Who would you say are inducted hall of fame fighters with the worst chins? Roy Jones Jr and Thomas Hearns immediately spring to mind. & Diego Corrales Mike Tyson Lennox Lewis Wladimir Klitschko Floyd Patterson
Mike Tyson??? The guy took Lewis' bombs for 8 rounds while being completely shot. Ruddock couldn't drop him with his best shots. The guy had at least 8-8.5 chin on a scale of 10
Remove Tyson. I might need to make a post to educate some of you on here about the psychology of the Chin.
Dunno about Jones. Can’t really remember anyone hurting him bad or even rocking him when he was young an at his best. Did he always have a weak chin but people just couldn’t catch him flush at his best when he was moving like greased lightning or maybe once he was koed for the first time he chin was just completely shot an any solid shot after that would’ve koed him?
Out of the selections: Roy Jones Jr: showed absolutely no chin deficiency in his prime Thomas Hearns: everyone who stopped him could bang. And he was only blown out early once, against probably the physically largest MW ever, who it should be noted beat the beejesus outta him in the rematch and didn't stop him. Diego Corrales: Floyd wore him down to a stoppage and Castillo came in as a giant. He's also taken and fired back from guys who arguably punch harder than both. Mike Tyson: you had to beat on him over multiple rounds. Never blown out early by anyone in his entire career. Lennox Lewis: only even down twice in his entire career Wladimir Klitschko: below average chin Floyd Patterson: pretty weak chin TBH, no arguments So out of these men, only two really fit the bill.
