There's more to Matthew Hatton than clutching. He can box and fight and has a fantastic chin with very good conditioning. Matthew may have had good breaks but it seems he is undervalued by some boxing fans.

I think I remember Burns going down 2/3 times against Johanneson alright, but from memory it was body shots that did it. Same way Arthur turned the fight against Burns after getting outboxed for 3 rounds. Ricky handles the pressure and body blows much better nowadays though.

I'm sure it was a head punch the first knockdown, and then 2 more Kd's later on were more accumilation type ones, with just the volume of Johannsons punches doing the damage.

ryan clark johnny greaves and kristian laight they no only got good chins but big balls and all 3 are better than there records

id be worried about putting a debutant in with ryan clark , guy looks very tough on the occasions ive seen him

Ryan Clark can scrap with the best of em, had a few decisions against him too. Not a chance I would risk a debutant with him. Johnny Greaves can make you look very bad, only inexperienced pro I've seen give johnny a working over was Graeme Earls lad Holmes. Kris is a fit conditioned pro who's always on the weight. All good hard working Pro who definitely earn they're corn.

got to be froch. what about kenny buchanan? only ko to the great duran on a low blow. his chin took the best of a great lighweight era?

chris eubank defo had the best chin and paul bonson had an hard head on him

Wally Swift Jnr had some whiskers on him. He could really hold a shot in his prime.

now i know you guys might frown upon this

but the best chin ive ever witnessed

belongs to an unlicensed boxer

a short fat heavyweight from sheffield

called mizengo sikimobe (not sure on spelling ?)

obviously on unlicensed there not always skilled

but ive seen him hit with HUGE shots

im sure most of you wont know who he is

but if anyone on here has

youll know exactly what i mean

i chaallenge any heavyweight to put him on his arse

any unlicensed heavyweights on here ?

would need a truck to knock him over

Miguel Matthews

It has to be Froch from the current crop. He's faced proper world class fighters for the past couple of years, got hit flush, and has been down once. Then he got up and knocked the geezer out. Can't beat that.

From the recent past? Joe Calzaghe deserves a mention. He had a great chin.

his eyebrows aren't too f**king clever though, are they?

Macklin can take some hammer as could Moorsey and Webb

He was hurt against Helenius, cant remember if it was the first or second round but he got hit with a right hand and started back peddling and then the round come to an end.

Cheers mate, i do actually get flak from some people on youtube as i have uploaded fights and they say that i have copied their uploads on a boxing website.
I did point out that unless they own the BBC, NBC, ITV etc , they can shove it. As they copied the fights in the first place

I have lots more to put on

The amount of times I've see Chisora get hit flush on the jaw - by big hitters too - and not even wobble is almost scary. He has a fantastic chin.

Anyone remember Henry Wharton's great chin ?
Collins and Eubank also had great chins to !
