Alright then @brocktonblockbust you smartass, since I've listed glass jaws, why don't you be so kind as to tell me which boxers have the hardest chins?Quote:

Ya smarmy bastard ;D
:doggy:
George Chuvalo! Never knocked off his feet in nearly 100 fights, fought Floyd Patterson, Muhammad Ali 2x, Oscar Bonavena, Joe Frazier, Jerry Quarry, Cleveland Williams, and of course GEORGE FOREMAN, and was never dropped. Best chin ever, that's some real shit!
Yeah I agree Chuvalo had a really hard chin. I don't know if it rates with later ones but it was certainly unbreakable for the day. I think he would have to have eventually dropped if the Foreman fight was allowed to continue but we don't know that for sure.Quote:

I think Chuvalo would have knocked him the fuck out if the ref didn't stop it because Foreman was gassing hard and running out of steam, Chuvalo said he could hear George huffing and puffing hard and was going to wait it out.Quote:

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.
Muhammad Ali
James Toney
Oliver McCall
George Foreman
Muhammad Ali can boast about taking a LOT of punches. I dunno about taking many really hard punches though.Quote:

He did however have a good beard. e took a lot of punches and a couple of hard ones too.
Marciano had a great chin. Vitali , Bowe, Holyfield , Foreman, Ali, Chuvalo,
Shocked nobody has said...
Vitali Klitschko
He laughs at many of the chins that have been mentioned. Chuvalo was a great call, Holmes, Tua.
after the first round against Jack Dempsey, Jess Willard had his cheekbone caved in, jaw shattered, nose broken, three ribs broken and one eye closed.
He still came out for the second round ...... That was one tough guy.
bbbb.....bbbbb....bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb.....wwaaaahaha hahahahaaaaaaa!!!! :LOS:Quote:

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

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!Quote:

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.
