How do you rate these chins?

If Tua had actually tried to beat Lennox, he'd have been knocked out.

 

Tyson,cause he took the most punishment,then Holyfield followed by Tua..Vitali hasnt taken much punishment

 

vitali got sparked by oleg maskaev a tua victim

 

Vitali and Tua had A+ chins. Holyfield an A. Tyson a B+

I would say Vitlai had the best chin of the bunch, as he was hit the hardest without going down. Infact Vitali has never been down.

 

Tua
Holyfield
Klitschko
Tyson

All have excellent chins

 

Remember, even Tua has been knocked out in the first round...

But Tua was young and fought against maybe the best amateur boxer ever.

Tua hands down has/had one of the best chins ever, pretty easy top 5 contender for the best chin ever.

 

Proof?

There are videos of Tua getting sparkled, not of Vitali getting sparkled. /debate

 

Anybody can be knocked out.

And the straight right from Lewis is easily one of the most damaging "attack" boxing has ever seen.

 

Lewis threw a very brutal uppercut which really hurt Vitali.
Also Sanders hurt him.


But I don't think many boxers could still stand if they had to catch the same uppercut.

 

1. Holyfield had the best chin, he fought harder competition and fought some big monsters for a blown up cruiserweight. Those wars with Bowe

2. Tua would be a close second, but his opponents he fought weren't at the level of truly testing himself. Besides Ibeabuchi, Rahman, and Lewis.

3. Vitali has been knocked cold in mma, hurt by Sanders, and Lewis. Byrd had him stunned too. And being a 6ft 8 man, who leans back a lot with a excellent defense. He doesn't take as many flush shots than most boxers do.

4. Tyson has been rocked and hurt on numerous occasions.

 

it was a pre olympic fight, he also got ko'd in kickboxing, vitali has been hit in 2 fights vs lewis and vs sanders and he ran and held for his life in both of them. other than that his chin is unproven.

 

There is absolutely no proof out there of him getting knocked out.
