Better Chin - Eubank or Froch

Both can take some punishment but I'd have to say Froch.

Two men who's chin are/were probably too tough for their own good at times.

Eubanks.

He took some cracking shots, in his time. Chin was a solid as they come. Nigel Benn and 'The Cat' were tremendous bangers. Tremendous.

I dunno. Kessler, Groves and Abraham all can/could seriously whack aswell.

Eubank easily!

You ever seen him hurt the way Froch was on Saturday?

Eubank has been down u usually when tired and not really hurt.

So you're saying that your boy Groves doesn't have tremendous power?

The shot that Calzaghe dropped him with wouldnt of dropped Froch IMO.

I think it does to be fair, Eubank didn't see it coming and Froch is hardly known for his reflexes, he'd get up though, but continue taking a beating until McCracken threw the towel in.

Not sure I would bracket any of those with Benn and Thompson. Remember Thompson was a very hard punching CW, too.

I don't ever remember seeing eubank really dazed or shaky. Both phenomenal chins. Id say Eubank has the edge. Benn was a Gigantic puncher, an absolute beast.

Henry Wharton took shots off Benn and Eubank that would have felled a tree. One in particular from Benn was frightening.

Wharton was freaking tough too!

He went toe to toe with Eubanks, Benn and Reid. Great chin and great puncher too dating back to his amateur days.

Eubank,iv never seen him rocked like froch was in the first round

Coco · Post by **Coco** » 26 Nov 2013, 19:21

Going toe to toe with Benn makes Eubanks a hands down winner

Aye, but if he was from Ghana he'd have been teak tough.

Not seen a poll so close before like this, 2 warriors and one International superstar

Eubank had a better defence. He didn't take as much punishment as Froch...or as many flush shots...

Close call.
