    Plus he mixed it with some huge punchers
    Bonavena had him stumbled and sitting on a rope and some say pure slip. Chin is still pure granite considering what he's dealt with in later life!

    Always have to put top for me Juan Laporte. Far as I know never dropped and only stoppage was between rounds at very end. Face serious leather from Azumah Nelson, Sanchez, Tszyu, Pedroza, Chavez, Gomez among others and never budged.

    Toney I don't know. Was rocked and dropped at middle, cruiser and Fat Peter dropped him with a jab. To me his mastery was his defense and doesn't fit to site his chin. Sturdy but didn't need to wear it all the time. Then again he went in with serious heavies also and that pack of hotdogs serving as a neck certainly strengthened it.

    Marion Wilson absolutely. Maybe a Ross Purity. McCall is standard fair on these lists. Dominick Quinn had titanium teeth. Ben Tackies up there. Of course not greats but hell . Did LaMotta make it?

    Golovkin is the current beard king, as in we've never seen him briefly wobbled let alone down or drunk.

    Sure that guy (article writer) used to write for this site, way back in the day?

    Marion Wilson (what's the betting he read that on here back in the day? Britkid?) was docked points for holding in every other fight, the ultimate spoiler. These days I think expert survivors/journeymen shouldn't count nor expert defence minded fighters like Toney and Hopkins.

    I also agree the quickness of recovery from getting knocked down/briefly buzzed indicates a granite beard. The right hand's Froch took from Groves after momentarily being put to sleep was beyond normal.

    McCall will always be my no.1 (along with Wayne McCullough), that funker let Lennox blast him flush in the mush with right hands and NOTHING happened. Nothing. Not even a recognition of the clump.

    Maybe it’s just me but it seemed like Canelo somewhat bothered him with some of his shots. He has a solid beard either way though.
