Did Iron mike have a iron chin?

[Unknown Champ]

I think that mike had a solid beard especially considering he fights with heavyweights. I don't remember him getting koed with one blow, and that shows his durabilty. What do you think?

deffo - mike was one tough SOB, he could take mombs from alot of other heavyweights, holyfield once remarked that mike was a real tough fighter as well.

shame he wasn't as tough mentally - whenever he came across an opponent who wasn't intimidated mike showed that he didn't really have that courage or bravery.

Hell yeh he has an iron chin..
He took monster shots from ruddock even ruddocks famous smash shot or whatever the fcuk it was called took flush monster shots and didnt budge.
Holyfield caught him with monster shots as well before stopping him on his feet after some punishment
And Lewis himself said he couldnt believe that Tyson could take so many big shots

Iron Mike 5'11 218lbs in his prime was knocking out everyone and anyone. He took some serious shots all his career and walked right through them. He took some serious punishment from Holy in the first fight and was TKO'd on his feet. Buster pounded him for 10 rounds and it was a 4 or 5 punch combo that finally put him down. he was in there with some big punchers Ruddock, Bruno, Lewis and when did get KO'd it was with combos and after several rounds of punishment. i don't even count the fights afe3r he fought Lewis cause he was already done with boxing by then. to me his career ended in the ring that night.

yep..For me he was before those ruddock fights
It was his chin and his sheer power that carried him on.
He should'nt of had to even test his chin taking those shots from razor.
And he was easy to hit in those fights as well

YEssir!!! Thats the only way he could contain the beast. He was scared of Mike. Not that he would do anything crazy just plain scared. **** I think if they met in alley tonight and nobody would be around to stop the ass whoopin Lennox would be getting his ass handed to him in more ways than one!

Definately, Mike had a great chin. On both "Legendary Nights" with the Tales of Douglas and Lewis, both times Tyson was commended for his chin, I remember Lennox saying he was "shocked" at some of the punches Mike stood up to, and that Tyson had to have been in shape in the Douglas fight because Buster a "humming him".

He lacked the mentality to not fold under pressure, I believe, once he realized it wasn't going to be as easy as he thought, it seemed like Mike sometimes just gave up hope.
