Marion Wilson (born October 19, 1956) is an American former heavyweight professional boxer who competed from 1989 to 2007. Wilson, despite having faced some of the hardest punchers of his era, has never been stopped in his professional career. As a result, he is considered by many to have one of the best chins in boxing history, and boxing writer James Slater included him on a list of boxing's best "chins"[1] and Livefight.com ranked him as #8 in terms of best heavyweight chins ever.[2] Wilson faced virtually all notable prospects of his time with perfect records, stopping several promising winning streaks as well as taking former heavyweight champion Ray Mercer to a draw. In the words of the ABC Sports Network's boxing analyst Al Bernstein, Wilson is a veteran fighter, who "has not won many fights, but always gives these youngsters a tough time." He holds wins over Corey Sanders, Mike Hunter, and Paea Wolfgramm.[3]
