    Peter has my vote. He took the best shots that Wlad can dish out and he just keeps standing up, any lesser fighter could have been unconcious and brought out in a stretcher.

        ok i will get eaten up for this but i think kali meehan has a good chin

        look at the shots he took from brewster and then dished out in return

        moreover, look at the shots he took from rahman

        admittedly i've only seen him in a handful of fights but he still took alot of punishment
        meehan was taken out by one punch in the 1st round by danny williams and rahman's power is overrated based on the lewis fight. meehan no way

          I have noticed that VALUEV is on the list.

          Has he met any competition that cracked and tested his chin?

            When you think about it, having a granite chin is not all that great as far as life span and health goes.

            Some fighters use their chins as defence and get hit big, now getting rocked all your career with those bombs for 12 rounds cant be good for your head

              You'd think a guy with a head that big has some pretty thick bones, so I'd say he prolly can take a punch.

                toney showed a pretty impressive chin in the holyfield fight, he took a fair amount of clean powerful left hooks by holyfield, and he basically laughed at them... though they might not have been holyfield's best because of his shoulder. Btw in which fight did briggs show the bad chin? Hes been knocked down but hes never out of it, he'll always be able to beat the count, unless he takes a rediculously powerful shot. He did go 12 rounds with foreman, and he took some nice punches.

                  Rahman power is overrated He's the only man to had Tua in trouble in the second fight, Tua went down after the bell. 1 punch KO of Lewis, which a guy like Vitali couldn't even put Lewis down with 10 straight punches.
