    Just like my uncle said "you'd be shocked at the number of fighters who probably use steroids". Who's to say someone like Wlad doesn't use them? Povetkin requested a roid test and he immediately turned it down. Evander was roiding up, and Pacquaio most likely does as well. Its takes more than roids to be dominant but I'm just saying.

    How does Frazier have a better chin than Marciano when he was floored by clubfighter Michael Bruce, and 2x and nearly knocked out by non lethal Oscar Bonavena?

    Mendoza,

    Steroids allow you to take a better punch as well as dish it out. More testosterone.

    I wouldn't call Bonavena "non lethel"..Frazier was just damned lucky that Bonavena didn't go for broke and whale away for a 3rd kd...but that much said, Marciano had the better chin. It's funny as hell how the revisionists have downgraded Rocky's chin the way they have.

    Done it in tiers:

    Liston (unbreakable impenetrable impervious cast iron granite)

    Lewis (impervious cast iron granite)





    Jeffries (rock solid)

    Holmes (very good)
    Tyson (very good)


    Louis (solid)
    Johnson (solid)





    Frazier (poor)






    Holyfield (absolute glass, survived largely on luck and **** opposition)

    Both McCall and Vitali deserve a place in the ATG Chin List

    agreed. to an extent. yes some were on roids. But when you say steroid freak getting all the glory i think you are mistaken!

    I am sick of pre-1965 heavyweights getting all the glor on this damn forum!

    guys like you and janitor still beleive joe louis would survive a mike tyson or Lennox Lewis:patsch

    Think about this. Wlad has defended his title what, 9-10 times already? ok. Joe louis defend his title for 11 times with quality opposition then he fought the bum of the month club with very poor opposition!:deal and that made up his 20 defenses! If Wlad defends his title 20 times I guarentee you most of you old farts will say Louis is still better!

    Even Larry Holmes probably could have eaten Louis H2H. Way too much movement and too good of a jab!
    so its the old timers that TOO much credit in my book!
