Rank and compare their chins: Stipe, DC, JDS, Rumble, Gus, Jones, Ngannou

[Gregoire1]

How do you rank their chins and ability to take huge punch:
Stipe, DC, Rumble, Gus, JDS, Ngannou, Jones?
I mean peak condition for each fighter: for example for JDS before Cain wars.

 

[120wrestling]

Stipe: Solid chin, he doesn't have an iron chin like a Roy Nelson. But when he fights, you never think of his chin as a liability like you would think of Overeem and Arlovski.

DC: Iron chin

Rumble: Never seen him truly cracked with a heavy bomb, but I've never seen him rocked in his professional career. I can assume he probably has an iron chin.

Gus: Very good and reliable chin, only KO loss was to Rumble. But everyone Rumble fights gets hurt, dropped, or finished at some point.

JDS: At one point had an iron chin, it is still solid but it's not what it used to be.

Ngannou: Based on his last fight, he has a hell of a chin. It'll hold up very well in his career.

Jones: Probably has an iron chin as well, never seem him hurt or rocked.

 

[Gregoire1]

Personally I rank them:
Ngannou
Stipe
Jones
DC
JDS
Rumble
Gus

 

[Melas Chasma]

1. Gus (every single LHW and possibly HW would have been completely out from the punches he ate from Rumble)

Ngannou
Jones
Rumble
Stipe
DC
JDS (if prime JDS then probably on top)

 

[Gregoire1]

1. Gus (every single LHW and possibly HW would have been completely out from the punches he ate from Rumble)

Ngannou
Jones
Rumble
Stipe
DC
JDS (if prime JDS then probably on top)

But Gus was also rocked by spinning elbow of Jones...
And we talking about not current, but prime versions (so prime JDS).

 

[AimedWithV]

Jones: Probably has an iron chin as well, never seem him hurt or rocked.

Ate a couple of good shots from Bader and Machida.

But yeah, his standup style is so aggressive (eye pokes help with that) that it's rare that someone has an option to land a bomb on him

Gus: Very good and reliable chin, only KO loss was to Rumble. But everyone Rumble fights gets hurt, dropped, or finished at some point.

Also in his fight with Rumble Gus was dazed by the bomb, and Rumble had to land another 10000 shots to finish him.
That's like Wanderlei KOing Rampage with knees proves that Rampage's chin is made from granite.

 

[Melas Chasma]

But Gus was also rocked by spinning elbow of Jones...

And Cormier was rocked and dropped by Gus and punched completely uncoscious by pillow fisted Jones and you still listed him above Gus. Both DC and Gus were hurt very similarly standing and finished similarly with GnP vs Jones and Rumble, yet Jones was the one who easily punched Cormier unconscious on the ground even when Rumble hit Gus like 1000x harder and Gus never went fully out.

Gus has better chin than DC.

 

[TheScorpionDude]

1. Roy Nelson
2. Roy Nelson
3. Roy Nelson
4. Big Nog
5. Mark Hunt

Everyone else has a good chin for a couple of fights only.

The 3 mentioned above have been savagely beaten and survived to tell the story.

Especially Big Country. He actually drains his opponents cardio with his chin.

I think that every top HW in the UFC has at least once drilled his knee in Roy Nelsons skull.

What's really impressive about him is that he can still talk without stuttering.

Ngannou
Jones
Rumble
Stipe
DC
JDS (if prime JDS then probably on top)

You actually think Gus has the best chin out of the fighters mentioned? The same Gus that was KO'd in the first round? You know DC ate Rumbles bombs right? Logic.

Roy was KTFOed though by Mark Hunt

 

[thelovacluka]

pillow fisted Jones rocked also Rampage with a check hook if I remember.

Rothwell!!

 

[Ananth]

Ngannou and Jones are top on that list. And Stipe bottom.

The best chin in history is Roy Nelson.

 

[ostlerrage]

stipe has an iron chin. similar to cain. its what wins titles.

 

[Melas Chasma]

Your own logic is horrible, because you are implying DC ate the same punches from Rumble with the same force to the same spot in his chin. Lets have him eat the exact same punches Rumble landed on Gus` chin and DC would probably die.

And DC got KOd completely unconscious by pillow fist punches from Jones so there is that..

 

[Rizin]

Roy was KTFOed though by Mark Hunt

He sure did, on the other hand he survived this:

 

[TheScorpionDude]

Roy was KTFOed though by Mark Hunt

True, but after how many beatings ?

He lost 4-5 decision to TOP guys, and all of them were just savage beatings.

And even when Hunt KO'd him, he got up. The fat fucker got up a few seconds after being flatlined.

And did he deteriorate after the KO ? NOPE.

He continued receiving 3-4 more SAVAGE beatings from other top HWs.

He's an extremely rare specimen, no question about it.

 

[TheScorpionDude]

Rothwell!!

Yeah, you can squeeze in Rothwell in there, also Shogun, Hendo... a lot of dudes.

But none of them are on the Nelson/Nog/Hunt level.

I'm talking about chin abominations. Anomalies.

IMO
List is pretty random?

He ate a head kick and maybe 10 follow up punches while not defending.. all from a juicy slut. Dc has a better chin
