Re: Best chins of our era thoughts on the list?
Yeah but Qawi was superhuman in the abuse that guy could absorb...Foreman and a young Holyfield after a svere back and forth bout are the only 2 to stop him
Re: Best chins of our era thoughts on the list?
How about some of these (no particular order) over the past
Marvin Hagler
Julio Cesar Chavez
Muhammad Ali
Dwight Muhammad Qawi
George Foreman
Larry Holmes
Mustapha Hamsho
George Chuvalo
Khosai Galaxy
Jake La Motta
Rocky Marciano
Carlos Monzon
Kid Gavilan
That's enough concrete there to build a dam!

Yeah that is an all time list there LaMotta was never off his feet in his prime was he? I know that Robingson was never able to put him flat (If memory serves me right anyhow)...And Ray gave Jake a few beatings...Chuvalo I always thought of as an iron chin I mean the guy fought the shit out of the best hwts in the greatest era of HW boxing.....I could go on all night about those guys mentioned
Re: Best chins of our era thoughts on the list?
Arturo Gatti
Micky Ward
Miguel Cotto
Manny Paquiao
Diego Coralles
Luis Castillo
and my ultimate pick for this list
Billy Collins Jr (RIP), who stayed up on his feet for nine rounds against an opponent with plastered gloves.

I'll put Gatti in the best/most heart category. Not in best chins. Hurting Gatti was not exactly that hard. Wilson Rodriguez damn near stopped him. He was not a big hitter. Nor was Calvin Grove who shook him pretty good
Re: Best chins of our era thoughts on the list?
Thomas Tate and Glenn Wolfe should get mention, Wolfe especially.
Tate known for taking some of Julian Jackson's best shots, but then getting knocked out by Roy Jones Jr in easy fashion, that aside Tate had a pretty good chin. And Glenn Wolfe had a great toughness and iron chin, it is a shame that his career was ended when Roy Jones left hook to his body permanently damaged his liver retiring him, but that is a testament to how hard he hit at that weight. But regardless those two should be honorable mentions.

Yes I remember Glenn "Big Bad" Wolfe. He did have a good chin
Re: Best chins of our era thoughts on the list?
Marque Sosa (spelling) had a war with Williams but got stopped by Roy Jones seemed to be very durable.

Damn. Good call. He could take freakish punishment.
Vince Phillips ? Aside from Millet it was bs cut stoppages. Don't think Quartey got him off his feet after 3 insane rounds.
