Best Chins by non-HW fighters

Lucky Strike · 07-28-2006, 10:26 AM

Any discussion on best chins will just stop with names like Hunt and Cabbage. What about the lighter guys...you never hear too much about the best chins on guys under 200lb

Ken Shamrock. Don Frye back in his lighter days (see the Tank fight). Oleg. Maybe Forrest Griffin, although if you're defining "chin" by "ability to take damage," it should be noted that Griffin did lose to a single kick from Jeremy Horn.

BJ Penn is one tough motherfucker.

Jeremy Horn without a doubt. The Liddell fight aside, I think Tito has shown he can take some blows. Evan Tanner has a big head and can take a lot of punishment too.

I know you're all gonna s&%^ but Ken Shamrock.....this isn't a debate on whether or not he should retire but the guy takes beatings and doens't go unconscious. lus, prior to 2000 he'd never been KO'd or TKO and he fought for over 10 years. Now every fight ends in TKO it seems but he's still awake when it happens he just doen't fight back.
