I think a guy with the last name Morales may have something to say about that..

Not Sugar ray? 188 fights 1 ko loss due to Heat exhaustion. fought from welterweight to light heavy aged 19-41.

best chin in history no arguements.

Also Vitali has to be up there aswell for a HW not to have a KD against him no matter how bad the era is phenominal

james toney deserves a mention, as does ali, hopkins, holyfield, duran, ray leoanrd, ray robinson, la motta

wayne mccullough should be there...

Very good and very tough question to answer. Here is my list:

1. George Chuvalo. Took the best shots from guys like Foreman, Frazier, Ali, Patterson, Quarry and others in a 93 fight career without ever meeting the canvas.
2. Marvin Hagler. In his great career Hagler went down once (very questionable knockdown against Roldan and took the best punches of Hearns, Mugabi, Duran, Leonard and more.
3. Jake LaMotta. The Bronx Bull fought Sugar Ray Robinson 6 times, never going down and was well known for his sturdy chin.
4. Harry Greb. In a career that spanned nearly 300 fights was only ko'ed once fighting the very best and many times against larger opponents.
5. Randall "Tex" Cobb. Well known for his iron chin. I don't think there has ever been a heavyweight other than Chuvalo that could take a punch like him.
6. Charley Burley. Possibly the best fighter that never won a title could also take a good punch. Never knocked out in his career fighting people such as Archie Moore and Ezzard Charles.
7. Salvador Sanchez. This guy could do it all in the ring. I've seen him take the best from Little Red Lopez, Wilfredo Gomez, and Azumah Nelsdon without flinching.
8. Kid Gavilan. What a great chin this guy had. Usually when he fought, fights went the distance.
9. Rocky Marciano. The man who refused to lose, went down twice for very short counts. Had amazing endurance and an iron jaw.
10. Antonio Margarito. He took the best shots of Cotto and that said something to me right there. No doubt about it, has an iron jaw too.

lol, no Tua?

margarito should not be on that list. yes, he has a great chin, but not top 10 worthy.

I'd put Ward up there, although it could also be argue'd with his heart. I was watching all 3 Ward-Gatti fights last night and it still amazes me how they could take those shots.

margarito should not be on that list. yes, he has a great chin, but not top 10 worthy.

Tuaman!!!

[black.ink]

Margarito at 10 must be a joke. He doesn't even have the best chin today. Andrade will have words about that.

[street bully]

Why isn't Ali on the list?

The man had one of the best chins in boxing history seeing how he faced a few of the top five hardest hitting fighters in history without being hurt much. Ali's chin is leaps and bounds above Mariano's
