u know boss are easier to take when u see them cuming.

[The Raging Bull]

My vote goes to Chuvalo. The guys head was made out of iron.

[BuddyChacon]

Chuvalo had never been dropped in his 93 fight career, he went in against the likes of Ali, Foreman, Frazier, Terrel, Patterson, Folley.. he had one of the greatest chins in history, there's no doubt about it.

Chuvalo also holds a win over Jerry Quarry who could swat once in awhile. The shots Tex Cobb took against Shavers and Holmes has to but him in the running for the best chin.

[BuddyChacon]

I always cite Marcos Villasana....as one of the strongets-chinned fighters in history.
This guy took the best punches of guys like Antonio Esparragoza, Azumah Nelson, Jeff Fenech (when Jeff still ****** hard), & Paul Hodkinson, without ever going down.
He has an all-time great chin, but is quite underappreciated/unknown.

Nice post I has send the Fenech fight which was probably Jeffs best work and he took alot of shots.

I cannot go for anyone but LaMotta. Check out the last few rounds in his Saint Valentine's Day Massacre fight against Sugar Ray Robinson. It is literally incredible.

We could sift through dozens of fighters, but Toney's chin is superior.

I can't stand that bastard but you could hit him with an aluminum baseball bat right in the mouth and he'd reach for his cellphone and answer it.

** Yeah, that'd be Boozo callin' him, tellin' him:

"Nobody could touch your old school slips and slides and you're the greatest fighter in history, and oh, the double deepfried dozen KFC chicken buckets you ordered for lunch has just arrived!"

Speakin' of Boozo, I ain't seen him around. Did he kill himself by swallowing a bucketfull of Toney's chicken bones after the 2nd Peter fight?

Actually. I've brought the last three rounds over for you. Bearing in mind that SRR was pretty much a knock out artist of his time, La Motta's chin here is breath-taking.

Toney was legitimately floored by Reggie Johnson, at 160.
Nunn & McCallum were not big punchers.

Meanwhile....Marvin Hagler walked through the best punches of true KO artists like Hearns, Mugabi, & Cyclone Hart.
Jake LaMotta took the best punches of Bob Satterfield, who knocked out heavyweights.

Toney's chin is unquestionably great, but the two I mentioned had better beards.

Without a doubt, Chris Eubank.

[!! Mr. Soprano]

Toney fought as a middleweight, dude. Name one other middleweight who could take flush shots from Peter.

But you are right about those guys having great chins. Not sure about Vitali because Lewis was the only guy that hit him with anything big. Sanders landed very few good shots on Vitali early and that was it. McCall and Tua took flush shots from Lewis, Tua for 12 rounds. Tua also took flush shots from Ibeabuchi. Tua had the best heavyweight chin ever, but p4p, which I think is the point of the thread, it's Toney.

Toney was not a 160LB fighter fighting Peter..

He fully grew into his HW frame.. a HW trapped in MDW Frame.. I don't buy it. Toney is a HW fighter..

I know Peter is build like a brick powerhouse and you cannot compare his frame to Toney's but you don't have a lot of fighters who are build like Peter. Byrd is a small guy, Holyfield is not a monster himself.. and Holy fought and took punches from some of the BEST HW hitters out there (Lewis, Tyson)


DLH started at 130, does it mean he is a Lightweight taking shots from Middleweights? Think about it.
