hey i just wanted you to know your amazing :> and its awesome to see how much your grew as a channel i have been subbed for awhile and your content is always amazing :D
George Foreman is an absolute freak of nature...arguably the hardest puncher ever, one of the best chins in history, took huge amounts of strikes, especially in his comeback and now at 70 years old he is healthy , can speak and think like a normal person
He didn’t take as many as what people thought he used to roll with punches, had a very underrated defence he was a fantastic boxer with one of the best left hands in history
A lot of the old school boxers seemed to reach ridiculously old ages despite taking an absolute pounding, fighting several times a month from a very young age, eating shitty diets etc. Makes you wonder.
Rest in peace Jake Lamotta. The way he fought should be remembered respected and uses for motivation. Dont give up and dont go down. Keep fighting regardless how bad it looks. You just might win.
My favourite quote came from Mr. Lamotta - "I'm not afraid of none of them rats" not a meme or a poster but said im front of congress about the MAFIA. Lived a badass died a badass. True legend RIP
It wasn't his chin, it was those big giant forearms that he used to protect his chin. Anytime Foreman got hurt, he would cover his face with those forearms aka barricades
SC Challenger Foreman got better when he got older he was so gassed fighting in his prime with Ali it wasn't funny old Foreman had stamina and was smarter
golden rules his huge neck made his head more stiff meaning that his jaw was very rarely spun and he was able to endure through power hits way more easily
I rolled my eyes when Antonio Margachito was brought up. I’m glad he’s gone from boxing knowing that he won’t permanently damage or kill someone from his illegal handwraps.
Having a granite chin is one of the most under-looked qualities in boxing. Speed, power, technique, discpline, IQ are all incredibly important in ring from a fighter... But can they take it as they give it?
What is perplexing me is that today we know that having granite chin, if you keep getting hit for the huge majority means, that granite slowly turns to wood, then sand, then water. But then you have people like George Foreman, who took so many shots that their brain should be mushed, yet Foreman even today speaks normally, like he didn't take a shot in his life. It just seems... unnatural?
I’ve seen that mistake many times...fighters that get used to quick knockouts then face a guy that can’t be knocked out...waste energy trying then get beat.
Lucas King I GOT ONE YOU PROBABLY WILL QUESTION. BUT ONE OF THE TUFFEST CHINS IN THE LAST 20 YEARS BELONGED TO PAULIE MALIGNAGGI. REMEMBER HIS FIGHT WITH MIGUEL COTTO? HE HAD A BROKEN JAW AND COTTO COULDN'T PUT HIM DOWN. THE SAME WITH WELTERWEIGHT HAROLD WESTON. ONE OF BOXINGS MOST POWERFUL PUNCHING WELTERWEIGHT'S EVER PEPINO CUEVAS BROKE WESTON'S JAW BUT COULDN'T EVEN STAGER HIM.
denzelsnipes69 Vitali got hit a lot more than his brother did in fights, where people couldn’t even land a punch on Wladimir, Vitali would rely on his reflexes keeping his hands to his knees yet when he did get caught it was like he didn’t even notice.
irish mickey that uppercut was like a grenade going off on Vitali’s face. He took a little stumble and then just kept working, it was scary how he managed to keep going after that.
Its not strictly about "the chin" as such, but I think Arthur Abraham is the toughest dog of them all. Going more than half the fight with a broken (not injured, straight out broken) jaw while also taking lots of hits to it is just insane. More insane is that he even made a full recovery later.
@@jabsj5216 His chin is covered with plot armor that can somehow withstand 2150 PSI,that number is like 10 times above the average heavyweight(the 700 PSI thing is misinfo)
No he didnt he was dropped twice by oscar bonevena in his prime in the 2nd and dropped in thw 2nd fight agiasnt oscar frazier never did well agiasnt heavy punchers
ggg undoubtley best chin in boxing ever!! has never been dropped, stunned or wobbled in 345 amateur fights, 38 pro fights and in sparring. always keeps coming forward despite every powershot thrown at him. in my opinion, best.chin.ever.
@@mikeyp0131 A broken jaw is very dangerous. Being close to the brain and having more than average bloodvessels, if you break your jaw and keep getting it destroyed can cause different healthissues. It may even be lethal.
AJ Harice the guy that’s in ur picture wasn’t which makes this list a travesty. 49-0 with 43 knockout. Defending the HW championship has to count for something. Some of these guys were taking shots from cans and shouldn’t be on if rocky, and jack Dempsey for that matter
Oliver McCall man, took those shots from Lewis with zero defense and never flinched. Too bad his brain took much of the damage from those gym wars with Tyson and drugs
What Georg Foreman was absorbing in that 12 rounnds from Evander Holyfield was not normal! (Heavyweights), that could knock out easy 20 normal duds in a row.
@@SDSOverfiend for heavyweights standards holyfield wasn't that powerful but still he's a heavyweight any of his punches will send to the hospital any avarage person
@16:06 I think he was trying to kill that man. He was clearly out with the ropes holding his lifeless body up. He must've screwed his sister or something, Jesus that was brutal.
See what was absolutely beautiful about George Foreman? He was loved by everyone he faught in his second go around. That's a true warrior in my opinion
if you look at him carefully he actually has the same face shape as Amir Khan. I used to think only people with wide-set jaws like David Tua had great chins but Froch is the argument against that lol
Hagler : never staggered, buckled, hurt, or knocked down. And the publicized "knockdown" by Roldan was the result of a slip after getting pulled down by Roldan. See the replay. Hagler is the toughest I've seen - best chin too.
@ kufujitsu - Without question Hagler had one great chin... but HW wise, I always think of Ray Mercer... but, for me, the best ever chin, has to be James Toney... NEVER stopped, NEVER knocked out...in 92 fights... James Toney went 12 rounds, twice, with 18 stone Samuel Peters... Toney, a once middleweight champion, was NEVER even hurt by Holyfield at Heavyweight... Sure, Toney lost fights, but only on points... Would Hagler have been able to put on 4 stone and jump in the ring with Holyfield or bigger puncher Peters....Nobody, in 92 fights, has ever knocked Toney out, that's incredible considering his rise through the weights...Roy Jones Jr was knocked clean out by Glen Johnson and Tarver...god knows what the 18 stone big puncher Peters would've done to him... James Toney, FACT, knocked OUT Wladimir Klitscho out in sparring... Peppe Roach and other respected witnesses have stated that it's true... Relatively, Hagler definitely had a better chin than the likes of Lewis, even Tyson. Would've been best ever HW if 4 stone heavier and 6 inches taller....No wonder Leonard ducked Hagler until '87... Hagler was calling him out in '83 after he beat Duran, and in '85 after the war with Hearns...Leonard shat himself, even retired to avoid facing Marvin, only coming out of retirement to fight him when he knew he had a chance because Hagler had lost speed and sharpness...Hagler doesn't get the praise he deserves, too many pricks harping on about Sugar Ray Leonard, no doubt unaware that he ducked Marvin for 4 years, lost to Duran when Duran was fit, only beat Duran when Ray made sure that Duran would be exhausted, hence his lethargy in the 'No Mas' bout...Apologies for going on, just can't stand Leonard getting all the glory, when he was more of a crafty coward, waiting, scheming, more crafty than Mayweather has ever been...Leonard only fought the big boys when he knew he would win...Hagler, Duran, Hearns? They were men, men that would fight anyone anywhere...End of rant. Lights out
Leaving out Chris Eubank from a greatest chins list is a felony. Took the best shots Benn had to offer, 2 fights with Carl Thompson at cruiserweight, was a 12 round punchbag for Calzaghe. He was knocked down on occasions but he was never hurt or on wobbly legs in his entire career. Despite being rather easy to hit.
I love how you included vitali Klitschko. Too many people really disrespect him by not mentioning a 47 fight pro career without a single knockdown. In any division that's tough, but as a heavyweight its astonishing.
Tough as he may be, if a guy has a visible broken jaw from 10ft away the fight should be ended. This type of thing should differentiate boxing from bar fights.
@@MastaSmack Well, as a fan i agree that it should be stopped, as a fighter i will fight even with a missing leg and broken neck, we dont always know whats best for us
@@ComanderComander This is my body, not yours...I did not appoint anyone to Lord over me, nor do I want or ask for guidance in my life's journey. If I'm in a fight with a broken hand, and broken jaw and want to try and knock someone out with one hand, that's my business. I want to die young, not hanging around like some old fart in a nursing home...that's a bullshit way to go.
Haglar HAS to be no 1 The 1st round "knockdown" against Roldan was a clear slip, and Haglar protested to the ref as such.. I cannot count that...Aside from that, he never went down as amateur or pro... He fought the hardest punchers not only in his division, but the best from that weight class in history. Never ever saw him even staggered...Incredible,. He went to war for three rounds with Hearns says everything about his chin... Best 3 rounds in boxing history.
& his career ended with a robbery, manipulated into giving every concession to the fake that SRL had become. Without the despicable, corrupt antics of SRL & the WBC (see donny lalonde), there would be no FW. Would Hagler have agreed to a fight against McGregor, or Hearns, or SRR, or their like? The simple answer is no.....what a fucking travesty boxing has become, commonplace to avoid anyone considered a match. fighters skipping 2 weight divisions & getting a title fight (khan, brook) with no hope of winning, just getting a big payday. Did champions before SRL get to choose the size of the ring, the referee, the weight of the gloves, the venue, the date, the opponent even? Larry Holmes, a dominant world champion came in first against Cooney, thanks to SRL & his bullshit.Fighters blaming their losses on "i had nothing to fight for" (the public forgetting they are prizefighters) or my gumshield wasn't fitting, or i had to lose too much weight, or my lucky socks got shrunk. Earning tens of millions & fighting only once every 12-18 months, it's all a farce
Boxing is a sport full of fans who know literally next to nothing but still think there opinion is valid.. its refreshing to listen to someone who clearly gets it and has great knowledge, i learn a lot from your videos, keep up the good work you are the best man.
I feel like you could also have included Ruslan Provodnikov - that guy was made out of something else. I don’t think he was that great a boxer but after seeing him getting lit up by Lucas Matthysse for 12 rounds and ending up looking like Mr. Potato Head, all without being stopped, dropped or even stunned left me in awe.
The look on Canelo face at 10:19 is priceless. He hit GGG with a perfect right cross that almost snap his neck around and GGG just walk casually forward. That shit is demoralizing as shit.
Oliver McCall is my No. 1 chin ever, a journeyman who became champion. He really ate the biggest shots one could imagine taking with ease. Freakish in the best of ways.
Foreman hit Chuvalo with a left hook in their fight that would have floored him if the ropes had not been there. Amazingly, he took incredible punishment the rest of the round, but never came close to going down again
I think Chuvalo would have won if they hadn't stopped the fight. Foreman was visibly losing power and we all know back then he didn't have a whole lot of stamina.
@Mayan Empire That's incredibly stupid don't get me wrong it's great to have a great chin but it's not something you should rely on too much the goal is still to take the least amount of punishment possible if anything guys with solid Chins tend to be too over reliant on their chins resulting in brain damage.
@Mayan Empire "Hit and don't get hit" I'm pretty sure that's the fundamental rule of boxing which is what I was explaining lol so I'm not sure why you're accusing me of being uninformed.
To tell you that Sugar Ray was a power puncher with one of the fastest hands and possibly has the best punching combinations while that Jake stood there and took it and even won.
Raitis Pujats Nah I've seen plenty of them knocked on their ass. You are talking about Tua and Parker the very elite best of the best toughest of the toughest not some average bum at the bar
I saw a nigga hit a Tongan guy as hard as he could and the dude didn't flinch. Seriously this is one of the hardest punches I've seen thrown IRL and that dude just ate it and took him to the ground
Yeah if he had stayed with Cus he may have been legitimately placed right next to Ali at the top of the mountain of greats. Don destroyed him and his career.
Cus died before Tyson became undisputed in 1988. Tyson went off the rails before his prison sentence too. Around the time of Buster Douglas is when Tyson started doing drugs and alcohol and partying all night long, including the night before Douglas. He never had what it took mentally to keep himself in check. The prison sentence was just the final nail on the coffin.
Little Jimmy you are right, my bad it was Rooney that Don convinced Tyson to fire. When Cus died Rooney took up Tyson’s training which still included the peek a boo style.
Raas Putin, a prime Tyson would put anybody away except for the clinchers. A few of them were able to use their height to evade punches and clinch anytime Tyson got inside. But nobody would be able to beat him or out point him. Too evasive, too strong, too fast, the best ever.
Chuvalo is one impressive man given the amount of fights and punches he took and the era he boxed in add to that the tragedy he dealt with he deserves the utmost respect. Honourable mention for Chris Eubanks, Dwight Braxton, Eric Morales, Mickey Ward and many others who make boxing such an amazing sport.
Fullshark 09 Tony Tucker had a decent chin. Took a lot of clean punches from Tyson and wasn't knocked down until Lennox Lewis faced him and then he got knocked out by Herbie Hide and John Ruiz.
I would say that definitely Hagler would be close to the top of this list. Not only was his chin amazing he also was one of the most intimidating fighters of all time. He steam rolled over the top of fighters like Hearns and Duran.
I somehow forgot to add my intro but basically I excluded defensive minded fighters like Floyd and Toney despite them having solid chins
Hey man, do you have a video about Mikkel Kessler ? The Danish boxer ?

Hagler was calling him out in '83 after he beat Duran, and in '85 after the war with Hearns...Leonard shat himself, even retired to avoid facing Marvin, only coming out of retirement to fight him when he knew he had a chance because Hagler had lost speed and sharpness...Hagler doesn't get the praise he deserves, too many pricks harping on about Sugar Ray Leonard, no doubt unaware that he ducked Marvin for 4 years, lost to Duran when Duran was fit, only beat Duran when Ray made sure that Duran would be exhausted, hence his lethargy in the 'No Mas' bout...Apologies for going on, just can't stand Leonard getting all the glory, when he was more of a crafty coward, waiting, scheming, more crafty than Mayweather has ever been...Leonard only fought the big boys when he knew he would win...Hagler, Duran, Hearns? They were men, men that would fight anyone anywhere...End of rant. Lights out
kufujitsu NOPE. Evander is. Took HW shots like tequilla.
cypresspuz Holy deserved to be rated up there, but you can't ignore his 2nd Riddick Bowe fight - Holy was knocked out clean.....
cypresspuz lol apart from bowe
kufujitsu I thought hagler had been dropped before
Rip Marvelous Marvin, always in our hearts.
Leaving out Chris Eubank from a greatest chins list is a felony. Took the best shots Benn had to offer, 2 fights with Carl Thompson at cruiserweight, was a 12 round punchbag for Calzaghe. He was knocked down on occasions but he was never hurt or on wobbly legs in his entire career. Despite being rather easy to hit.
Recap of aj parker / heavyweight division news. ... im an addict to boxing legends tv i need more!!!!
I AGREE
Yea we need that
yes please
It won't have any footage, as it will get taken down. Shame as these kinds of videos are really good to watch.
Sugar Ray Robinson has to be there. 85 bouts as amateur and 200+ bouts as a pro and he never got stopped.
Rendon Nunez I think it’s because he barely got touched. He fought with a great defense
he actually got stopped.
@@b_de_silva That was due to heat not becuase of his chin.
@@roctv100 yeah maybe but he did so claiming that he didnt ia lying
He got stopped by jake lammotta didn’t he?
I love how you included vitali Klitschko. Too many people really disrespect him by not mentioning a 47 fight pro career without a single knockdown.
In any division that's tough, but as a heavyweight its astonishing.
Beautifully curated during the Ali segment
Man I miss Gatti
Gotti, you mean Gatti
Foolish Demon stupid auto correct
wow horrifying story. So she drugged and strangled him...
10:17 the look in Canelos eyes 😂😂😂
Kyále he was like WTF is wrong with him. Why he aimt sleeping
Lol when he realized he was fighting a fighter of his caliber😂
My favorite punch of the fight
That punch broke Canelo's soul and knocked out Amir Khan through Pay Per View
Just walking him down
Tough as he may be, if a guy has a visible broken jaw from 10ft away the fight should be ended. This type of thing should differentiate boxing from bar fights.
If someone wants to continue, what business is it of yours?
@@MastaSmack Well, as a fan i agree that it should be stopped, as a fighter i will fight even with a missing leg and broken neck, we dont always know whats best for us
@@ComanderComander This is my body, not yours...I did not appoint anyone to Lord over me, nor do I want or ask for guidance in my life's journey. If I'm in a fight with a broken hand, and broken jaw and want to try and knock someone out with one hand, that's my business. I want to die young, not hanging around like some old fart in a nursing home...that's a bullshit way to go.
@@MastaSmack it's the refs job to protect the fighters, mainly from themselves
@@MastaSmack wow your so edgy and cool
When you consider Vitali and Wladimir are brothers it's a mystery how they have such hugely contrasting chins.
Love That Part with Ali
Haglar HAS to be no 1
The 1st round "knockdown" against Roldan was a clear slip, and Haglar protested to the ref as such..
I cannot count that...Aside from that, he never went down as amateur or pro...
He fought the hardest punchers not only in his division, but the best from that weight class in history.
Never ever saw him even staggered...Incredible,. He went to war for three rounds with Hearns says everything about his chin... Best 3 rounds in boxing history.
I agree. Took the words right out my mouth
& his career ended with a robbery, manipulated into giving every concession to the fake that SRL had become. Without the despicable, corrupt antics of SRL & the WBC (see donny lalonde), there would be no FW. Would Hagler have agreed to a fight against McGregor, or Hearns, or SRR, or their like? The simple answer is no.....what a fucking travesty boxing has become, commonplace to avoid anyone considered a match. fighters skipping 2 weight divisions & getting a title fight (khan, brook) with no hope of winning, just getting a big payday. Did champions before SRL get to choose the size of the ring, the referee, the weight of the gloves, the venue, the date, the opponent even? Larry Holmes, a dominant world champion came in first against Cooney, thanks to SRL & his bullshit.Fighters blaming their losses on "i had nothing to fight for" (the public forgetting they are prizefighters) or my gumshield wasn't fitting, or i had to lose too much weight, or my lucky socks got shrunk. Earning tens of millions & fighting only once every 12-18 months, it's all a farce
Nobody counts that because it wasn't a knock down. Hagler just got mad at beat up Roldan worse.
Fighting with a broken jaw = super human toughness
Ray Mercer definitely one of the best chins out there with Arturo gatti this is such a good video I freaking love boxing
Boxing is a sport full of fans who know literally next to nothing but still think there opinion is valid.. its refreshing to listen to someone who clearly gets it and has great knowledge, i learn a lot from your videos, keep up the good work you are the best man.
I feel like you could also have included Ruslan Provodnikov - that guy was made out of something else. I don’t think he was that great a boxer but after seeing him getting lit up by Lucas Matthysse for 12 rounds and ending up looking like Mr. Potato Head, all without being stopped, dropped or even stunned left me in awe.
I would even add maidana to the mix.
@@merryjoy48 Maidana got knocked down 3 times by Ortiz.
2:20? Did that announcer say a "wet dream of orgasmic proportions!" 😂😂😂
Yesss 😂
That's actually a soccer commentator. It was from a soccer match
The look on Canelo face at 10:19 is priceless. He hit GGG with a perfect right cross that almost snap his neck around and GGG just walk casually forward. That shit is demoralizing as shit.
Well, guess I gotta watch Raging Bull tonight.
Great video, as always.
I can't imagine having a broken chin and then taking even more punches to the chin.
That shit would hurt like a bitch
And still wining the fight afterwards
I don’t think you can feel it if it’s broken
@@PrinceOfEmotions-cq1tj hurts like shit my guy I’ve had bones broken and they don’t just get numb 😂
Absolutely, #! LaMotta, but Rocky Marciano should be there too.
@Naeem Islam Lmfao bullshit he is the best chin
@Naeem Islam he got knocked down but not knocked out you wanker best chin 49-0 44 Kos
@Naeem Islam okay but is he undefeated tho
@Naeem Islam everything
Cannot believe you didn't at least mention James Braddock, Joe Louis called him the toughest man he'd ever fought. Amazing chin
Louis knocked him out with 1 punch
Always look forward to your videos yours is the very best boxing channel on UA-cam
I agree wit your comment bill bob.😁
h
Your videos are like a comfortable ride that I never want to end.
thats how i feel too lol
when it nears the end im like "what, already?"
That Tua vs Ike bout was something else. Y'all gotta go watch it. Straight warriors the both of them
But at the end of it one was ok and one had brain damage. Roids won that fight.
Oliver McCall is my No. 1 chin ever, a journeyman who became champion. He really ate the biggest shots one could imagine taking with ease. Freakish in the best of ways.
I am sorry but the Lennox in them glasses 😂
I'm sure Abraham's chin is pretty much bulletproof, now that it's reinforced with titanium.
Foreman hit Chuvalo with a left hook in their fight that would have floored him if the ropes had not been there. Amazingly, he took incredible punishment the rest of the round, but never came close to going down again
I think Chuvalo would have won if they hadn't stopped the fight. Foreman was visibly losing power and we all know back then he didn't have a whole lot of stamina.
Lol. Foreman would have killed him if it hadn't been stopped.@@quillanjacobson8952
2:02 that's Ray Hudson commentating on Messi's goal.. Lol
Missed Sugar Ray Robinson.
200 pro fights and never knocked out.
he had a tko loss
Lone Star it's because his defense
Joey Maxium is credited with stipping him. Although, it was the heat
It’s because he didn’t take a beating like these other guys did.
@@wakawaka1976 He took a beating later in his career. Many of those 200 fights were where he was past his prime.
Just when I thought I was going to fall asleep on my job, thank you boxing legends 🥊 💯
RIP jake lamotta Muhammad Ali and sugar ray Robinson 🙏 great video
Floyd Mayweather ran backwards while watching this
@JO - 10AG 740969 T L Kennedy SS it works, but it's boring.
@Mayan Empire when tf did floyd ever run
@Mayan Empire That's incredibly stupid don't get me wrong it's great to have a great chin but it's not something you should rely on too much the goal is still to take the least amount of punishment possible if anything guys with solid Chins tend to be too over reliant on their chins resulting in brain damage.
@Mayan Empire "Hit and don't get hit" I'm pretty sure that's the fundamental rule of boxing which is what I was explaining lol so I'm not sure why you're accusing me of being uninformed.
That Canello punch on GGG was pure dynamite, GGG didn't seem to flinch.
After the punch Canello had the look of "OH SHIT WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!"
Rocky Marciano
Indeed, the Rock should have been on this video.
To tell you that Sugar Ray was a power puncher with one of the fastest hands and possibly has the best punching combinations while that Jake stood there and took it and even won.
"Good thing they stopped the fight 'cause I wanted to get killed." Damn!
Holyfield, Foreman, GGG, Lamotta
Foreman is there
I love to see Gatti's fights. I guess his chin was made of granite or something like that.
That tribute to Ali just warmed my heart. Good on ya brother.
every Samoan
Minnesota Fatz yup. All Samoans are tough and have granite chins
Raitis Pujats mark hunt is a another example
Raitis Pujats Nah I've seen plenty of them knocked on their ass. You are talking about Tua and Parker the very elite best of the best toughest of the toughest not some average bum at the bar
I saw a nigga hit a Tongan guy as hard as he could and the dude didn't flinch. Seriously this is one of the hardest punches I've seen thrown IRL and that dude just ate it and took him to the ground
Charlie Digital That's anecdotal evidence that's the exception not the rule.
The best Mike Tyson had to offer? He was a bum compared to the Tyson of the late 80's
Should have never got involved with the Don.
ariel p lolz.. Yeah Tyson was passed his prime when he fought evander, you can tell.. 80s Mike could beat anyone at that time..
Yeah if he had stayed with Cus he may have been legitimately placed right next to Ali at the top of the mountain of greats. Don destroyed him and his career.
Cus died before Tyson became undisputed in 1988. Tyson went off the rails before his prison sentence too. Around the time of Buster Douglas is when Tyson started doing drugs and alcohol and partying all night long, including the night before Douglas. He never had what it took mentally to keep himself in check. The prison sentence was just the final nail on the coffin.
Little Jimmy you are right, my bad it was Rooney that Don convinced Tyson to fire. When Cus died Rooney took up Tyson’s training which still included the peek a boo style.
Raas Putin, a prime Tyson would put anybody away except for the clinchers. A few of them were able to use their height to evade punches and clinch anytime Tyson got inside. But nobody would be able to beat him or out point him. Too evasive, too strong, too fast, the best ever.
Chuvalo is one impressive man given the amount of fights and punches he took and the era he boxed in add to that the tragedy he dealt with he deserves the utmost respect. Honourable mention for Chris Eubanks, Dwight Braxton, Eric Morales, Mickey Ward and many others who make boxing such an amazing sport.
This is a masterpiece. Fair and objective, fantastic footage, good editing, decent commentator
This guy has the best boxing channel by far. He gets canned a lot sadly due to copyrights issues.
@@deeznutz8320 Cheers mate makes sense
Tony tucker? Joshua clottey? Rocky marciano?
Didn't know about marion wilson or maxie rosenbloom btw. Very illustrative video
Fullshark 09 Tony Tucker had a decent chin. Took a lot of clean punches from Tyson and wasn't knocked down until Lennox Lewis faced him and then he got knocked out by Herbie Hide and John Ruiz.
Jake *Thug Life* Lamotta
Broken jaw and he still won respect
Harry Greb: Only stopped twice in 300 bouts, 1 due to a broken arm the other early in his career, all while fighting men 15-20 pounds heavier.
He also was blind in one eye too most his life. Probably from illegal gloves with the thumb sticking out. This was b4 retina surgery was perfected.
Homer Simpson should be first
Peter Griffin when he fights that Rooster >?
Rocky Balboa
What about Rocky Balboa?
Justin Garza I'm dead
what about Homer Simpson?
Really?😯
Justin Garza
Your a bum rock
Creed knocked him down several times you bum rock
I would say that definitely Hagler would be close to the top of this list. Not only was his chin amazing he also was one of the most intimidating fighters of all time. He steam rolled over the top of fighters like Hearns and Duran.
He didn't steam roll Duran.
I recommend you to watch Tyson vs pinklon Thomas match. I've never seen such a chin.
1:32 wtf 12 wins 41 losses damn🤔🤔
Still no ko loss incredible stuff
