    He has a very good chin. Since which fighter we hadn't seen a chin like that one?

    hard to say, Holyfield is still fighting, and his chin is pretty incredible

    It has not been tested very much.

    Really, whilst I think of Lewis as one of the hardest hitters of all time, taking punches from one fighter on one night is no guarantee that he would take several other from a hard hitter on another night.

    If it did work like that then Lewis, minus a couple of punches, would have perhaps the greatest chin of all time.

    Most fighters with "iron chins" have had the **** kicked out of them. Look at Tyson and Holyfield.

    He doesnt get hit often enough to really judge how good his chin is, especially to compare it against the likes of Holyfield.

    Holyfield is clearly the last ironned-chinned HW. Of course, the shell of him is still around, but that's another matter.

    Marciano had a hell of a chin. Vitali's is up there.

    faze him? you mean like when he was stubling all over the ropes like a drunk in the 1st round? ..

    klitchko has a solid chin .. but his superbly under rated all time great defense is where his punch taking abilities lay

    That massive uppercut Vitali took from Lewis was nothing short of amazing. That would have put most fighters into a coma. Didn't seem to phase Vitali at all. He apparently can't be killed by conventional weapons.

    What fight were you watching, Capt. exageration?

    VK backed off and that was it. He wasn't even stunned. His eyes looked fine, his balance was fine.

    Vitali looked stunned to me in the 1st vs Sanders but no shame in that since Sanders hits like a truck
