Muhammad Ali can boast about taking a LOT of punches. I dunno about taking many really hard punches though.

Clay was basically wasted by a 185lb bum. I don't think he deserves to be rated among the hardest of hard chins.

He did however have a good beard. e took a lot of punches and a couple of hard ones too.

bbbb.....bbbbb....bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb.....wwaaaahaha hahahahaaaaaaa!!!!

David tua had a hard chin from what i remember. Also throw in ibeabuchi and sam peter as well.

I thought I remembered the fight didn't go long enough for George to gas and I thought it was a 1 sided beating.

Not saying you are incorrect though, I will have to watch it again after this movie now and get back.

It was only a few rounds in but George was throwing a ton of punches, it could have been the Rope a Dope years before!

Top 5 I'd have to go Chuvalo, McCall, Ray Mercer, Tex Cobb, and David Tua.

But the best chin I've ever seen, the most punishment I've ever seen a guy take and not get KO'd, wasn't in boxing, it was MMA.

I forgot about Ray Mercer!

One tough mofo.

I think there are 2 classes of iron chins.

There are the WINNER+TOUGH guys with chins of iron like Marius Wach for example,

But then there is an even harder class of chin I believe, the ones often overlooked,

This is the LOSER+TOUGH guys.

These are the ones like Puritty and Wilson, who lose more fights than they win, get pasted in every fight from the first round to the last and barely ever get dropped/stopped against a who's who of HW elite for very extensive careers.

I fell these guys have to trump the winner tough guys because they are really little more than concrete punching bags.

Chuvalo talks about the Foreman fight at about 3 minutes in... Foreman admitted to him that he was gassed out after throwing all those punches haha.
