    Five European Heavyweight Boxers past and present with good chins

    Axel Schultz
    Zeljko Mavrovic
    Vitali Klitschko
    Timo Hoffman

              Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't the Ibragimovs cousins?

                      Michalczewski had a good chin. One of the reasons that allowed him to be ring Magazine Lt. Heavyweight champion from 1997-2003. Ricky Hatton has a good chin as well.

                          yes that's true but i was only focusing on heavyweights. i do think this perception that european boxers generally have bad chins is unfair and not true.

                              Timo Hoffman
                              Hoffman recently lost EBU title against Paolo Vidoz(sidney 2000 bronze medalist).. I don't like his technique... he can't throw combo like Vidoz do.
