    Tyson wins. He was just a better fighter, and had a sturdy chin which makes Earnie’s “puncher’s chance” even smaller.

    Tyson would usually take a beating for awhile before he dropped.

    Very good I would say, yes McCall was likely the Best Ever.
    But if you use the words "even worse than"...It sounds like you meant Tyson had a bad chin. You just used the wrong phrasing.
