Lol it’s all good. Not trying to get anyone, I just think all 4 of them are very close with good/great chins. I think Frazier gets a bad rap that the others might share had they fought Foreman twice. But I still see Frazier at the 5...the other 4 I couldn’t argue against either way a whole lot
A good chin is not going down in the first place. Amir Khan and Terry Norris had plenty of flash knockdowns 1. Old Foreman(due to size, allowing him to push back his opponents and deny them forward momentum, relaxation in the ring and stamina management) 2. Holyfield 3. Young Foreman/tyson even (both take a great punch but are vulnerable when tired) 4.Holmes( very good chin but could be dropped by single punches, great survival skills and heart) 5. Frazier( good chin, could reliably taketa shot from average punchers but was hurt and dropped easily by the 2 Punchers he fought Foreman and bonavena, tremendous heart and conditioning.)
Foreman Tyson Holyfield Holmes Frazier All of these men had good/great chins. But, in ranking them, I feel there is a difference between having great recuperative powers as opposed to having a great chin. Both Tyson and Foreman (and to a slightly lesser extent Holyfield) had an excellent ability to take hard shots without going down. Holmes was dropped by several fighters with one shot. But, he had an incredible will and great recuperative powers to get up and fight on. Mike Tyson was never dropped (or really, even phased by shots like that in his prime) It was sustained beatings by Douglas and Holyfield that got him to fall. Certainly one could argue that Holyfield and Holmes would never have allowed beatings like that to occur in the first place. But, if they did, they would have been knocked out far sooner. Ranked by recuperative powers: Holmes Holyfield Frazier Foreman Tyson Using the combined good chin/good recuperative powers hybrid: Foreman/Holyfield/Holmes (Tie) Tyson Frazier Bottom line: None of these ATGs were easy to get out of there.
