My opinion of Tysons chin is that he never had a great one. One thing that Tyson did have though was great head movement and he used the peekaboo style of defense brilliantly (very similar to Joe Frazier in style but without the heart or granite chin). He got away with being hurt against Bruno because Bruno was frightened to death of him and he was scared of getting knocked out with a counter punch if Tyson was "Playing Possum". IMO Tyson lost all his defensive qualities when he let Don King take control and sack Kevin Rooney who had been with Tyson for a long time.
