Hardest shot you’ve ever seen a fighter absorb without going down

[McGrubie]

Never seen that angle on Mendes vs. Jose uppercut.... I'd be spitting out teeth.

Always forget about that one. Mendes was an absolute monster during that time

Not mma nor heavyweight but this was a crazy shot that GGG ate

Even Canelo couldn't believe he ate that shot like that. Canelo also ate some shots from GGG and was still standing there. Both took some bombs in that fight.

Honorable mention goes to Clay Guida vs Diego Sanchez.

that one was pretty bad. Omalley was fresh and he moved into the kick. He fell but not from the kick

Depends how hard O'Malley kicks, I think his punches are harder than his kicks.

any gifs but HW should be ignored.

Not the best examples, but basically Max in this entire fight. He took huge shots and didn’t go down. He did get saved by the fence at one point though

Dustin isn't a KO type of fighter, he gets TKOs though. So in a way his style is very similar to Max's, but with a bit more punching power due to his extra size and more focus on throwing with more power. But Max does have a solid chin though, it's one of his strengths.

I know the TUF era fans won't believe me, but Chuck had one of the best chins in the sport in his prime.

Prime Liddell was an absolute animal. It’s too bad that all those years of fighting with his hands low and hard sparring turned his concrete chin into glass.

Roy Nelson took so many flush hard shots and ate them.. its because he is a fat fighter, fat fighters always have epic chins.. if he was ripped he would get laid out cold by most of those shots. Same goes for Hunt, Cabbage, Tuivasa, Gastelum and all the other fat fighters. They have the blessing of fat fighter chin

There are still some good ones that have been posted. If we limit it to heavyweight, it would just be gifs of Hunt, Rothwell and Nelson.

Good points, but it definitely shouldn’t take away from Max absorbing all of those power shots. Lesser fighters would have definitely been put on the mat by a lot of those shots.

Definitely, that's why I put Max has a solid chin and it's one of his strengths. But I think the post was more about hard single shots. But yes fights like that have a lot of damage at the end and Max absorbed a lot that other fighters would've went down from.

 

[McGrubie]

Roy Nelson had the best chin I've seen. Would like to see prime Nelson vs Ngannou just to see how many shots he could take.

I’ve never even considered this fight. That would have been absolutely brutal to watch. I thought JDS vs Nelson was bad… I can’t even imagine seeing Francis unload on him. I think we would have eventually seen Nelson go down, but damn he would have taken a hellish amount of damage before he did.

when Cro Cop caught Peter Aerts with a flush highkick and Aerts didn't even react.

time stamped

 

[Glove]

To this day, im stunned Carlos Newton was not knocked out from this.

 

[Gamer2k4]

and Hunt cracking him with a overhand right just when Ben is moving towards him:

Hunt even tried his walkaway to get the KO after that shot, and looked back in surprise when he realized Ben was still standing.

I know the TUF era fans won't believe me, but Chuck had one of the best chins in the sport in his prime.

He beat roided Vitor something Wanderlei couldnt do

Impressive. Outstruck him

Prime Chuck was amazing

 

[kuroro]

Roy Nelson won

fighting is not about hugging, stalling, and laying on people. sorry.
