    Tua should be on the list too, I thought he'd be mentioned more. Tua and Vitali have iron chins.

      Agbeko has a good beard, if he fights Donaire we might find out just how good it is

        etc etc etc

        They all have good chins to be fair.

        Who has eaten the most punches from EQUAL or better competition? Possibly Margarito?
        But then Mosley did stop him....

        tough call.

        I would vote Vitali as I love him, but if he had faced 5 or 6 Lennox Lewis type guys I would vote him.
        Sanders rocked Vitali while Vitali took lots of other flush shots from both Sander and Lewis.
        Taylor dropped Froch and Dirrell stunned him
        Margarito got KTFO

        Of those listed it's got to be Vitali.
        Great call. Kessler's right up there, ahead of Froch or Marg in my opinion.

        Kotelnyk is a good mention too, he's the only guy i can think of who has gone 12 rds with Maidana, took plenty of flush shots and was never even remotely hurt. Same with the Khan fight too actually.

          He did get dropped by Barret a year ago or so but i'd overlook that and agree with you.

                  Currently I'm unsure, Agbeko has a very nice chin.

                  For the people arguing about Vitali and Chuvalo on who has the greatest chin, I'll see you both and raise one Oliver McCall

                      Vitali has the best chin in heavyweight history. He's never been officially knocked down, much less out. It's not even close.
                      Off point, but while I was in the UK last year, I met a guy called Pele Reid who claimed he had knocked out Vitali in a kickboxing bout. He had plenty of evidence to back up his claim of being a top level kickboxer, but I couldn't find anything about him KO'ing Big Vit. Does anyone have any footage or an article confirming it?
