Anybody can hit the canvas if they get hit right, having a great chin is about how you react, survival instinct etc.
The same as having a shit chin is all about your reaction/instinct (e.g. Khan.)
Agree, styles as well make it a lot more interesting. That journey man they have listed was probably there to survive most of his fights. If you are a good fighter if you are just there to survive more often then not you will but you wont win the fights. I think Holyfield and Toney are remarkable as they moved up and fought big punchers, particularly Holyfield as he was there to fight. Some of Toneys fights at the higher weights he was just a journey man.
