    Default Great chins. Great fighters have them.

    If you are a fighter you need a good chin. If you are a great fighter you need a great chin!

    Here are few who had terrific chins. Add to the list or rearrange them.
    1. Marvelous Marvin Hagler
    2. Harry Greb
    3. Rocky Marciano
    4. George Chuvalo
    5. Julio Cesar Chavez
    6. Carlos Monzon
    7. Kid Gavilan
    8. Jake LaMatta
    9. Carmen Basillo
    10. Gene Fullmer
    11. Sam Langford
    12. Daniel Zaragoza
    13. James Toney
    14. Sugar Ray Robinson
    15. Tommy Farr

    I don't want to argue but I do want you opinions.

    I agree that Hagler is at, or near the top regarding all-time chins.
    But there are also fighters whose chins have exceeded their greatness as fighters.
    Arturo Gatti comes to mind.

    The others I recognize on the list have/had pretty good chins as well.

    Superb list. Everybody forgets Cobb.
    Greb. He was only stopped twice in over 300 fights. Once by ko in his 7th fight and later a tko because his arm was busted.
    Stribling who I have talked a bit about lately. Stopped only once in about 235 fights depending on sources 225 at the go to site.
    Hagler
    Paulie Ayala. Not sure if you have seen the Morales fight but how he remained standing was unreal. Only stopped once in his final fight by Mab.

    Suppose I better go do some work.

    Good call on Ayala. For a guy with little pop he was solid. I do remember him being really outhustled and flat out fought and dropped by Dianzo though. Texas home cooking that one!

    I don't know if a all great have great chins, they just have the better defense and offense to pull them out of the fire or not put them in there in the first place. Only thing about a solid beard is you don't want to need to repeatedly prove it. Toney was an upper body roll and slip phenom, but he got rocked a few.

    Ben Tackie had a head of titanium.

    Certainly not putting him in the great bracket, but for a british boxer Wayne Mccullough had a great chin.

    Mercer which was just stupid defence.
    Eubanks taking Benn's punches.
    Villasana against Paul Hodkinson.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Howard Cossell's last commentary I believe, retiring to work solely on amt fights after that. Theres a large gaps in the Holmes fight where he doesn't say anything. I think you'd have to go some to get a better chin than Cobb.

    Tackie is a great pick. You could have hit him with a sledge hammer.

    Silly me for not seeing Greb and Hagler already on his list.
