                Jake Lamotta deserves a mention here. Sugar Ray Robinson would tell you how tough his chin was.

                    Holyfields chin is a bit overrated. Now when I say that you have to understand where I am coming from. Holyfield has been hurt many, many times in the ring so his chin is not all that it is cracked up to be-whats different with Holyfield is when you do ding his chin and he is hurt he is nearly impossible to knock out. Someone with an all time great chin is someone who never gets hurt, Holy has been hurt a number of times.

                    Gatti is very similiar to Holy, people talk about how great Gatti's chin is and they are for the most part offbase. Gatti gets hurt alot too but he like holfyield is extremely tough too finish, ask Mickey Ward.

                    An example of a truly great chin is Jorge Castro, you couldn't hurt the guy with a brick. Oliver McCall had a great chin as well.
                    Very good point, very good post !

                    Best chins in my opinion: Ali, Tua, McCall, Hagler, Rocchigiani, and Foreman had a very good chin too (especially the old Foreman).

                      Were do you start. heart vs chin
                      Holyfield is in the top of the lists when it comes to heart definetly. The guy was a cruiser though so of course hes going to get hurt.
                      Hopkins has got a great chin.
                      Wayne McCulloch
                      Ali without a doubt.
                      Marciano although alot of that had to do with his great conditioning.
                      La Motta, Tony Zale, Hagler, Greb, Jeffries, Dempsey.
                      There are so many out there to mention.
