Name Some Fighters who's Chin went better when they went up in weight

[Joey Giardello]

I will get the thread started Pedroza was knocked out twice as a bantamweight then jumped up to featherweight and showed a solid chin and become one of the best featherweights of all time.

Many Pacquiao was stopped at flyweight and super bantamweight and was dropped at featherweight since moveing up the weights his chin has now become one of the best in boxing

Jimmy ellis was dropped and nearly knocked out by ruben carter and dropped in a few other middleweight fights, it was then chris and angelo dundee who said he was to weak at middle and built him into a heavyweight were he become wba champion and showed a more solid chin when he went to heavyweight.

Muhammad Ali seemed to be able to cope with punches somewhat better at a larger weight. Being Knocked down by Cooper at about 210, but standing up to Frazier's hardest shots ever at 224 for 15 rounds.

Yeah larry holmes also had a shaky chin at the star of his careeer he got stopped 3 times as a amateur and dropped a few time's early in his pro career, holmes then started to pack some weight on then went on to show a solid chin through out his career

Also worth a mention is john ruiz after being knocked out cold by tua he packed on about 15 pounds and showed a solid chin the rest of his career

Looking now, I think Foreman's chin got better when he got much bigger, well wider, in his comeback. He took some tremendous shots in his comeback and many times seemed to be on the verge of getting KOed but he got through it. To me he went down a little easier when younger, like with Jimmy Young, and of course Lyle. But Lyle being a hard puncher, he didn't hit George as consistently and cleanly as some of the fighters later in his career. Holyfield and Michael Moorer were all over George but somehow he stayed up.

Yeah old george had a cast Iron chin, morrison, holyfield, moorer or cooney couldnt even score a knock down

Marco antonio Barrera's chin seemed to go better after he left super bantamweight

Pacquiao's chin got better as he filled out, but above featherweight, it's far from granite. Marquez nailed him a couple of times and gave him jello-legs, Cotto hurt him pretty good a couple of times and even Clottey was giving him the shakes. Margarito hurt him, but the size difference was probably more to blame than his chin.
