    mike tyson had a great chin! but if you wanted to knock him out ud have to give him a beating for him to go down.

      It was pretty good, Lewis busted him up quite a bit too before he stopped him. Late in his career when he was getting KOed by those cans he was just giving up. That one fight he could have gotten up but he just sat there on his ass against the ropes and then said he hurt his knee as an excuse but he just didnt care at that point.

        This guy had an unbelievable chin, perhaps the strongest chin of all times. He took massive bombs from Lennox Lewis without even defending himself and wasn't even staggered ... That was just freaking unbelievable.

            McCall did it for 5 rounds while Mavrovic was taking Lennox's best shots for a whole 12. I'd have to go for Mav there.

                  Very good not great IMO he took some bombs from big punchers and even when he did lose by KO or tko he wasn't completely out.

                    Tyson had a great chin, Lewis hit him clean many times and Tyson could have got up and continued from the KO if he wanted to, he was tired and gave up.
