I was really impressed with the way Antonio Margarito just walked through Cintrons best shots in their rematch without so much as blinking. I personally think he has one of the best chins in world boxing. Who do you guys think has the best chin in world boxing right now?

McCall has the chin all other heavys wish they had. Like I said on another post, put him in with David Haye and watch Haye crap his pants when everything he throws at the guy has no effect.

Yes, I always forget about Woods. That man has a hard head for sure, with all the threads about chins on this board I would have expected to hear his name more.
Personally though I think Chris Byrd has the hardest chin in boxing. I cannot believe the shot he took from Ibeabuchi, I think it would have literally killed me. And the one's from Klitschko and he still wants more, I hope that crazy man does well at LHW.

Mccall definately,He's getting older though now.Might not be able to take it as good real soon..I remember thinking Ray mercer was gonna soak up every klitchko punch..Chris Byrds chins gonna be even better at lightheavy..
Byrd definitely has a sturdy chin.

Oliver McCall,, his chin is the best in boxing history IMO. Tyson's main sparring partner..never down, sparring partner for frank bruno...never down. Fought some beasts in his time and never shaken,stirred,wobbled, or dazed

Librado Andrade
He intends to walk through punches beforehand. Didn't do so much as blink when blasted with five/six punch combinations from Mikkel Kessler.

Andrade and Margarito.
I still cant get over that one round in the Cintron 2 fight where he got caught with a flush uppercut and i think 2-3 right flush hooks on the jaw. Legs never wobbled or wasnt even momentarily stunned just kept walking and throwing.

The best chin today though for me is Margarito, you see, over time there have been very good chins like Tyson, Oscar, Tunney, guys with good and great chins like Hagler and Morales aswell. But then there are/have been fighters who have chins that are the cream of the crop, this is where Lamotta and Wayne McCullough roam, this is their domain! Lamotta in rounds 11 and 12 of the 6th Robinson fight!!! The ounches he takes are unbelievable.
Anyway , i think Margarito has an absolute chin of iron, he hardly has a defense to speak of and he never comes close to goin' over!
Chavez didnt half have a good chin aswell

A few people already mentioned my answer. Technically Oliver McCall is still active so it's gotta be him and until he retires it will remain him. I have never even seen him close to being hurt. Andrade took the kitchen sink against Kessler so he's gotta get some mention here. It's not like Kessler was hitting him with pitty pat punches either. They were landing flush on Andrade's jaw and he was taking them and continuing to walk into the assault. Ridiculous.

Yer, McCall's still around so its probably hm. The reason i use the word 'probably' is because of Marg though. Marg's chin is iron, you must agree? Also, is McCullough still active?? If he is, he challenges McCall imo.

Oh absolutely, Margarito's chin is made of steel. McCullough is another guy who can take it. I was practically begging the cornermen through the TV to stop the second Larios fight cuz he was taking way too many big shots.

B-Hop takes a great shot, if you can catch him clean, but overall I would have to go along with Margarito; he's like Vlad Klitschko's reverse-twin.
Also what about Jorge Barrios, if you take away that punch from Freitas, which would have killed an elephant.
