Out of the fighters listed who fought at MW who would you say had the sturdiest chin? Rank them from best to worst. Marvin Hagler Jake LaMotta James Toney Gennady Golovkin Carlos Monzon Bernard Hopkins Sugar Ray Robinson Chris Eubank Mike McCallum Gerald McClellan Dick Tiger Canelo Álvarez Bennie Briscoe
Huhh???? Briscoe was GONE! One of the all time great right hand KOs. Why Valdez isn't in the HOF yet I have no idea.
REED Never Really Gave Much Thought to the Number of AMAZING Beards Contained within the Middleweight Division, Until this Thread... REED
I don’t know how to rank them, it’s too tough. Most of the fighters have good defenses as well as great chins. The beating LaMotta took in the last 3 rounds of the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre was ridiculous. Did Toney’s chin get even better as he moved up? The Reggie Johnson KD was the most hurt I’ve seen him until he fought Sam Peter 15 years later. The first Peter fight convinced me that Toney is one of the toughest guys to ever lace them up.
Indeed..., my initial reaction was that Hagler and Hopkins were the obvious choices but damn, there is a lot of granite on this list. Really hard to say who edges it
I see no case for Mclellan though. Eubank's a dark horse but Mclellan shouldn't be even in the debate
McClellan showed a great chin against Jackson, but yeah, i fell his body of work is too small to include him on this list
