    George Chuvalo by far.

    Look at the monsters he fought and never went down.

    George Foreman, Jake Lamotta, and "The Atomic Bull" Oliver McCall was prime Mike Tyson's sparring partner, and from what I heard was never knocked down.

    Marvin Hagler's another guy I never even say hurt, even against Hearns, Mugabi, and Duran

    Don't forget about Ali. He fought Foreman, Liston, Shavers, Holmes, and a ton of killers & it took the most hellacious left hook I've ever seen from Joe Frazier to knock him down & he got right back up.

      Hit against Mosley, Corley, Maidana, Pacman, Judah, Cotto, DLH, Canelo, and a few others...never seriously in trouble.

      His defense greatly reduces the amount of times hes been hit, but its boxing and you still get hit in boxing. Floyd is no different. And when Floyd was hit he always held up well from 130, 135, 140, 147, and 154

        Lamotta and Vitali are the first two that come to mind.

          Prime Leonard took flush shots from Hearns, Duran, Hagler, and many others.

          Sal Sanchez was hit flush by 3 ATG fighters known for their power and held up.

          Arguello in his prime took the punches of serious punchers and held up before he went one weight class too high.

            but the GOAT is Oliver McCall.
            Yep Oliver McCall is the GOAT when it comes to chins for me also, James Toney would be high up there too. Librado Andrade had a monster of a chin for most of his career too.....

              McCall and Vitali were my first thoughts. Ruiz looks to have about the best chin today.

                      James Toney and Antonio Margarito are best I’ve ever seen.
