Shane Mosley, look at the shots he took off Mayweather which wobbled him, and I'm sure would have dropped damn near anyone. Even though he was wobbled badly a few times his chin had enough to take particularly as he got caught clean so many times.
James Toney, although part of this with him was his defensive ability to roll off the shot, which I think takes a lot of the credit.
Andrade, Margarito & Mayorga. All three of these guys are arguably the most impressive as they never roll off the shot they walk onto it and keep walking. That to me is the epitome of a great chin.
I also think that if people are throwing JMM & Calzaghe out there, then you've got to say Pacquiao & Mayweather. I think Manny has an extremely underrated chin, especially when you look at how he stayed up from some of the shots he took from JMM, while Mayweather has never really been dropped, as the Hernandez KD wasn't a KD, while the Judah one which should have counted wasn't really a drop. I think a lot of that is defensive ability, but when he's taken big shots he's always come back pretty quickly. Also Manny has taken hard shots off some serious guys & not looked like dropping.
Abraham has a pretty good chin when you look at some of the shots he took off Miranda & Froch.
For me in a lot of ways the best has to be Glen Johnson. Very rarely seriously hurt, but he probably edges it for me in totality, because he's never been down, I've seen him take big shots, recover & come back or sometimes act like nothing has happened. He does all of this largely on the front foot which impresses me that bit more.
