    Well he did face Williamson, but apart from that he hasn't been facing punchers.

      I wouldn't put Valuev there yet. He's not tasted leather from huge punchers, although with the size of his skull, he may well be up there with the best chinned guys. We don't know yet though.

          Don king didn't just open his cage, shoved him on a plane, and lure him to the ring with big foot bait to see how many fighters he could beat.

          Don wants to see how many licks this dude can take before he hits the canvass.

          I don't think that's gonna happen any day now.

            Squatty little fireplug shapped heavyweights like Peter, Tua, and even Toney, the way they are built they can absorbe the shock of a punch very well, and combine that with the low center of gravity and they have good chins.

            Good call for those who said Oliver McCall also, he can take some shots.
            Also I'd add the giant Valuev.

              It would be funny to see Tua fight him, but it's just a pity Tua has let himself go over the past few years.

                Yeah, I remember Tua being hailed as the next Tyson when he was coming up.

                Bad management I guess.

                I'd rather see Valuev vs Butterbean.

                  Not even wobble, c'mon lets be realistic here. I just watched the Sanders fight again and Vitali was rocked pretty good in the first round of that fight. To his credit, he was able to recover and start fighting 'his' fight instead of Sanders'.

                  My vote for the best chin is Brewster. If you watch the Liakhovich fight, he was hit with so many big shots its amazing that he went the twelve and was just as competitive. Peter on the other hand, has withstood some big shots but hasn't weathered any big storms like Brewster has. Right now, everyone is speculating on Peter's chin when Brewster's has been proven time and time again.

                    Tua's been a real dissapointment in recent years. After a long layoff, I think Tua came back in 2005 and has fought on average twice per year against very limited competition. It's also been reported that he's ducked quite a few fighters in the past year or so. I'd like to see him back in the mix but he's got to work much harder than he is right now.

                      The best chins belong to Vitali Klitschko and Oliver McCall. Other good ones include David Tua, Samuel Peter and Lamon Brewster.
