Top 5 Greatest Chins in Boxing

[MRBOOMER]

man did you see the upper cut he took from Lennox Lewis? that would have KO'd almost any heavyweight i guarantee that. he took several bombs in that fight actually and walked through them. he has never been knocked down in his career. i think it has been tested.

You can't put him in there from just one fight tho I mean there's fighters where people have crap chins and take shots all night from just the will to win. Look at Lewis his chin wasn't great but he stood up to the bombs vitali landed also does that mean he has a great chin? No vitali's chin hasn't been tested once really in any recent fight where he was taking bombs and proved his chin..so idt that counts but your opioion is your own.

In over 250 fights Greb was only stopped twice. One time near the beginning of his career, he was TKO'd in round 2 after breaking the radius of his left arm.

"When the gong sounded ending the round, Greb's left arm fell limp at his side..His face, screwed up, bore testimony to the pain he was suffering." He had broken the radius of his left arm and fought a full round in that condition. The next day, Greb's arm was splinted and he was showing the X-ray of the break around. The radius was completely fractured, "and the jagged ends were overlapping."

The other time was his 7th fight against a man named Joe Chip, who at this point was a little too experienced for Greb. Joe Chip weighed in at 156 while Greb only 142.

"Greb has no excuses to offer, except that he met a better man and hereafter says he will not go out of his class and meet a man who weighed 156 pounds in the afternoon, while Greb only scaled 142."


As for Marcinao I agree, I don't think his chin deserves a top 5 mention he never fought many who hit that hard for a Heavyweight at the top level. He was also floored numerous times from people who didn't weigh a great deal more than him.
