    He had to take a sustained beating before he would be knocked out, like any other great chinned fighter.

          He should've been called the iron bull instead of atomic bull. I'll never forget the fight where he waved Lennox in and was taking flush shots before they stopped it. Plus going 12 rounds with hard hitters like Holmes, Bruno, Douglas and Tucker. I can't even remember Oliver being knocked down in 70 professional fights.

            Tyson had a good chin, the reasons for his KO losses were fatigue, he had horrible stamina in late rounds, it was due to the fact that he suffered an athsma like disorder, I'm not sure the name of it, but it affected his breathing. Couple this with poor training habits after Kevin Rooneys exit resulted in crappy stamina and being knocked out.

                  he sure did. only reason he lost a couple of fights was because his conditioning at times was so bad. but overall, tyson could take a massive punch

                      I've always felt that his chin was severely underrated.
