    Best Chin in Boxing!

    I dont know if anyones made a thread about this recently or not but here goes anyway.

    I was wondering who you lot think has the best chin in Boxing today.

    On recent performances John Duddy has to be right up there and would probably be my top pick but there are a lot of others.

    Barrera and Morales both took a hell of a shot in their day, but who takes that mantle now that they are gone...

    Hatton, Andrade, Sam Peter, Calzaghe or maybe even Pac Man???

    what do yas think?

    Carlos Baldomir, Librado Andrade and Joe Calzaghe all have proven granite chins.

        Couple different ways to define a good chin.

        Did Holyfield have a great chin? He was hurt repeatedly throughout his career but once you hurt him he was practically impossible to stop.

        Some say Tyson had a great beard and sure he could take a decent amount of punishment but once he started taking it he was done dishing it out.

        In todays game I look at Antonio Margarito as a guy that will be damn tough to hurt....he keeps coming never deterred....great chin.

        Jessie Feliciano may not be an elite level of fighter but I dont think there is a better beard in the game-he took countless shots against Cintron (who could be the sports best puncher p4p) and kept coming it was an amazing display of CHIN.

          aii true true but duddy's display against that walid Schmit guy was nothing short of astonishing. i think those kind of shots would have knocked some cruiser weight/ heavyweights the **** out!

            Shane Mosely has a pretty good chin. He ate all of Cotto's best shots and kept coming back for more.

              yer mosleys got a wicked chin.

              In all honestly i think De La Hoya's got a great chin aswell, but he never seems to get mentioned. he's fought some terrific punchers yet he's only ever been stopped by a body shot from a big middleweight in BHop.

                Exactly. It says nothing about his chin. He had no business fighting Hopkins other than for $$$$. De la Hoya is a pretty gifted boxer. He has/had it all.
