Past or present fighters. My pick is Marvin Hagler. What do you think?

I agree Marvin Hagler had the best chin in boxing, the only time he got wobbled was against Hearns for a split second in the first round of their terrific fight and he went in with some decent punchers. He was never knocked down properly the only time he took a count was when he slipped against Roldan.

My main man Marvelous Marvin! This dude took some serious fire from Hearns and sneered in his face! And he took some hard shots from John Mugabi who was a muderous puncher at the time and he didn't flinch. I remember Mugabi hitting Hagler with a uppercut and i just knew he had knocked Marvin's dome off! But Marvin just looked at him and came right back at him! I agree with u Panch! Hagler!

My first choice is Marvin Hagler. Juan Roldan was given credit for a knockdown when they fought but it was clearly not a knockdown as he pulled him down. So really Hagler never hit the canvas. 2nd choice is Jake LaMotta who faced many hard punchers during his career and stayed on his feet thanks to tree trunk legs and an iron jaw. He was finally knocked down late in his career by a fighter named Murphy I think. My 3rd choice is the legendary Rocky Marciano who was knocked down only twice in his career and got up quickly both times in his undefeated 49 bout career. Also strong consideration to Muhammad Ali who was knocked down only 4 times in 61 fights and endured some tremendous shots from fighters like Frazier, Foreman, and Norton. I almost forgot that George Chuvalo was never knocked off his feet during his career so I have to give him a tie with Hagler on this one.

It's a tossup between Muhammad Ali and Hagler.
Ali had his jaw broken in the second round by Ken Norton, but went the distance.
Hagler WALKED THROUGH the same punches that put Duran and Quevas to sleep in two and put Leonard on his butt twice.

One boxing website has listed George Foreman's chin as the best chin as a heavyweight contender.

Definitely Muhammad Ali. Before, during, and after his prime.
... excluding the Larry Holmes fight, when he was on multiple medications for both pain and Parkinson's, that is. Even in his last fight, hard hitting and muscular Trevor Burbick could not ko him.
