I was going to mention Oscar. You beat me to it. Trinidad,Mosley, Mayorga,Pacquiao and Vargas all connected solid on him and he was never close to being stopped. Hopkins got him on a body shot and in the Pacquiao fight he just quit because Pac was too fast for him.When I read the title, I thought about Shane Mosley.
Oscar De La Hoya is up there.
Vitali Klitschko, Froch(Taylor, Groves knock downs aside), Kessler, Jean Pascal, Glen Johnson.
New bloods:
Danny Garcia
Lucas Matthysse
Timothy Bradley
Ruslan Provodnikov
Brandon Rios
Marcos Maidana
Canelo Alvarez
Devon Alexander
Paulie Malignaggi(Porter destruction doesn't erase his reputation of a good chin IMO)
Antonio Margacheater
Josesito Lopez
Never tested consistently enough to know if they have a strong or weak chin:
Hopkins
Mayweather
Ward
Mikey Garcia(Rocky KD was not enough to judge his chin) Donaire
Rigondeaux(Was never that hurt in either KD's)Comment

I see a lot of people picking Margarito and while there is no question that he has an A-class chin, I'm hesitant to declare him the best of the era when you have guys like James Toney who showed an A-class chin from 160 to heavyweight and was barely hurt. Margarito withstood excellent shots but I couldn't see him being successful at that even at 154. Mosley stopped him, Daniel Santos rocked him pretty bad and Danny Perez put him on his ass. I don't mean to discredit him at all as he's in my top five but I'm hesitant to place him at #1.Comment
