FACT.
So they were all aliens, but suddenly the aliens departed leaving us with only mortal chins like Wach, Stiverne, Povetkin, Pulev and Vitali and Peter etc. Ok, sure. THAT'S a sensible opinion

Muhammad Ali was knocked down by a 180lber among many other featherfists and the fight had to be stopped against Holmes to save his ass.

Holmes was knocked down sometimes and catastrophically KOed against Tyson.

Tyson was KO'ed several times, including once by a cruiser featherfist and once by a bummy featherfist (bless his big heart).

Foreman was KOed, dropped and wobbled by 3 featherfists respectively (Ali, Young and Moorer).

Now I KNOW these guys are hard chinned. Nobody is claiming they were glass jaws. But I fail to see how they can be claimed to be harder than these...

Marius Wach- Never knocked down ever in any boxing match. After the WK fight he earned the nickname "hardest chin on the planet"

Ross Puritty- Another candidate for "hardest chin on Earth", faced a who's who list of superheavyweight punchers in an extensive career and lost a tonne of his fights but was never stopped bar or even dropped barring one occasion where he was dropped and waved out on his feet in his 2nd fight.

Alexander Povetkin- Never been dropped let alone stopped in 300 fights pro+ammy combined until Wlad dropped him but didn't stop him.

Marion Wilson- Possibly the hardest chin that has and will ever exist for a long time to come, LOST almost ALL of his fights! And was never knocked down or out. Suffering a single stoppage on cuts alone.

Vitali Klitschko- Never knocked off his feet ever in any boxing match.

Oliver McCall- Only 1 technical KO in over 70 fights!

Evander Holyfield- Only 2 stoppages in 50 odd fights

These guys fought in eras of "Superheavyweight punchers" exclusively.

Ali fought his entire career in the cruiser featherfist era and Foreman and Holmes fought half their careers in it. Tyson did not display the same chin as the above guys.

Chin is relative to your own weight/build and the weight of your competition, obviously!
