    Yep Roy relied on his reflexes to avoid his glass chin getting shattered into pieces.

    If Toney could have beaten Tyson at any stage whilst Tyson was fighing as champion why did he not step up and ever call Tyson out?? Why did he stay at super middle? Cos he was earning more money? Of course not..Toney is overconfident and deluded. Tyson in his prime would have annialated Toney brutally. Tyson wouldn't have had any fear of Toneys power and yes whilst Toney has a great chin I've no doubt a fast prime combo throwing Tyson and with all that head movement would have found Toney quick and Toney's countering wouldn't have been effective at all. If he cant beat Griffin he's NEVER beating a prime Tyson. Total mismatch it would have been had it ever happend.

    I find it very comical that some of those saying Toney would have had a chance are the same people who are absolutely certain Tyson would steamroll Wlad and Vitali.

    Tyson would crush egg chinned Wlad easily. worst posible match up for Wlad.

    Vitali would give Tyson a hard fight tought

    :think

    I'd pick Tyson to KO Wlad and lose to Vitali.

    But lets be clear, Wladimirs chin may not be the best, but it sure as hell ain't egg shell-esque.

    If you want to believe that Wladimir has an "egg chin", go right ahead.
    But we both know that's not true.

    He's never even been truly "knocked out",as in down for a ten count.
    You would think, that in almost 60 fights as a pro, that would have had to
    happen at least once to even be considered to have an "egg chin".

    wlad does have a dodgy chin - that's why he had to changed his style.
    that's not detracting from his ability to say that - but it's true

    He has never been down for a full ten count, because ref has stopped it before that has happen. He has lots of heart and he continues to trie get up.

    However he has a weak chin, but now days he is excellent hiding that weakness, with his height, defense, jab and clinching.

    I have actually only seen his one fight against Marciano, so I cant really tell for sure.

    However I dont remember many people calling him weak chinned. I think he was dropped pretty often tought :think
