Greatest Chin In Boxing History is actually James Toney

[Roadblock]

Dude took BOMBS from middleweight to heavyweight and never got KO'ed. He actually fought Holyfield, Sam Peters and got bombed on. Never got stopped.


dude was a mutant

But he had the weakest ankle in boxing lol.

Good fighter was a very talented MW.

Ali had the greatest chin
Toney a very close 2nd

Toney had good head and waist movement and was great at rolling punches. Fighters that actually took clean chin, tempo, and just straight face and head shots for years are fighters like Margarito, Andrade, Pavlik and more recently Golovkin. Those are the best chins I've seen.

Hes definitely right up there yeah. Unfortunately all those shots got to him over the longer term.

One of my favourite boxers ever. Skilled and fearless.

It also matters on how many KO artists did a guy face.

Chin durability includes skin. If you can be stopped on cuts, then you're just not as durable as Toney who never gets cut.

What?!? Sorry, but you made me laugh wih this comment. Thank you.

Yeah I agree Ali had a granite chin and proved it by taking flush bombs from some of the hardest punchers in history, Ali is always talked about as a great boxer but man oh man he was tough in the chin and the body. Thats one thing lots don't realise with fighters like Ali and even Floyd, is on top of the brilliant boxing their chins were granite and that combination made them nearly unbeatable.

Toney didn't really take shots flush, he was great at slipping and sliding his head taking a lot of power off the punch, Toney was a great MW and his boxing ability was much higher quality than the HWs of his day, his boxing ability is what carried him through the HWs, he became flat-footed and just slipped punches, his chin was good for sure but not like Ali who was was hit with some shots from Shavers that would drop a horse and Ali didn't blink, Foreman lifted Frazier of the canvas with an uppercut and Ali let big George punch himself out on his ribcage and then stopped him, the few times Ali was dropped look at how he gets up and shakes it off instantly.

Lest we forget “Dangerous” Don Moore, 18-0 and never knocked down.
