Worst chin - Erik Morales, Roy Jones Jr or Mike Tyson?

I wouldn't rate them with bad chins at the end of their careers. If anything Tyson was KO in his prime. Jones chin gave away till it is really weak. He gets put to sleep with ugly KOes. Jones starting with the Lou DeValle fight his chin and his defensive demeanor started to change

He lost to Barrera, and didn't look the same and everyone said he was done already. He then lost to Raheem, who wasn't much bigger at all, by complete and utter domination, getting the breaks beaten off him and that well and truly signalled the end for him. It was only then that the Pac fight got signed and done. He, as can be seen by his legs not working, was well past his best in the 2nd fight.
To say anything else is a clear sign of delusion or ******ation.

I loved watching both guys fight and if we had those type of wars still being shown boxing would be in a better place.
Let me guess, Manny was the first to really KO Barrera too right?

You're an idiot for even throwing Tyson's name in the mix. He had a good chin. He was never knocked out with one punch like the other guys you mentioned. His KO losses came late. And Jones didn't get knocked out until he was 35 and came down in weight.

It is disgraceful for you to even associate Erik Morales with having a bad chin and shows you don't know anything about boxing and probably started watching a few years ago. Erik Morales had a granite chin. He got knocked out by Garcia because he was completely shot (from so many wars and being old), and was fighting way above his best weight.
Not only was his chin amazing, but he recovered almost instantly when he was hurt. He would just fire back like his life was on the line and would hurt you right back.
