How would you rate his chin? On one hand, he was never knocked down. On the other hand, he didn't fight that many hard punchers other than Lewis, Sanders, and Peter.

That shot from Sander was better.He said Sanders really hurt him a couple of times in that "best I ever faced"series in THE RING
Taking that punch alone grants Vitali a 10/10 Granite Chin.
The fact that uppercut had to be thrown on a taller opp made it less powerfull.But Vitali had very good chin but level of opp I think keeps it from being 10.But not far imo

Yes, had a good chin. Comparing him to his brother Wlad, it was night and day.
Those are the 2 fights(Lewis and Sanders) that I remember the most when it comes to his chin. On the other hand, Sanders destroyed Wladimir and more than likely, Lewis would have done the same.
.
If Wladimir had that chin he'd have been unstoppable
Although I didn't rate his style, I would have to agree with this. If he'd have had his brothers chin, Wlad would never have been beaten in his era.
He took some bombs from some dangerous guys including Lennox and held up. That qualifies him as having a great chin. I'm not sure how many heavies could have taken the shots he took from Lennox.
Great chin I still remember him getting buckled by a huge counter left hand from Sanders he probably never even seen it coming either. How the hell he remained upright/had the faculties to survive the follow up without going down was something to behold & taking those shots from Lewis (on short notice at that) speaks for itself. Great, great chin he was a real life Terminator.

His chin was legit as f*ck. The uppercuts he took clean vs Lennox prove that. Vitali was a hell of a fighter IMO. Real shame he was in a largely weak HW era and struggled with so many injuries
