Fighters Who Wern't World Class But Had Great Chins.

Eubank was world class, come on!

I'd say Karl the Kat Thompson had a ridiculously good chin and recovery ability. Although he was world champion I wouldn't quite call him world class.

I don't know if he had a good chin he was knocked down a lot of times in his career, but he certainly did show good chin against Haye.

Oscar Bonavena had a damn good chin.

David Tua has an absolutley monstrous chin i seen him take some killer shots to the jaw and just simply shake them off . He's never been ko'd i dont think hes ever been floored either.

Ike Ibeabuchi set a world record beating muhammed ali old 1 for most punches thrown in a heavy weight match and ike was a absolute savage and Tua holded it down even though he lost.

watch it

ike Ibeabuchi vs david tua

Chuvallo?????
Tua....
Baldomir...

I wish I could Rep. you but the damn! system says I gotta spread some Rep. 1st... :mad:
Anyway I completely agree with you on World Class because it can be very subjective...

I've already seen a lot of names that I would consider World Class.

I agree, Eubank was world class! He had like 20 odd world title fights and fought good opponents.

Gatti seemed to have a decent chin, especially when he took that beating from floyd

Trust me he had a good chin, take a look at the 2nd fight against Eubank where Eubank hit the most picture perfect counter left uppercut i've ever seen underneath Karl's jab and he just shook it off.
I know that was at Cruiser but the punch was so perfect it nearly took his head clean off. He just walked straight through it. With him it was a combo of really good recovery ability and chin. He could recover really quickly after being hurt

I want to list some guy's and then find myself making a case in the "World class" department.....with the exception of perinial journeymen who take a solid beating ?Every fighter has at least one good day/upset

Ray Olivera ??
