There are lots equally good or better, like LaMotta, for instance, David Tua, Sugar Ray Robinson Jim Jeffries, Benny Leonard, Barney Ross, Maxie Rosenbloom, Young Stribling, Battling Nelson, Sam Langford etc. and many more, all with enormous numbers of fights. But for certain, Joe Grim has to be #1.

I can't pick Margo. The awful beating he took by Shane just...I can't pick him lol. Pac too. Hard to be in the discussion when you've been wtf KOd. Shane is up there. Seriously, I almost WISH someone would KO him instead of watching him get his ass kicked lol.

Can't pick Vitali either.

Toney is up there though.

These are all just recently. Too many past fighters with amazing chins that just got weakened over wars.


Some people's definition of "chin" differs though. Some get knocked down, but they recover quickly and aren't put into too much trouble after surviving the scare. JMM comes to mind as a guy who sometimes seems chinny and knocked down by certain things...and other times just eats bombs like nothing.

Vitali....hell no. You have to fight people that can hurt you to know if you have a good chin. Replace him with Lamottta

it's funny there was just a conversation, who hits harder w/ right hand, and Lewis takes 2nd palce after Foreman. when they fought Vitali took quiet a few punches and was he even shook? or was he ever dropped before?

keep ****ing hating

[Oh you out son]

ya i was trying to list more recent fighters in mine. but lots of good lists I could agree with any of them really. except froch has been dropped and he can be, you will see against bute. he has a durable chin but hes susceptible to an accurate punch he doesn't see coming.

margarito man, the guy has been pummeled in all his fights lol, even when he used to win he would get ****ed up too against anyone good. taken so many beatings yet still takes power shots and keeps coming. against shane i think mentally he was ****ed after the handwrap scandal and he wasn't his normal psycho self and actually got ko'd
