    I would say that Frazier has the better chin, looking at the issue through the lens of Foreman Vs. Frazier 1.
    Being knocked down 6 times, and standing all 6 times before the referee counts to 10. And those are not just anyone's punches, but Foreman's punches.

    AJ showed it to be pretty average.

    Or at least proved that no matter how good your chin is, if it keeps getting hit it will eventually crack.

    Foreman KO1. Ngannou leaves in a meat wagon as I said earlier.

    George never got taken out during his comeback I see no reason at all why Francis can knock George out.

    The Francis fights are evidence Foreman would do worse in the current era--which is clearly worse than the 90's when he won the championship...? This era where guys like Derek Chisora, Dillian Whyte, and Chris Arreola are considered top 10 worthy boxers who get title shots...?

    Joshua drilling Francis in 2 making him look like a tomato can is proof Foreman would do just as bad, because Joshua is a good parallel to Ali...?

    I would actually pay $5 to see if you could say these things on-camera without cracking a smirk. :lol:

    Instead of admitting Francis was a hype job and that Foreman should be favored to win, you throw Foreman under the bus with him. You are more predictable than the weather in San Diego. :facepalm:
