    Tyson Fury. He can take his own furious uppercut and not fall.

      Why have you got someone like Pac, who has been knocked out, dropped numerous times, wobbled, hurt and stunned, over guys like Hopkins, Mosley, Mayweather etc who have never been knocked out or even hurt that bad. Christ, Hopkins is 803 years old and still no one can hurt him properly! Even a 26 prime champion couldn't do any more than hit him with some borderline rabbit punches to get a couple of flash KDs and he wasn't even hurt. There are guys with much better chins than Pac in boxing that aren't on that list.

            You joking right? Who has Vitali fought to determine this. Old ass Lennox Lewis dosn't count. I guess your young in the game. Research Ray Mercer, Holyfield,David Tua, Ike Beabuci, Goerge forman, Ali, Joe Frasier. those guys had chins of steel.

            LOL the thread starter blocked me from replying again to this sorry ass thread. Vitali is a joke heavyweight. If we had any of the 90s Heavyweight champs there would be no Klisch bros. Lewis was fat and did not train for that fight with Vitali, his punches did not have the speed or tork of a in prime shape Lewis. His timing and everything was off and he still allmost killed Vitali, lol

              and exactly why does lewis not count? Did you see the bombs he connected on Vitali?

              I would say this guy has the best chin in hw history.
              Getting pounded into a late TKO by foreman without going down says a lot.

              Edit: And with late, i mean the stoppage could have been done a lot sooner.

                Vitali -- it's not even close.

                  I figure as much....but as good as he is, he doesn't need to be at the top of every single category of great boxing things.

                  It's a lift sad when one of his fans will put down something like this for them: Greatest chin=Pac (not Chuv etc)
                  Greatest defense=Pac (not Whitaker, Locche etc)
                  Greatest speed=Pac (not Taylor, Leonard)
                  Greatest jab=Pac (not Leonard, Hearns, Ali)
                  Greatest heart=Pac (not Ali)
                  Greatest counters=Pac
                  Greatest footwork=Pac
                  Greatest running ability=Pac
                  greatest skipping=Pac
                  Greatest accuracy=Pac (someone was recently quite genuine in saying that he has the best accuracy of any fighter today.....I mean, come on!)
                  wanking=Pac

                  etc etc etc.

                  I just don't get why his fans need to pretend he has things that 1) he either doesn't ie. good defence or 2) is not great at in comparison to those that are i.e. boxing. It's not saying he's not good, because everyone knows he is. Why make him out to be something he's not though? It's often as if they want him to be more like Mayweather with some of the ****e you see written about him "Pac has the greatest counters and defense today and his accuracy is the best!", "What? You mean like Mayweather?" "No, he's likes to fight and trade! He's willing to take one or two to get his in!", "So, he's not like Mayweather and fights with offence in mind and doesn't really use defence and counters much?" "Errrrr....he's the greatest!"

                    Funny how Lewis wasn't "old ass" the year previous when he beat up Tyson. Then he was "prime Lennox" and Tyson was "old ass."

                    Vitali has the best chin in heavyweight history. He's never been officially knocked down, much less out. It's not even close.

                      Chuvalo was never knocked down in 93 fights.

                      He fought;

                      Alix2
                      Foreman
                      Frazier
                      Patterson
                      Quarry among others.

                      How is it not even close because Vitali never been knocked down?
