    And you know this....maaaaan!! Kid Dynamite had mad chin!

      Early on in fights Mike's chin was fantastic. He could walk through ridiculously hard shots. However unlike Holyfield, Ali or Foreman he didn't have a very durable chin, his punch resistance tended to fade with his energy levels into the later rounds of fights.

                Douglas - 10 round beating with clean hard shots before a 5-6 CLEAN punch KO

                Holyfield - pounding with clean shots by an accurate and determined Holy and TKOed on his feet

                Lewis - beaten up by a 250lb man who has a great punch for 8 rounds before being caught with a monster right hand that would have felled just about anybody. Tyson wasn't out cold or anything, he just loses energy quickly post Holyfield

                Anything after Lewis, Tyson just gave up because physically and mentally he wasn't into it anymore.

                I'd say he had a very very good chin...his mentality usually gave in which caused him to take more unecessary clean punches where his chin held up only so much..he IS human...

                    Generally Mike just didn't want to get up. I don't really remember him being insensible, mostly just bewildered and demoralized.
