Which fighter is most unfairly maligned for having a weak chin?

Not sure that's correct...I think he just fought the best fighters with the style to ko him...remember he was never stopped above middleweight...and that's all late in his career.

 

Do people consider Michael Spinks as having a weak chin because of the 90 second blowout against Tyson?

 

I do see your point...Steward maintained that brawling styles troubled Hearns, and that is a given...But in my opinion, by the time of the Barkley fight, Hearns definitely had some serious mileage on him...and at the higher weights the style of the fighters were different as you say...but I think Hearns respected the size difference and attempted to box and stay behind his jab more. So I'm not sure you're entirely correct either.

 

I don't.

 

No, particularly since he was really a light heavyweight. He had a superb chin at 175. I personally think he would have struggled durability wise at Heavyweight if he took on some top contenders.

 

Lol ok.

Again once he slowed a little, he started getting dropped. Is this an indicator how great his chin was, or how bad it was? To me it indicates how bad it was. Even against the De valles of boxing he could be dropped if a shot landed cleanly. Plus, the fact he was clowning didn't help the matter. But, unlike you I won't get into what you know, or don't. Ill just say we have a difference of opinion and leave it at that. Have a great day.

 

Go eat a punch from someone several weigh classes above you.

 

No, against Tyson it was more fear then his chin. From the moment he stepped in the ring against Tyson it was all over his face.

 

I can't say I blame him tbh...

 

Oh I agree lol. I'm sure almost anyone outside of Ali and a few of the internet Tough guys on this site would want to be someplace, any place else.
