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

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.
