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 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.
