Does Hopkins Have The Greatest Chin In Boxing?

[FlatLine]

Who could take flush shots on the chin from Kovalev like Hopkins did? Heavyweight champ Klitschko would have been knocked out if he took those shots. Never been KOd, extremely rarely knocked down. Hopkins may well have the greatest chin in boxing today?

For fighters Over 40 in history, probably unless someone corrects me

Absolutely but that 12th round was hard to watch. I actually think he was ready to go

[SN!PER]

I would put Oliver McCall and Bernard Hopkins in the top p4p chins

lol at the amir khan option

[Beercules]

Khan when not drained got my vote

[HanzGruber]

Bradley has been down a few times already how do you forget floyd

I don't think Hopkins is in contention for greatest chin but it's definitely up there.

James Toney too, of the people that have been tested. Actually Toney's chin is absurd. He's a natural SMW who goes up to heavy and fights top guys with no chin issues. Rarely wobbled, dropped a few times in like 80 fights and very rarely hurt despite fighting way past his prime and way above the weight he should be.

I would say McCall, Toney and Hopkins all have ridiculous chins. Of all these though, I'd be most cautious about Hopkins' chin because it's been tested the least. It's definitely iron but apart from against Kov it's not been hit that much. Who knows it might be the best but there is not enough evidence.

Yeah, these would probably be my picks too.
