He had an "ok" chin... but clearly it was tested all but twice in a real serious way, one in which he weathered the storm vs. Shavers and the other he was clubbed to near death vs. Tyson.
The other knockdowns and rocks weren't that much of a punch to stop anyone: Witherspoon wasn't a top finisher, neither was Weaver or Snipes. He just got clipped like everyone else does from time to time.
But, I do give him an "ok" chin with respect to the Shavers fight. But an "ok" chin was what it was.
You know who I considered having a GREAT chin- Evander Holyfield, Riddick Bowe, James Toney, Randall Tex Cobb, David Tua and Vitali Klitschko. Those guys took not just one shot, BUT MULTIPLE BOMBS and kept coming at ya. Holmes was just "ok"...
