    Tim Bradley? He got hurt and rocked by Provodnikov and Jessie Vargas. Mayweather I've seen hurt and rocked by Corley and Mosley.


    I also vote for David Tua in the chin department

    Oliver McCall too, I like James Toney as well.

        He got hurt but he finished on his feet. Those shots he took from Provodonikov would've ended most fighters. Maybe I should say he has a great heart.

          Evander had a great chin. George Chuvalo maybe all time. Tex Cobb. Ali had sum good whiskers. Big George during his comeback. It almost hard to believe Ali dropped him so bad with that one punch. Foreman said the hardest punch he ever got hit with was the punch that Ali never threw when he was going down. It's true. Ali coulda clocked him several more times, but he didn't bother. Stud.

            At middleweight? I don't anybody currently has or ever has. One might be able to make a justifiable case for Marvin Hagler's punch resistance being in the same league as Golovkin's. However, I don't think anybody has had better punch resistance at 160 pounds than Gennady Golovkin. It's not just his raw punch resistance, but his extreme sturdiness and balance. He has one of the best balance I've ever seen from any boxer. He is rarely ever off balanced or out of position.

              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.
              In Floyd's defense Corley landed HUGE shots on him and he recovered quick.

                I know. I'm just saying he did get hurt and rocked by Corley and Mosley and he did recover quickly in both fights. Floyd's defense and skills were superb that he rarely if ever took punches to the chin.

                Just saying if we are comparing just chins then he wouldn't compare to guys like David Tua, Oliver McCall, Golovkin and Kamegai. Those dudes take way more shots on the chin. I've never seen any of them hurt or rocked.
