Tommy Hearns was chinny, he wasn't chinless look at the people that KO'd him.
Hagler, Leonard, Barkley, Grant.
Grant was when Hearns 42 so we'll ignore that, Leonard, Hearns and Barkley could crack and I'd say the KO Leonard scored was also to do with lack of stamina in the late half of the fight.
Terry Norris, Floyd Patterson.Comment

I'd still rate Floyd Patterson's chin over Terry Norris'.
Patterson's problem was that he himself was no more than light heavyweight, taking on 200+ lbs opponents. Anyone who has seen his fights against Ali knows that he could take it on the chin fairly well.
Archie Moore and Yvon Durelle were big light heavyweight punchers but Patterson walked through them.
Johansson was not one of the greatest champions but he could punch. Eddie Machen had a tested chin yet Johasson knocked him out in just one round.
Norris took on a past prime welterweight moving up, got knocked down by a jab and knocked a few rounds later. His chin was "Terrible".
Hearns seemed surpisingly durable at 175 lbs against Virgil Hill and Iran Barkley (the second time).
