    Rate Hasim Rahman's chin

    A poster here believes that Rahman's chin was "solid" because he at the very least was getting routinely KFTO by punchers and he was able to survive the blitz from the fearsome Corrie Sanders.

    His chin was solid. His problem was getting hit flush by hard shots from punchers. I think his chin is better than Lewis or Vlad, they just have better defense. Not too many fighters would be able to handle the bombs that KO'd Rahman if they were hit the same way, it's heavyweights so almost everybody has a punchers chance.

      He had a solid chin, no pillowfisters ever hurt him or even guys with modest power. He has been dropped and ko'd but only by fighters who can crack other than later in his career but prime Rahman could take a shot.

          his chin was descent but didn't have enough defense to make up for it. if your chin is only average and you don't have a great defense in the heavyweight division youre not going to last long

            Better poll might be to Rate Rahman's two heads.

              Rahman was one of those guys that could withstand a sledgehammer to the head IF... he knew it was coming.

              If it was a punch he never saw coming, not so much. ***** street.

                  Yeah, it's a few years old. At the time, it was relevant (during the two fights with Peter). Now, James is known more for his stogies than for his fists.
