Have to disagree with you about Foreman, because Tyson was a better defensive fighter than Frazier, had greater speed and dangerous with both hands.

I agree tyson had an amazing defense and could get under shots very well i feel tyson is a surperior fighter to foreman skill wise but the way foreman throws his punches from underneath like his uppercuts for example makes tysons best weapon which his bob weaving and getting under the bigger mans punches his weakness in this case which is why frazier lost and tyson even in his prime did get caught with uppercuts especially the uppercut that lifted him off his feet against tucker mike tyson had amazing balance to stay on his feet after that shot

Tyson had a 19 inch neck that also helped him take the punches, at his peak he had a very good chin.

yes it did i always thought tyson had very good chin the punches he took from ruddock and the punches he took from holyfield in the 10th round was quite astonishing if tyson had heart and was more dedicated he would of been atg i think it would of been better had he won the title when he was a bit older i think it was too much for him to handle at that time being young

Tyson did not have a great chin. Everyone who hit him cleanly hurt him and he wobbled like Bruno, Bonecrusher, Ruddock, Douglas (KO), Evander (KO), Lennox (KO).
When he let Kevin Rooney go this point was proven to me because he started to lose his old defensive style and get caught more frequently and had he been in with better people than the likes of Ruddock he would have been knocked out more times when he took these shots.

Now Evander on the other hand, if you want to talk about chin and power of recovery look at him. He used to block shots with his head and I used to think how is he still standing from that? This was a truly remarkable chin not Tysons.

Hate to disagree with you but Bruno and Bonecrusher were big punchers who could take your head off, and Tyson was stunned for milli-seconds. He took a serious beating from a big Douglas and went toe to toe with Rudduck , who KO ed Dokes unconscious and left standing with his "smash". The punches he took from Holyfield and Lewis, when he was a shell of a fighter showed he did have a very good chin.

Tyson endured a lot of punishment in those fights before being knocked out. Which proves he had a great chin.
