Who had/has the best chin in boxing history? |
I heard someone mention Jake LaMotta on another question. I've been re-watching a lot of Sal Sanchez, and that kid could take some crack without blinking. Of course, Tex Cobb stood there and had Holmes pound on him for 12 solid rounds without moving. Any others? Jim Jeffries- Was almost impossible to hurt and rugged beyond belief with a granite chin. Was never knocked down during his prime. Rocky Marciano-GREAT chin ( though knocked down twice ) His recovery time was extraordinary. Even the great Archie Moore ( who was a knockout artist ) could'nt put the Rock to sleep. Jack Dempsey-( ole leather face and stone chin ) Only KO'D once by jim flynn ( but giving Dempsey his due, he had'nt eaten in several days at the time ) Even the huge Luis 'Angel' Firpo ( who supposedly a George Foreman of his day ) could'nt KO Dempsey. Chivalo-In the ring was never knocked off his feet. 'Tex' Cobb- What can you say ? The guy did'nt have a human chin. Batman Women. We have to keep our chins up when our husbands are boxing us down? ROCKY MARCIANO for sure thanks ~Cherokee74 EVANDER HOLYFIELD HAS TAKEN CHIN SHOTS FROM LARGER MEN HIS WHOLE CAREER, TEX COBB COULD TAKE THEM , BUT HE WAS IUST PURE INSANITY, BUT NO ONE COULD TAKE A CHIN SHOT LIKE SUGAR RAY ROBINSON. MARCIANO , HE HARDLY WAS PUNCHED IN MOST FIGHTS !! KID GAVILAN CAERSAR CHAVEZ , MARVIN HAGLERS SAL SANCHEZ ROBERTO DURAN, ALL OF THESE GUYS WERE TOUGH Harry Greb was knocked out 1 time in 299 fights. George Chuvalo was never knocked off his feet in over 90 fights against such fighters as Muhammad Ali, Floyd Patterson, Joe Frazier, and George Foreman. Tex Cobb had a granite jaw. Marvin Hagler withstood the bombs of John Mugabi and Thomas Hearns and was knocked down once in his career (controversial) and had an iron jaw. Ali or Holyfield. |
