Which five guys have the best chins in boxing ?

Ali wrote: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.

That's a pretty good list right there. The only guy I'd add is Daisuke Naito. EVERYONE hits him and nobody stops him.

Best chin I can think of:
Yun Un Chin...27-1 (never been KO'd)

would abraham belong on this list??? i mean the guy looked like popeye in his fight against miranda in round 5 and continued to fight winning a decision.

Maidana ?? he's tough but was dropped more than once by Ortiz.

I know, I just think hes the man. Besides he wasn't even hurt by those knockdowns.

i agree, i think Maidana is a beast. Froch got put down hard by Jermain Taylor by the sort of punch that normally puts a guy to sleep for the 10. It's not just about your initial punch resistance, it's all about the powers of recovery. guys with solid legs generally can hold a punch better, i don't know why this is but it seems to be a fact. i've had my jaw broken and continued fighting before much like Abraham did against Miranda but then i've been completely knocked sparko by an accumulation of punches near the top of my head (and getting bottled before them probably didn't help!) Marble has touched on the powers of recovery before and i think he is absolutely 100% right, being Durable and having a good beard are 2 different propositions. Everybody can get put down, it's how you react afterwards that is the measure of a man.... ask Joe Calzaghe how that one works. he was a guy that got put down numerous times by different guys but do you notice how he never got knocked down twice in a fight, powers of recovery!!!

I'd put Agbeko in there somewhere.

Caballero has a great chin. Everyone else I can think of already got touched on.

dare I say Paul Williams? lol

Actually he was hurt badly by Ortiz right before the bell rang.
