The Top 10 best CHINS

Post by gambler49 »

George Chuvalo
Randy “Tex” Cobb
Oliver McCall
Ray Mercer
Muhammad Ali
Rocky Marciano
George Foreman
Oscar Bonavena
David Tua
Pierre Coetzer

I don't think of including the real old time fighters here as I find it to hard to judge the puches in that old film footage. Maybe sum of them should be on here. But im explaining why I havn't.
Please list urs or critic mine.

I was just about to say that I get offended when people mention Lamotta's chin and not Haglers.

Of all the fighters that I've watched the majority of their fights. hagler had the best chin I've seen by a significant margin. I never saw him hurt.

I hate to say it, & you'll think I'm stirring sh!t, but there is nothing between Hagler's chin & Chavez's.

Chavez had a great chin. Not on Marvin's level for me. I've seen chavez hurt more than once, Hagler never.

Hagler never moved up in weight, to be fair, & had so many fewer fights. Some of Chavez's, "moments" were when he was shop-worn on a level Hagler never experienced.

He didn't have fewer fights against legitimate competition. He also never had day before weigh ins to suck down a weight class. I always thought Chavez was at his best at 140.

Hagler was as shopworn eating bombs from Mugabi as Chavez was when Randall was putting him on his ass.

Can't agree with that, as a huge number of fights, irrespective of competition, will wear a man down. Chavez dealt with it --- comparatively speaking, Hagler didn't.

Either way, they both had superb jaws. The Lightweight Chavez was the best for me. Maybe that, & the very early Jr. Welter days.

A lot of the fights were well after his best days and I don't hold any of that against him. Hagler fought better fighters, that has to count for something.

Either way, I rate Chavez chin higher than I rate his career.

Hector Camacho had a hell of a beard.

It's really tough to rate the chin over several weight classes. Thought I would give it a shot anyway.

1. Marvin Hagler
2. Carlos Monzon
3. Charley Burley
4. Billy Graham
5. Jake LaMotta
6. Carmen Basilio
7. Kid Gavilan
8. Eder Jofre
9. Mike McCallum
10. Ray Robinson

You easily change the order of these guys.

Honorable Mention:
Sammy Angott
Gene Fullmer
Ray Leonard
Joey Maxim
Carlos Ortiz
Sandy Saddler
Jack Britton
Panama Al Brown
Tony Canzoneri
Harry Greb
Fidel LaBarba
Packey McFarland
Eddie Mustapha Muhammad
Bernard Hopkins
Julio Cesar Chavez
Vincente Saldivar
