    Cotto's chin isn't the greatest. It's not terrible, but not one of the best.

                i dont think benn had a great chin, he was hurt by eubank at times who had a much better chin. froch, hagler, eubank and hamed also had good chins.

                hopkins defence is so good theres no point in saying hes got a good chin or ot because he very rarely get tagged cleanly.

                g-man had a decent chin or so i hear, tyson, mcline and tua were fighters born to take a punch - strong legs, thickly set and with virtually no neck!

                fighters like ali and calzaghe had good recuperative powers and come back strong once they were hurt/floored/stunned.

                but the award has to go to andrade, how he took bombs off kess and so many combos off bute and didn't go down i will never know, sugar shane has an iron chin as well and has been overlooked so far

                      Nigel Benn had a lot of things going for him but a good chin isnt one of them.

                      Eubank would have been a better call, one of the toughest chins in boxing history.
