    Frazier had a good chin.
    Anyone who questions it is being silly.

    The case against Norton is much stronger.

    :deal
    knock down is not knock out, ali was knocked down by henrry cooper,banks or frazier.
    and nobody never questioned his iron chin.
    bonavena was a ****ing animal, a very strong guy and his style was competent against frazier. foreman is top 2 hardest puncher ever and still he could not ko frazier for the count.
    marciano was down by men who were not even hws and few people question his chin. tyson was stopped in every defeat and some fans claim that he had iron chin...
    frazier had a ****ing very good chin

    I would agree on Joe Frazier,,,,,nobody put him down for a 10-Count,,,

    And besides Smokin Joe, who woud have the chin to withstand that upper-cut
    by George Foreman (1st Round, and 2nd Knock-down), and get up.

    I thought Foreman had Norton down twice.

    The first knock-down was not a knock-down.
    Ken was hurt along the ropes, and the referee issued a standing 8-count.

    His claim, was the ropes prevented Ken from going down.

    Same-thing on the second knock-down.

    The third one,,,,,,,,,,well you know the story,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    I agree, personally i think the rematch with Foreman demonstrated he had a solid chin, he took heavy bombs & kept coming forward.
