Rate Tyson's Chin

[BigHeat]

A 9.5

Tyson IMO has one of the best chins in boxing.
1. he has never been KOed by one shot or even knocked down
2. not unlike other fighters (Lewis, for one), his chin seems connected to his stamina/training.
3. he has taken NUMEROUS shots from guys who have been known to flatten people with one punch

I'd rate him an 8. Those shots he took from Lennox where incredible. Ruddock hit him some pretty awesome shots as well. The thing with the heavy's, you have got somebody 230+ pounds that has been trained to punch, you get hit on the beard with a flush shot, your going down. The power that the big guys can generate is pretty fierce.

An 8. He still took a syit load of punishment before he got stopped.

i voted 8 like almost everybody else

I will go with a 7, if he was stopped by guys like Holyfield and Douglas I can't rate him higher then that, both Douglas and Holyfield were not big punchers.

When Bone Crusher Smith hit Tyson the last seconds of the fight he hurt Tyson, this was the same fight Bone hugger was holding Tyson for 12 staright rounds, if he would've braweled with Tyson he might of got lucky and stopped Tyson because Bone Hugger hits harder then Douglas or Holyfield.

Tyson had a good decent chin but def not a great chin, so a 7 is a perfect score for Tyson's chin.

but look how many times they had to hit him (at least to finish him off)

Danny Williams hit Tyson with more than 13 unanswered shots square on the chin. 13 ****in shots!!!!

when you talk about sum1's chin, ur talkin about sum1's ability to take a shot n recover!

wel lets b real, i dont think any1 gave tyson one big shot which made tyson blink for more dan a few seconds!

yes hes been stopped, but like people have mentioned, not once did he have that look of "i see stars" but he had more of a "im takin a beatin, shal i let it continue!?" look! lol

just remember da buster douglas uppercut, da lewis right hand in da 8th! HUGE HUGE shots, and tysons eyes were still clear! he even got back up against douglas!

His chin deserves respect!

Being stopped by these two guys I can't rate Tyson's chin higher then a 7, especially the way he was stopped by 2 guys that did not hit that hard.

3/4 heart based on what exactly? His retirement against McBride. Grow a brain will ya.

If he had a weak heart he wouldn't have had the stomach to take a beating from Douglas for 10 rounds. He'd simply have quit.

He also could have quit against Ruddock twice if he didn';t fancy doing a hard night's work.

He also could have quit against Holyfield when he was losing.

He also could have quit against Lewis after the second round aftrer eating his bombs. He hung around till the 8th round before finally going down after taking a wicked salvo of massive punches all night long.
He could have quit against Danny Williams when his knee went 2:20 into the first round and said '**** it'.

He only quit ONCE and that was under the behest of Jeff Fenech, not Mike Tyson.

Just another Tyson hater. How about looking at things objectively and then coming back with a less ****** answer?

.....He mentaly quit in all three of those fights dumb****.

He didnt get up vs douglas

I gave Tyson a 7 chin. But lets get to the real question everyone wants to know. Was it as good as James Toneys? Because he took Samuel peters bombs and evanders and Rahmans. Who would bet against Toney taking LL and Vitali bombs as well.
