Sorry, but I think you really are saying that because Frazier just died. It's akin to saying Roy Jones would've never been hurt by Oscar Larios so he has a better chin than Wayne McCullough. For that matter I don't think any little men can really be in the discussion for best chins because people that size generate exponentailly less power than big men, while still having basically the same mechanism to absorb punches. Toney wasn't hurt by Roy Jones either, that KD was entirely balance and chin doesn't even really come into play imo. For James Toney to have taken the punches that he did at HW clearly puts him amongst the toughest men to ever box at a high level imo.

Chavez, Mike Tyson, Oliver McCall all had great chins as well.

I would not put Iron Mike in a list of all time great chins. McCall, Chavez yes...I would also add B-Hop in there too, I don't even think I've even seen B-Hop hurt, never mind knocked down or KO-ed.

this forum doesnt know me 2 b rude but to answer this op question : FUCK NO!
NOT A GOOD QUESTION, SORRY.

I love Hopkins, but did you miss the first Pascal fight where he was dropped twice ?

Or the Segundo Mercado fight where he was dropped ?

Or the Antwun Echols fight where he was cheap shotted and dropped ?

Hagler
