A suspect chin doesnt hold you back in boxing. Look at Klitschko! 3 knockout losses! Lewis had 2. Pacquiao had been sparked face first to sleep but still participated in the biggest match in history and some even had him favourite!
Again, Ali got dropped by a 180lb British level journeyman and in his very next fight toyed with one of the most feared fighters ever. The difference is, Clay was switched on and focussed in that fight as Tyson will be in this.
You also say he hasnt fought anyone of note. That may be partially true but he can only fight opponents who both want to get in the ring with him and also, dont pull out.
What iv seen is that bar being dropped he has beaten everyone hes fought comfortably and most cases easier than anyone else has including Vitali Klitschko. Even when hes not been in the best shape. I can see through the things you dont like, that put you off by him. You dont like his personality, thats fine but dont let that cloud judgement over his actual ability. People look at him and sometimes without even watching him fight and say his a lumox, slow cant punch etc when in reality hes one of the quickest, most agile and skilled heavies out there. He doesnt load up on his shots and is more fluid for it. A punch that lands hurts more than a telegraphed loaded up shot but he can still certainly punch as you will see. He mixes his shots up well and has stopped and dropped alot of fighters with body shots. How many other heavies do you see dropping opponents with body shots?
This weekend will clear it all up and im hoping the typical "Klitschko got old" doesnt pop up when Tyson wins.
