  • What are the best heavyweight chins out there right now?

    Yeah, the thread's as trivial as Hell and it's another heavyweight one again, but this is come to mind because I've seen a couple of solid heavyweight chins that have seriously impressed me:

    1. Sam Peter. We all know Wlad was keeping something back, but this guy was being whacked all night long for 12 (okay, 11) rounds and only looked like going down once. And that was when the fat bloater was knackered. Solid chops.

    2. Sinan Samil Sam. I've seen this guy four or five times now, and he showed it against Maskaev (the same Maskaev who put Rahman through the ropes and reportedly KOd Vitali in one during the amateurs) the other night. The look of disheartenment on Oleg's face as he slams punch after punch in this guy's mush... only for him to scarcely blink and keep walking.


    Obviously a s****** at Wlad will come into the thread before long, but also mentions out for: Brewster, Vitali (come back!), Danny Williams, Chris Byrd, Matt Skelton (so far) and, of course, the inimitable James Toney.

    Biggest question mark: Audley Harrison. In his defence, I've yet to see the guy take a solid shot. We'll find out one way or the other on December 10th I guess, though people point to his body language as a sign that he hasn't got the best whiskers in the world. We'll see.

      Not that it matters really, but David Tua easily has the best heavyweight chin I've ever seen. Dude took solid shots from Ibeabuchi for 12 rounds!!!!!

        Yeah, he's got the chops. I was going to bring him and Holyfield into it (still think Tyson's got a good chin as well, he can take some serious shots) but they're all "done", ain't they?

            Yeah pretty much. I've just been watching Tua fights lately and it came to mind.

                  SSS has a damn solid chin, even if he has nothing else.
                  peter's fight with wlad has shown that peter can take more than just a punch, he can take MANY punches.
                  vitali's chin was pretty good.
                  brewster's is noteworthy, but not the greatest.
                  as much as i hate them, byrd and ruiz have pretty decent whiskers.
                  toney has shown that he can take a good shot.
                  nicolay valuev has shown that his chin is noteworthy (if nothing else is, apart from his size).
                  tua's chin has been forgotten, but its still as strong as ever.

                  all the other chins are either unnoteworthy, weak, or unproven.
