Chris Byrd....sounds fruity but he got up from one of the most violent shots ever!

Riddick Bowe?

Took the words out of my mouth, I'd put Tsuyu and Hatton up there as well, not because Hatton has the most incradible chin or anything, but everyone in the world thought a "glass chin" would be the problem agianst Tsuyu and Hatton took a few of Tsuyu's best punches whilst seeming unphased.

Lennox Lewis. Getting knocked out by McCall and Rahman is nothing to be ashamed of. Sure Okinwade dropped him and Briggs stunned him, but it's nothing to be ashamed of Lennox had a great chin. Just watch the Mercer fight. If you judge by the Mercer fight, Lennox had a better chin then Tommy Morrison, who is p4p one of the best Heavyweight chins of all time.

Lennox Lewis would be an example of a fighter with no chin, he got knocked spark out by two complete bums, there is no way anybody can argue for him having a good chin.

Some of the most solid chins are Eubank, Collins, McCallum, Toney, all 10 out of 10.

Under-rated chins, Ali springs immediately to mind. Put down on a few occasions but always got right back up, unlike Lewis who always stayed down.

Wayne McCullogh was tough as nails too

Lennox's fight vs Mercer was different than Tommy's. Tommy found out Ray could take pretty much anything he threw at him in 1991 and gased himself out and Lewis NARROWLY outboxed him in 1996!!!

Morrison had a good chin, aside from the Mercer and Bentt KO's he did pretty well. He would go down a time or two but nothing too bad.

So ar we saying that Morrison getting sparked badly by Bentt and Mercer is OK but Lewis gettting stopped by McCall and Rahman is not?

The thread title is underated chins so McCall Eubank McCallum etc etc have no business being anywhere near it.

How about Nigel Benn? hurting Benn was never difficult, but he came through against some serious punchers.

Lawrence Cley Bey always struck me as having a good chin.

I'm just saying Morrison is about on par with Lewis....they had decent chins, not anything special....Morrison did get back up off the canvas which Lewis never did (When did Akinwade knock him down? )

[Memphis]

Thats news to me too

[yoitsdan]

If your saying underated then Oscar Larios, he has an IRON chin. Also Lacy, he did take 1007 shots and only sort of go down in the 12th. Eubank and bernard are obvious picks.

Sorry, but Nigel Benn ain't making this list. Technically, he was KO'd in the first round against McClellan, only to have the ref leave for coffee and a danish before coming back to actually resume the count.

tua.....he has a great chin

[VictorCharlie]

Tua has one of the best chin's i've ever seen, Marciano walked through punches...DLH has taken some pretty big shots from the likes of Quartey, Vargas, Tito etc without going down(from a head shot that is). JCC could eat punches all day long.

Good looking out Lyle, Yep Tua has a great chin. I would like to see him face Peter,Klitschko,Brewster,Briggs or even Ruiz again.

[Slowmotion]

Tommy Morrison had an excellent chin. George Foreman had an awesome chin. Tex Cobb could take it a lot longer than most. . .
