    Librado Andrade now has boxing's best chin.

    In fact, it has always been better than Margarito's.

    5 for Honorable mention:

    Calzaghe
    Mosley
    Glen Johnson
    Hopkins
    Clottey

    Andrade seemed to be dropped pretty hard bu Yusaf Mack if I remember correctly. I'm not sure if it would count.

    James Toney gets my vote. Or Carlos Badlomir.

          Another good suggestion. Cunningham doesn't really hit that hard, but Adamek took a lot of shots from Briggs, Dawson, and Cunningham.

            I will wait until after his fight with Banks before saying it is iron. He was hurt badly by Cunningham who isn't known as a puncher.

              I think Clottey is a good one.

              Sam Peter too, taking into account the shots he actually takes.

              Carl Froch is one to look out for, he gets hit flush on the chin countless times each and everytime he fights.

                Librado's chin is not much better.

                He's a ko waiting to happen especially with that ever-available head of his. I don't think his chin holds up better than Margarito's. He's lesser skilled too.

                    I disagree. Andrade was legitimately hurt and knocked down by Yusaf Mack...early on too. and while Mack isnt a bad puncher, lets face it, if Andrade was up against some with the power and speed combo of Mosley, he would have been dusted off pretty early on.

                    Sam Peter's chin isnt that amazing. he was almost finished by McCline and even Maskaev had him wobbly at times.

                    Adamek definately can take a shot.

                    I havent seen Clottey get hit flush by any big punches yet, and I havent
                    seen Froch fight any big punchers yet either. dont give me Pascal.

                    the shots that Margarito ate for 8 rounds before he got knocked down were ridiculous. clean shot after clean shot, punches that would have easily knocked down or finished pretty much anyone else at Welterweight. Margarito took a TON of them.
                    just because he got knocked out doesnt mean that his chin got worse. anyone can be knocked out if you take enough shots. same thing with LaMotta vs Robinson.
