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.
