Has Anderson Silva's chin really been tested?

I'm not too familiar with all of Anderson Silva's fights, but I've seen about the last 10 fights. From what I've seen, I don't think his chin has really been tested. If anyone would to really land a good shot, would he crumple like a sack of potatoes? Things could have been really different if Franklin, Marquardt, or Hendo landed anything (or even Leben for that matter). IMO, he needs to be matched-up with a really good striker (a lot like him) with good power in his punches.

Any thoughts on who can do the job of testing his chin?

Hendo got him with that right hand and it only made him more mad.

Lutter had a full mount, and unloaded like 10 straight GnP shots to Silva's face, only to get swept.

Yeah, but Lutter doesn't have much power, I don't think. He's better known for his JJ.

Oh yeah, Anderson pretty much let Jorge Rivera punch him in the face in the clinch.

And you know how that fight ended.

Um, he ate a lot of good shots clean by Big Nog. Ate some clean from Rich too, and one good one from Hendo. His chin is pretty damn good.

Damn, then I stand corrected.

Then who has the ability to knock him out?

Yep, Franklin hit him with the same punch that knocked out Quarry and it barely fazed him.
