Chin, recuperative powers and heart

How would rate the following heavyweight boxers in the 3 categories using ‘poor’, ‘average’, ‘good’ and ‘great’ as the ratings:

Frank Bruno:
Chin = ?
Recuperative powers = ?
Heart = ?

Joe Frazier:
Chin = ?
Recuperative powers = ?
Heart = ?

Mike Tyson:
Chin = ?
Recuperative powers = ?
Heart = ?

 

Yep, I basically agree with all of those.

Frazier’s heart is a 10/10 - I don’t think anyone ever showed greater heart than him. He also showed he could recover from knockdowns. He had a decent chin but ran into one of the five best punchers in heavyweight history twice.

Bruno’s chin could have been above average but his reaction was to stand still once hurt and ship punishment. He was like a deer in headlights once he was hurt. He never once showed any real ability to rebound from being hurt. His heart was decent enough (against Tyson in the first fight and against Lewis) except for the Tyson rematch where he was clearly scared shitless.

Tyson had a solid chin and took a lot of flush shots against guys like Douglas and Holyfield but he never came back from the brink. The Holyfield rematch was a quit job, really. But he showed a heck of a lot of heart against Lewis when he was taking a slow pounding.
