    Foreman gave him some shakey moments. If he was a bit faster it could have been trouble

    He has been banged up a lot in his long career and he has proven he can take punches . . . so I'll say . . . "great".

    Great chin, the man has taken it from all and still kept coming, definitely legendary.

    Probably about a 8 or 9 on a scale of ten. Not quite McCall or Chuvalo's level, but darn close.

    Prety great. Not the absolute greatest chin the heavyweight division has ever seen but he's just a notch below that... probably due to the fact that he's a naturally smaller man than the majority of opponents he's faced.

    Holy's chin surprised everyone with a brain, cuz back in 1988, hardly anyone thought he'd handle a true heavies blow to the chops...... Holy's chin is solid......

    for the heavyweight devision as a whole? great.
    for his size and the damage he has taken? ****ing granite.
    just read the interview with him in boxing news, his professionalism is top notch.

    Great chin!

    You probably didn't even need the bottom three options...and the only reason you would need the 'Good' option would be to make it an actual poll.
