              I doubt Margarito would have taken the kind of punches Mosley did against Oscar.

                  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)
                  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.

                    Margarito
                    Top 2 off my head.

                      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.
