Best Chin in boxing?

[MacManJr.]

Who has the best chin in boxing today? My vote has to go to Baldomir.

[BigReg]

Librado Andrade

[nezy37]

Ding

[Fedor Em]

Librado Andrade

I would have to agree here

[ko factor]

Bernard Hopkins

[ozziebattler]

Evander Holyfield..

[MacManJr.]

Librado AndradeGood one. I forgot about him. Baldy can take some big shots too though. It's a toss up.

[China_hand_Joe]

There is such a thing as a chin that is too good. A chin too strong results in you taking needless damage. At times for the purpose of winning a fight, you'd be better off going down to recover, rather than take more punishment when you are dazed on your feet.

On this basis Joe Calzaghe has the best chin in boxing -

It is perfectly balanced between solidness and weakness. He can take very big shots, but still goes down at advantagous times, which allows him to recover.

[Tom_Tocca]

Oliver McCall

[MagnificentMatt]

Hard to say best, ill go with Baldo and Peter.

[boxbox]

prime morales

[lamont zero]

oliver mccall has the best chin in boxing history. no doubt!

muhammad ali had an iron chin as well, but he visited the canvas.

[MacManJr.]

prime moralesHe definitely ate some killer shots and kept coming!

[boxbox]

He definitely ate some killer shots and kept coming!:good

[Snorkel]

This has come up numerous times and the answer is still Wayne McCullough. Been in with some of the biggest hitters in his division and eaten flush bombs without ever going down.

[Unlimited]

the real deal hollyfield

[sues2nd]

Until Oliver Mccall retires...it will ALWAYS be him.

Others...Andrade, Ding, Hopkins, Peter, etc...

[sues2nd]

Why is McCall's chin the best in history?

Because it is :yep .....go watch some of his old fights, youll see why.

ZAB "SUPER" JUDAH baby!!!!!!!!!!!!I didnt say who has the best crip walk in boxing.

[a.arthur.h]

Currently...there are quite a few that can be put on nearly the same level.

McCall, Andrade both have shown good chins.

Suprised nobody has mentioned Tua yet though..:huh

[jecxbox]

James Lights Out Toney


Fought Samuel Peter Twice And Laughed At The Punches Easily The Best Chin In Boxing

Suprised nobody has mentioned Tua yet though..:huhI forgot about the Tuaman! I would've said Mayorga before the Trinidad fight. Castillo has a pretty good beard too but not the best after the fight with Chico.

You're killing me!!!!! You gotta stop with the comedy!!!! :roflHave you seen Calzaghe - Mitchell? If Calzaghe hadn't of gone down Mitchell could have landed 2 or 3 more BIG shots and really would have hurt Joe. Because Joe chin is so good, he instead went down, didn't take any more hit, recovered and won. James Toney, if he stayed on his feet after that punch from Mitchell, would have taken 4 hooks and would have been seriously hurt.

You aren't only funny, but amazingly stupid. So, he had the smarts to take a knee when he was hurt? That doesn't make his "Chin" good dummy, it just means he did a smart thing to compensate for his lack of "chin" :deal

There simply isn't enough time to.

What Calzaghe has that Toney doesn't, is an instinctive fuse in his chin.

[MacManJr.]

Shane Mosleys chin is very underrated he's never been dropped not even once in his whole career amateur or professional.His chin is good but didnt Vernon drop him once?

[brooklyn1550]

Tua, McCall, Andrade, Baldomir

[a.arthur.h]

Tua, McCall, Andrade, Baldomir
Yeah, I forgot Baldomir. He took some massive shots against Forrest and just kept on moving forward. Like Andrade did vs Kessler.

[Snorkel]

James Lights Out Toney


Fought Samuel Peter Twice And Laughed At The Punches Easily The Best Chin In Boxing

Toney's chin is good, no doubt. However, his defence is such that he rarely eats flush shots in any great number. For me, a good chin is somebody who leads with it and walks through everything that's thrown at them, the aforementioned Wayne McCullough being a good example of this.

[jecxbox]

The reason I picked Toney is cus this guy is a natural 160-168lber...There are not many people in the world who are naturally small and then go up to Heavyweight to take probably the hardest punches in boxing from Samuel Peter and handle them like no problem.

[Jinx]

Until Oliver Mccall retires...it will ALWAYS be him.

:deal

[LFC]

Marion Wilson
Andre Thysse
Ross Puritty
Baldomir
Timo Hoffmann

[hopkinsfan07]

Librado Andrade

good shout


also Mayweather has a great chin though its not always seen becuse of his defence

[Sonny Carson]

I don't think Paul Williams has ever been dropped or badly hurt in a fight. I don't know if he has a granite chin but he has a very good chin.

[huki]

For active fighters, I think it's Oliver McCall. All time P4P, I think it's Hagler. His chin was diamond coated 100% pure titanium.

[Fallow]

Hatton's chin is very good. But I would have to go with McCall, his chin is probably the best in history. The hasn't even been phazed by a punched, let alone wobbled. Toney is another one with awesome punch resistance.

[andyZOR]

Toney

[Bigcat]

Oliver McCall, Mo Wilson, Ray Mercer used tohave a great rep... Chavez did too.. Hopkins..

[markbrooklyn]

Wayne McCullough for sure!

[db2431]

Calzaghe,hatton and Mayweather.

[Pimp C]

Baldo, Tua, Toney, McCall, Hopkins

[Toopretty]

Hatton,,, stop the press. Hatton was knocked out on his feet grabbing Collazo. I repeat Collazo for mercy...Stop the press..

[Toopretty]

Andrade has a crog magnon skull as does margarito both have the same type of primitive neanderthal type dome. They both even look similar. Baldo and Andrade dont even flinch when punched with the hardest shot. Though Judah hurt Baldi admitted by Baldi. What does that say about judahs punch...

[BlueApollo]

Hard to argue with Andrade after the Kessler fight. NASA needs to design heat shielding material out of that chin. I mean the SOB was hardly even marked.

Toney of course. How many former middlweights could walk through flush right hands from Sam Peter? Or Rahman for that matter.

Just for variety, let's throw in Juan Manuel Marquez. If you bring up Pacquiao, ask yourself how many fighters would have made it out of that first round. To me, the ability to get up shows chin also.

[juancho214]

Librado Andrade


no contest

[juancho214]

wat about when clottey rocked margarito

[Asterion]

Oliver McCall is the right answer.

[hellblazer]

Hopkins
Prime Morales
Prime Pacquiao

[sues2nd]

Did he take the shots of a Jake LaMotta? Hagler took as good shots from as big punchers and never once was stopped or dropped(really). Chuvalo took big shots all fight from Foreman and other huge punchers and simply took them, kinda like a bigger LaMotta, but not quite.

I don't see how McCall can clearly be put ahead of any of these, especially LaMotta, who took the most ridiculous clean punches and punishment that would've taken down anyone.

No he didnt take shots from them....BUT!!!

He did take shots from Frank Bruno, Larry Holmes, Lennox Lewis (twice), Tony Tucker, Buster Douglas, etc. AND NEVER EVER TOUCHED THE CANVIS!!! EVER!!! NOT EVEN A FLASH KD!

Go watch his imfamous fight with Lewis where he broke down into tears....he has his hands by his waist, walking around the ring crying and Lewis is just UNLOADING shots CLEAN on him and he is still just walking around like nothing is happening......just a weird, weird fight.

Trust me, the HANDS DOWN best chin in boxing is Oliver Mccall, unless he retires...

:good

[THN]

Librado Andrade

[Fallow]

Hatton,,, stop the press. Hatton was knocked out on his feet grabbing Collazo. I repeat Collazo for mercy...Stop the press..

He was not dropped or stopped by Collazo, so that's a moot point. He walked through the bombs of arguebly the biggest P4P puncher in the business at the time and didn't look remotely bothered. I've seen him eat all kinds of leather during his career without any major drama. The only time he's ever been down in his 43-fight career was against a huge puncher in Magee.

Hatton doesn't have the best chin in boxing, I never said he did, but it is not far off. You have to have a tremendous chin to fight the way he fights.

[noti]

Arthur abraham.

[Half-Dane]

Librado Andrade.

Andrades chin would destroy Calzaghes knuckles if he ever connected them to it. But having a good chin is probably the worst ability to build a career on.

[Fallow]

Arthur abraham.

hehe, he really has steel in his chin now!

[Morrissey]

Who has the best chin in boxing today? My vote has to go to Baldomir.

WHo are the big punchers who have tested his chin?

Just because he has not been KD before means he has a sturdy chin. It is perhaps, because he has not met any heavy punchers in his fights so far.

Zab Judah I know is a heavy puncher, but I am not sure if he was able hit him clean.

[Daruf]

Actually Abraham has titanium in his chin now ... but the guy definitely has a great chin ... you don't fight through a broken jaw for 8 rounds without going down otherwise.

[Carlos Primera]

mccall, mccullogh, andrade, baldomir, toney, tua, i's say mayorga to a degree considering he blocks punches with his face. among retired probably hagler and ali, though ali was dropped by cooper and frazier he never stayed down in his career.

[Smokin'Joe100]

My vote is for McCall, but i can't believe anyone hasn't mentioned Ben Tackie. Never been put down in his career, never been hurt. Arguably the best current p4p chin in boxing.

[Spitfire7]

Dar-CHIN-yan.:lol:

[RDJ]

Dar-CHIN-yan.:lol:

Glasschinniyan?

My vote goes to James Toney.

[koko of phil]

Hopkins.

[Danny Ocean]

baldomir or toney

[ko factor]

George Chuvalo

[ChampionsForever]

Muhammad Ali hands down.

People rate guys like Tua and Mccall over him but thats obserd!!! when have they ever been hit with a hook like this from the hardest left hooker of all time and continue in seconds??

wzZvX5iN7qM

Name one time i dare ya!

[Astola]

Among active fighters it has to be:

Mcall or Librado Andrade...

[Sonny Carson]

For people from the past you can't leave out Sanderline Williams and Reggie Johnson. Both went the distance with Toney. Williams went the distance with McClellen and Toney. Johnson went the distance with everybody he fought including Roy Jones . You just couldn't stop him.

[henrik]

Librado andrade.
Arthur Abraham...never saw anything like that with miranda!!
Micky ward.

[dave82]

have to go with Oliver McCall, Librado Andrade, Micky Ward had a solid jaw, David Tua, Hopkins, Mosley, "Arthur Abraham...never saw anything like that with miranda!!" He suffered a broken jaw in that right?

[dave82]

Fuck i forgot Hagler. Anyone who can trade with Tommy Hearns for 3 rounds and not take a knee deserves mention.

[albaneze]

Nuri Seferi. He got an Iron chin as well.

[JMotrain]

Currently; In Chi, Toney, Peter, Baldy
Past: La Motta, Hagler, Ali, Chuvalo, Foreman

I don't know about chin, but Larry Holmes besides Ali had the fastest recovery time I've ever seen.

[UndisputedUK]

Simply the best....... Chris Eubank.

Fought Benn twice, Calzaghe and Carl Thompson twice.

Thompson had world class power at 200lbs, he hit Eubank flush and Eubank took it.

:good
