Comments Thread For: Daily Bread Mailbag: The most underrated chins, Artur Beterbiev-David Benavidez, and the IBHOF claims of Oleksandr Usyk, Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, and Deontay Wilder

I wouldn't have thought Oliver McCall's chin was underrated, but then again, OP and Breadman didn't bring him up, so I'll do it again here

Here’s an ‘out there’ pick for an underrated chin that many will instinctively scoff at - Naseem Hamed. Often terrible balance, poor head position, chin up in the air, several knockdowns suffered, but most elite fighters would have been KO’d fighting with the recklessness he did.

Take a close look at that first knockdown suffered against Kevin Kelley. Kelley could really crack, he stepped in as Hamed pulled back and nailed him flush right on the point of the chin. Not only did Hamed jump straight back up, he even had the wherewithal to try and catch his fall with his right glove.
