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.

Didn't you notice the same thread was up top?

Pierre Coetzer doesn't belong.

Jake LaMotta

Marvin Hagler as well

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

Joe Grimm needs to be included even though theres no film of him

alexpaterson wrote:Jake LaMotta

Cos I dont.
BTW I never put "p4p" in the title,,,

Just in time then

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 agree, never out, never down,never stopped and never even hurt.

Billy Graham
126 fights. Fought in an era of great fighters and he fought them all.
Hes worth looking up."The Uncrowned Champ."

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.

Tony Canzoneri
Paulino Uzcudun
Ray Mercer

These fighters had great chins

The great Sandy Saddler had a terrific chin, too.

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.
