Which five guys have the best chins in boxing ?

1) Vitali Klitschko
2) Carl Froch
3) Shane Mosley
4) Manny Pacquiao
5) Antonio Margarito

Honorable mentions: Tomasz Adamek, Glen Johnson, Joshua Clottey, Arthur Abraham.

1) Manny Pacquiao
2) Shane Mosley
3) Glen Johnson
4) Carl Froch
5) Tomasz Adamek
6) Antonio Margarito
7) Vitali Klitschko

Why did a rate Klitschko so low? Because he has only been realy chin checked a few times. Mainly in the Lewis fight. The rest on the list have been chin checked by hard punchers repeatidly, and have stood up.

I think Vitali chin is overrated in that regard. It's never realy been tested that much.

Vitali's size advantage crossed my mind but the fact he's never been knocked down in his whole combat career is impressive, remember he's also competed in K1.

How Vitali withstood that uppercut from Lennox is beyond me, that punch would've knocked out an elephant cold.

That's true. But I rate other guys higher because been tested thoroughly.

Pac has got one best chins. It seems his weak spot is the body.

Sucks to see your old hero Tua not on the list, for years his chin was rock solid but now he's being knocked down by a shot Monte Barret.

What happens when you fight past your prime. I guess he's broke and why he's fighting.

This is why I will not be shocked if Pac knocks ancient Mosley out in the Joke Fight.

Other considerations:

Malignaggi has an excellent chin. Soaked up punishment from Cotto, Hatton, Khan.

Librado Andrade.

tua and margo for sure..there in a position though where age and wars will take there toll.add mosley but for the same reasons.there in the top five based on there career.vitali dont belong.yes getting hit a few times by lennox isnt a test .its a short quiz.theres merit for paulie m to be there.

Good add, Malignaggi might look like a fruit but his chin is made of granite.

Librado Andrade for sure. AA took some huge shots from Edison Miranda and kept coming.

Shannon Briggs deserves some kind of special mention, just because he absorbed one of the worst beatings I've ever seen with out going down.

Adamek
Pac
JMM
Paulie
Margarito

im maybe one of the few here that dont think adamek has a top chin..

Why not? Since moving up from lightheavy he hasn't been down.

Co-sign Briggs....how he stayed on his feet against Vitali, I'll never know.

1) Margo
2) Manny
3) Sugar Shane
4) Froch
5) Chino Maidana

he is broke, The New Zealand taxman has taken it all. this is what happens when you don't pay your taxes, from what i understand Tua hasn't actually made money of his recent fights because it has all gone to the taxman to pay the huge debt he owes which goes into 7 figures i think
