Tyson's chin

Fukinhell, IT HAS CLEARLY BEEN EXPLAINED AND YOU REFUSE TO EVEN ACKNOWLEDGE THE POSTS IN WHICH IVE BEEN REFERRING TO FOR AGES.

 

You're delusional, in post 42, you quoted a guy saying 'good chin', and said 'far from a great chin'

 

With Tyson a lot of it was a relative (for a world class boxer) lack of mental strength, its the big difference between Ali and Tyson IMHO. Tyson sometimes "accepted" defeat, Ali didn't.

 

That's just it now.

This is the last time i post on this thread-

Tyson had a good, very good even, but not great chin. The reason his chin was not great is because he could be gotten out of there. But his chin was good, he ate some big shots from big hitters in his time, and before he was absolutely shot to bits, took a beating, a bad pounding before the stoppage was incurred. His big weakness was mental strength and inability to turn the fight around once he had met the canvas and bounced back up. He found it hard to get back into fights when the going got really really bad. If you wanna get into the left hook Evander had him down with, then check the post i made where i mention Gavilan and Basilio.

That really is that now.

 

And just to nail my colours to the mast, I'm no Tyson apologist. He had faults as a fighter, but a poor (or even mediocre) chin wasn't one of them.

 

Did you read post 29? You know, the part where this thread became embarrassing?

 

I'm not sure who said it, but he said you knock Tyson down, and he'll STAY down.

 

You seem to think attrition is a valid way to win an argument. Its not.

 

excellent chin.......... just weak mind.....:smoke:smoke:smoke:smoke

 

Tysons chin was easily top ten of all time. Disputing the fact that he could take massive shots without even blinking isn't rational.
