Thread: Anyone Who Says Tyson Had No Chin Or No Heart Haven't Watched Ruddock Fights

bit of mind changing going on ay ICE
prime tyson had a ton of heart, chin, determination and stamina

......im glad u appreciate the ruddock fights as much as i do! they were brutal wars

The fights with Ruddock were when he was on the slide, he had less technique and it was you hit me and I hit you and we will see who is the last man standing. They said at the time that he was the oldest 24 year old in the world. There was another thread which said he avoided Foreman but he was taking a peak and dangerous fighter in Ruddock , who took the head off Dokes with that uppercut/left hook of his. Ruddock ended up with broken jaw and battered ribs and was never the same and Lewis finshed him off. Tyson would have stopped Ruddock if it was in his peak years.

No mate i just don't think he is unbeatable but i still think he had great chin to withstand them shots off Ruddock and yes they were great fights always enjoyable.

Tyson always had a chin, his head was the problem...The problem I have with the Ruddock fights is that to me they clearly show how far Mike had slipped...In those fights a "B" level fighter like Ruddock was able to hit Mike all too often, gone was the tyson head movement...In Mike's prime Ruddock lasts 3 rounds maybe and we never have to see how good tyson's chin is, because Razor never hits him...

I think Mike was really sharp in first Ruddock fight with his body shots ect in 2nd fight for some reason he looked worse and he didn't go to the body as much.

In his KO losses to Douglas, Holyfield, and Lewis, he only went down after absorbing dozens of punches that would've knocked out anyone else.

Im with SweetPea on this one...Actually I don't know of anyone with real boxing knowledge that has said Tyson has no chin....Mike has never been KO'd easy....His loss to Douglas was an out of shape Tyson who in all reality KO'd Buster earlier in the fight but that was screwed up......Point is he took a lot of shots before falling.....


Same with Holyfield.....Took a lot of punishment before fight being stiopped....

Williams and McBride did not fight the real Mike Tyson they fought a shell of a guy who did not want to be in the ring...Mike wasn't even hurt in the McBride fight he just quit....

Mikes Chin during his prime is one of the best ever in any weight class
