    I'm surprised nobody listed Lennox Lewis and Roy Jones!! How could you leave them out of the list they have granite like chins.

      The guy that should make any list is Jorge Castro, this guy would take king kong the distance, no one has ever ko'd him or hurt him that I know of and know one ever will, He took Roy the distance when Roy was winning every fight by ko, he let Jirov beat on him and didn't blink, the guy is a rock! And as for his chin, its a lot more sturdy than a rock!
      People don't mention McCall because he's not that popular.McCall is probably tougher than Mercer even.

        L.Lewis..hell no!!! he was ko'ed by two fighter that even shot tyson would have taken shots from and ko'ed...i mean if ur gonna say lewis..tyson should be on there lol..u have to weaken tyson chin first atleast..good list

        i do think lamotta should be higher though...that man was amazing..and ali had a good chin but i dont think he was number one..when he was dropped by frazier it was a flash KD..anyway all the others are great...what about marciano..i know he wasnt ever truly tested to some people but he was never ko'ed

          If you had a brain you would know no one's invincible. Everyone loses..at least the best do.

          Anyways, this thread was based on best chin's of all time, and you turn this into something else....try to keep to the topic next time.

                  Absolutely.......I have seen this question posed many times and my big three are always Chavalo, Randall Cobb and Ali.

                    Good list. I would also add Rocky Marciano to the list, he took some massive shots in his bouts. And other than his fight with "the hitman" Duran's chin is also pretty solid. As for a current fighter James Toney comes to mind after absorbing punishing shots from Jirov and an "older" but still hard punching Holyfield.
