    James Toney.

    His chin was unbelievable. We're talking a natural SMW who got really fat and was taking HW bombs. His chin is up there with any fighter of any era.

          Floyd Mayweather has an underrated chin. He took 2 big shots from Shane that made margarita crumble.

            Because Floyd doesn't have a great chin, just a great defense. Moving on

              Brandon Rios also has one hell of a chin.

              Plus, it looks like he actually enjoys being hit.

                Yep Brandon Rios most definitely
                I think a lot of people are overlooking Glen Johnson I remember Foch said it was like hitting a tree trunk

                    I voted Froch cos he has been hit consistently by harder hitting guys than Hopkins, mainly cos Hops always has that defensive advantage but there is no doubt Hopkins showed an amazing chin, at 49, against Kovalev.

                      Margarito also took those 2 bombs about 200 times before he fell. I doubt Floyd Mayweather would be able to do that.
