Yeah why would you want to have the chin of a overrated middleweight? Lamotta would get knocked out by any half way decent heavyweight, I wouldnt even pick his chin for a middleweight. "Raging Bull" really messed up alot of you so called boxing fans, now you think this guy was superhuman.
He wasnt fighting guys with ko percentages like Pavlik,Julian Jackson, Nigel Benn, or Gerald McClellan at middleweight. He was fighting guys for the most part who had records like 40 wins 25 loses with 12 knockouts, That is why he didnt get knocked out more often. And Sugar Ray Robison was a natural 140 pounder so taking his punches didnt prove jack not to mention Ray Robinson pretty much avoiding fighting other black fighters his whole career.
George Chuvalo had a cute chin, which is why Frazier and Foreman stopped him in a few rounds. He didnt get knocked down because the ref saved him from being knocked down. If he went 10 with both Foreman and Frazier while getting hit with bombs the whole time then I would day he had a great chin but since he didnt i wont.
Chin would be Foreman, he fought until he was 38 to 48 and was never dropped or stopped. Could you imagine any heavyweight in boxing history getting hit with 20 plus punching in a row from a prime Holyfield and not being knocked down. Then could you imagine them being 42 and taking those punches?
Ali footwork? Depending on what you ment by footwork, if you ment a guy who got into the ring and ran and grabbed like a chicken then maybe Ali would be a good option. If you ment a person who could cut off the ring like no other than Foreman would be at the top of your list again

Infact heart and jab could also be George Foreman, Just watch Briggs vs Foreman and see how a nearly 50 year old mans jab could make a 25 or so year old big man like Briggs flee like a girl. Then watch Foreman vs Alex Stewart to see heart, Foreman suffered a broken nose and his face was swollen more than I ever seen for him and yet he kept coming.
Roy Jones isnt a heavyweight so he is out of the equation. Tyson had good hand speed for a heayweight but that was because he had short arms. Buster Douglas had pretty good hand speed when he was in shape, Shannon Briggs had good hand speed before he started coming to matches weighing 270
