Battling Nelson is famous for being one of, if not the most durable boxer ever I believe.
That might have been the trump card.
Jake Lamatta would be one i'd throw up there.
Clottey has a good chin for recent guys, cotto knocked him down but that looked off balance more than anything else.
Valuev's chin isn't really that great. Haye stunned him, and even Ruiz stunned him.
Best chins, modern day and all time:
Oscar De La Hoya
Shane Mosley
Bernard Hopkins
Ricardo Mayorga
Muhammad Ali
George Foreman
James Toney
Vitali Klitschko
Manny Pacquiao
Antonio Margarito
To name just a few.
Excellent list. Hagler is missing though.

He might have been the toughest and most durable ever that's correct, but his chin wasn't particularly granite as he was KD'ed often. Not KO'ed mind you. Just KD'ed.
