I think there's only really Murray that can be considered if you're taking into account the level of opposition and heavy handed fighters faced.

Brook took some shots well from Porter who has moderate power but something still to prove with Brooks chin for me yet.Senchenko had him wobbling in that fight momentarily.

De gale with some gradual improved defenses will be in and around and if BJS can stand Andy Lees shots then hes heading in the right direction.

Afolabi NO questions asked. He's been in with big punchers time and time again (Enzo, Huck, Ramirez)....and has he even been down?

I seriously doubt anyone else at middleweight can go 11 with GGG.
Good call with Murray,he looks rock-solid
I still see Murray vs Renda when I think about Murray against the best.

I know he didn't show it against Bruno, but Chuck Gardner had some chin on him.

Could be Eubank Jr if his Dad passed on his chin genes.

Murray for me, no takes the beating he took off Golovkin like that. In the end tiredness ended it. If Murray had a bigger punch that fight could have got very interesting because he was landing and didn't look out of place there.

That fight where Brook was "shaken" also if anything proved his chin. He was caught clean, stumbled a fraction and it just made him focus more. I think if you watch it without the commentary you'd struggle to see him being hurt half as bad as the commentators made it out to be.

Henry Wharton had a really good chin, he boxed some very good hitters and wasn't really troubled and he wasn't bthe biggest middle/supermiddle.

Wayne McCullough had a brilliant chin, a really tough man.

TBF to Macccarinelli,he's been KO'd by some murderous punchers yet he'll still go in the ring with anyone,it was a shame what happened in the Braehmer fight regarding the eye injury
