People say Vitali has a great chin mainly because of the punches he took from Lewis. In the Tyson fight Lewis was landing about 10 uppercuts a round on Tyson that didn't even move him.

He had a great chin, his conditioning later in his career was very poor. Everyone that follows boxing knows, that if you are in good conditioning, you'll recover way faster from a big shot.Comment

Mike had a ATG chin...nothing less than GREAT imoComment

****** question, of course he did.Comment

Yes, he did.
Even when he was still some what capable, you still had to beat the **** out of him to get him out of there.Comment

Great chin. p4p all time great as he stood up to punishment from much larger men.
Buster Douglas was beating the ever living **** out of him, and even other durable HW's of the era would have been knocked out 5x over from the same amount of punishment it took to drop Iron Mike once.Comment

Tyson had a fairly solid beard in his prime days. The Williams/McBride losses he wasn't really hurt, Tyson just wasn't interested in taking anymore bombs and couldn't be assed.Comment

Good chin.
Lennox also had a good chin don't know why people say otherwise.Comment

A lot of ppl tend to rate a boxer's chin looking at the end of his career. One of Tyson's assets was his chin and defense along with all the other stuff (spped, power, intimidation, etc).
Even Lenox Lewis said that he had a good chin cause he was landing big shots that he was feeling on his fist and he was tough to put down.Comment
