Toney, Hopkins, Mosley, Holyfield still has a solid chin after all these years amazingly....Agbeko deserves a mention, Darchy nailed him with some big lefts and Agbeko wasnt fazed
Tomasz Adamek
Librado Andrade
Gerry Penalosa
Glen Johnson
Shane Mosley
Carl Froch and Vitali Klitschko could easily be in there as well.
Then you have guys like Israel Vazquez, Miguel Cotto and Juan Manuel Marquez who can be hurt but have an awesome ability to recuperate. They don't have iron chins but they are damn good.
the likes of AA and clottey are very strong and durable but they don't get tagged too often because of they're guard.
hopkins, mayweather and toney can also take a punch but its due to their defence skills that they don't get tagged too often.
pavlik deffo has a good chin in the fight with bernard he was walking punch bag but stayed in there for 12 rounds. bernard walked into the fight outweighing his opponent by several lbs (i think he ws a CW come fight night) but he still couldn't KO him.
the likes of roch and andrade have shown to have great chins their chins make up for their lack of defence and reflexes.
SSM and cotto don't have the same style as froch or andarde but cotto has taken flush shots from margarito, clottey and SSM at 147 and not once did his legs go. SSM has taken shots from DLH, cotto, wright and vargas often in higher weight classes but still stood firm.
hopkins came in weighing 180 and pavlik came in weighing 174..not much difference
