    But that's more due to his defense than his chin.

    Best chin ever goes to George Chuvalo, IMO. Fought Ali twice, Foreman, Frazier, Patterson, etc. and never went down in 93 pro heavyweight fights! He's been stopped by the ref a couple times, but never went down. That's something considering he wasn't a defensive master like Floyd is.

      But the fact is, Floyd has been taking flush shots for 18 years and when nailed hard, he didn't go down ONCE.

        But like I just said, you don't go EIGHTEEN years in the pro game without being hit with TONS of flush shots and Floyd has, and he has never received a count.

          I can't remember Hopkins being hurt in his prime. Not that I'm an expert on his career but his chin was rock solid. Pac's was, too, it's close between them prime for prime.

          Mayweather's chin is good, but not on that level.

            I'd go Pacquaio, Hopkins, Floyd.

            Hard to seperate the top 2 because they both have/had extremely good chins.

            Floyd's got a good chin for sure but I don't think it's at their level. He's rarely been hurt but he's not been hit as much as those two have over their careers.

                We know Floyd can take a punch, it's not a concern against Manny.

                      If Floyd needs to go to war he will go to war. He's proven that in the Castillo and Maidana fights.
