Tyson has the better chin. Guys have landed their hardest shots against a prime Tyson and his head might go back a little, but he hardly backed up. Currently, Holyfield was knocked out by Toney. I highly doubt Tyson would be. Bowe wouldn't have knocked Tyson out either.
Then again, Lennox didn't knock Holyfield out. But again, Holyfield wasn't doped up on zoloft and Holyfield was favored to win. That does make a difference.
Both guys have good chins. But if it were a street fight, who would you rather have on your side? You know in your heart of hearts, you'd want Tyson. The intimidation alone would probably be enough. But I think anybody would agree that Tyson would be the better street fighter. So, I give him the tilt on good chin.
The only thing is Holyfield is a lot more used to getting hit than Tyson. Unfortunately, Tyson has started getting used to it himself.
Tyson seems to have a better capacity for punishment also since he still talks normal. Or...he at least talks like he's always talked. While Holyfield has done about like Rid**** Bowe and slurs his speech heavily now.
Holyfield took some of Tysons punches and didn't get knocked out. So, he clearly has a great chin and great heart. Nobody can deny Holyfield's heart. He hasn't ducked people. As much as I dislike him as a person, I do like him as a fighter.Comment
