    Who has a better chin than Golovkin?

    Is there any fighters that you can think of that have a better chin than him or just as good? It seems any type of punch you throw at him it doesn't affect him at all & he just keeps coming at you. I guarantee even Canelo was likely scared at points in the fight when any punch he threw wouldn't affect him at all or much.

    Current fighters or are you including former fighters? Former fighters I'd have to say Floyd and Toney. Especially Toney to come all the way from MW to HW and never get stopped.

      Yeah, Toney & Floyd have really good ones. Also I'd say Danny Garcia. Matthysse threw some huge bombs at him & he wasn't even close to getting knocked down. I remember he had his mouthpiece knocked out of his mouth & it flew out of the ring & Garcia wasn't really even hurt by it much.

        He has a pretty good chin. I was more impressed with his body and stamina though. Canelo really went after his body early and gave up on it. GGG just kept coming till the end.

        GGG may not be the most athletic, but you can tell he really trains his ass off. He has elite stamina and recuperation. Almost Floyd like.

          He has most likely the best chin in boxing today but former fighters you'd have to go with someone like Oliver McCall. It was IMPOSSIBLE to hurt him.

            Another fighter with a hell of a chin was Oscar De La Hoya. Besides his boxing talent he was gifted with a granite chin. Even prime Manny couldn't KO that drained son of a *****.

              Floyd? Floyd has a good chin but I wouldn't compare it. I saw Floyd get hurt by Chop Chop Corley and Mosley. And Floyd's skill set didn't allow him to get hit much, so I wouldn't compare him.

              One fighter that comes to mind, though his skill set is low and subpar is Yoshihiro Kamegai.

              The guy takes way too many punches, but he takes them and runs back in his opponents face constantly to try and fight toe to toe.

              The dude has a steel jaw.

                  GGG was gifted with that slavic toughness and iron chin thanks to his superior russian genes

                  He´s like the Vitali Klistchko of this generation

                    Yea Garcia has a great chin. Tim Bradley and Shane Mosley too.
