    Yeah I know. But he can really take a hell of a dig all the same.

    Arturo Gatti
    Micky Ward
    Miguel Cotto
    Manny Paquiao
    Diego Coralles
    Luis Castillo
    and my ultimate pick for this list

    Billy Collins Jr (RIP), who stayed up on his feet for nine rounds against an opponent with plastered gloves.

    Thomas Tate and Glenn Wolfe should get mention, Wolfe especially.

    Tate known for taking some of Julian Jackson's best shots, but then getting knocked out by Roy Jones Jr in easy fashion, that aside Tate had a pretty good chin. And Glenn Wolfe had a great toughness and iron chin, it is a shame that his career was ended when Roy Jones left hook to his body permanently damaged his liver retiring him, but that is a testament to how hard he hit at that weight. But regardless those two should be honorable mentions.

    Yes I remember Glenn "Big Bad" Wolfe. He did have a good chin

    Marque Sosa (spelling) had a war with Williams but got stopped by Roy Jones seemed to be very durable.

    Damn. Good call. He could take freakish punishment.

    Vince Phillips ? Aside from Millet it was bs cut stoppages. Don't think Quartey got him off his feet after 3 insane rounds.

    I'm going to throw Joe Calzaghe in there. Been down plenty, but his recovery powers are insane. I've never really seen him in trouble and i've seen him take some pretty heavy bombs. That uppercut from Jones was lethal.

    Yes Calzaghe could take a punch and recover very fast from one and fire back.

    I always thought De la Hoya had a very good chin.
    Sugar Shane has a great beard.
    Bernard Hopkins has been down on a few occasions but never in serious danger.
    Antonio Margarito is an obvious one.

    You know I thought of Joe as one of the guys who just came shy but because he had been knocked down so many times I thought maybe it was not the best choice...I mean Joe always got back up and I don't think I ever rememeberr him hurt badly
