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.
