    I feel F.Bruno displayed a dreadful chin when he was hurt by the journeyman Jumbo Cummings and stood lifeless in the middle of the ring, but Audley Harrison had an even worse chin, who would fans add to this list?

    At the highest level it's probably Patterson

    Bruno's chin wasn't the problem, it was his reaction to being hurt & poor recuperative powers.

    Bruno got tagged by a real good shot and was out on his feet ,the bell saved him,I don't think that showed he had a,"dreadful chin". Joshua was dropped repeatedly by less powerful punches and eventually stopped .

    Knocked out the same amount of times as Tyson, I think. Faced fewer punchers, but was much smaller.

    Harsh.

    I believe he is, something like 22 times but he had 64 fights.Ingo must account for about 9 of those kd's,Decent punchers like Bonavena,Ellis,Powell,Cooper,Moore didn't floor him.

    You`re right about Paterson`s size and he couldn`t have taken the shots Tyson took off Ruddock, nor could he have taken the amount of shots Mike got hit with by Holy in their 1st fight and finishing on his feet, nor could he have taken the left hook Bruno hurt Tyson with in the 1st round of their 1st clash or te punishment Mike took from Buster for 10 rounds.

    Hmm, at a high level I’d say, Patterson, Morrison, Bruno, Wlad was always considered Chinny...
