Rate Foremans chin?

I give it a 9. He only got kayoed from exhaustion.

Dive for coke money. Cobb was in there with a few fighters well known for taking dives like Sonny Barch.

Anyway, 70's George had an 8, 8.5 out of 10 level chin.

Comeback George, 9.5 or so.

 

Source?

I've read a few reports and believe myself it was obviously fishy, but you've obviously got to the guts of the matter and i'd like to get goods so i can put it to bed.

 

Foreman during his comeback had a fantastic chin, a 9 at least.

During his prime, on the other hand, i'd give it a 7. He was nearly out against Lyle, knocked out by Ali and down by Young..... yes, he was exhausted, but he was exhausted during some of his comeback fights as well, as well as plenty of other fighters, like Ali vs Frazier.... yet they kept upright at the end. I think it counts against him. On the other hand, his balance and defence were absolutely horrible, unlike most top boxers, so that means his chin is a bit better than the knockdowns might suggest.

 

9 seems about right. Later in his career it seemed better, only because he didn't take many risks and thus was rarely hit with big shots he didn't see coming. The fact that Foreman wasn't dropped more with his style speaks volumes about his chin.

 

8.75 outta 10

 

They had an entire friggin' 60 Minutes special on with a Barch interview. The episode was called "The Fixer'.

 

He had a good chin,i think only Ali really hurt him.

 

and the extra weight would maybe have helped with punch resistance ?

 

As if i would have seen the friggin' thing out here. So this episode proved beyond doubt Cobb took a dive for coke money in the Collier fight? Enlighten me.

 

If this post was called how good was Rocky Marciano's chin everybody here would give him a 10 even though he was knocked down with one punch by a 40 year old blown up middleweight but Foreman's chin isnt a 10? Foreman fought from the age 38 to 48 and wasnt knocked down. Foreman's chin is a 10 period.

 

Who is this chris warren character? comes out of nowhere in threads critisizing marciano. I swear what did rock ever do to have so many haters?

 

It's the newest incarnation of Pepping it/Revolver/etc.

 

Foremans chin without a doubt is a 10, who would argue lol?
