Why do some people say Foreman had a poor chin because he went down against Ali?

    Then those same people make excuses for Joe Louis being knocked down by smaller guys. They make excuses for Muhammad Ail being knocked down by Henry Cooper and Sonny Banks two 180-190 pound guys. These same people will make excuses for Rocky Marciano getting knocked down by 160 pound Archie Moore and 190 pound Joe Walcott who were old at the time. This same people will make excuses for Tyson Fury, Wladimir Klistchko ect who all went down.

    Foreman got fatigue. A combination of throwing tons of punches and Ali draping himself over Foreman's neck. When Foreman fought Ron Lyle he was away from the ring for 2 years. He did get dropped got up and won by KO. Foreman went down for the count of one against Jimmy Young because he suffered a heat stroke.

    Do you people actually know what a poor chin means or again do you just say stuff becuase you heard other people say it or just to try to put one fighter you like over another fighter?

    Nobody says Foreman had bad chin, outside of few haters on this site.

    George's chin was pretty solid.

    Lol solid? Most true boxing fans rate George Foreman's chin to be one of the best in heavyweight history.

    I have never once seen anyone write anything deriding Foreman's chin.

    Is anyone really taking this thread seriously after reading the opening post, and dignifying it with a response?

    I can't remember every single person's screen name on this forum. But numerous people here have stated Foreman couldn't take a punch because "light" punching Ali knocked him down.

    The only weird thing is how you have been a member since 2009 and still don't know what you are talking about.
