    I'm shocked and appalled that Amir Khan hasn't received a mentioned yet. Between him and Audley Harrison I'm almost certain that there might be a reasonable chin.

    On a more realistic note, I think some of the journeymen that are on the circuit are very good at avoiding stoppages, but I'm not sure if that makes them fighters with great chins though.

    I've been impressed with the chin of Margarito, as he does tend to ship a lot of shots, and Cotto too.

    Thinking back to early vids I've seen of Joe Calzaghe, I remember one american dude getting stopped for not throwing anything back, even though he was coherent and taking the piss out of Calzaghe's punching at the time. That was a pretty good chin too.

    Naseem Hamed. Sure he got knock down quite a few times but it's more of due to his unorthodox style and being off balance than having a suspect chin. I could be wrong but I don't remember him being hurt at all from being knocked down from a head shot.

    I watched the Maidana fight again yesterday and that shot he took flush in the 10th has convinced me that his chin aint that bad now he is not tight at the weight.

    Carl Froch has an iron chin! Walks straight through punches and throws more back. I think he's been down once in his career against Taylor I think?

    It's not seen as his best ability, but is definatley up there for his strong assets as a champion. Some shots he has taken have been pure power and he doesn't even look fazed.
