Arguably best chin in HW

[Venom]

Ngannou imo has the best chin right now. He's never even been stunned, let alone KOd.

 

[SherdogFan23]

Here comes the hype train.... all aboard. lol

 

[shrdgr]

Tuivasa got rocked by Hardy, dropped by Ivanov and JDS, and finished by Ismael Lazaar and Peter Graham.

 

[Broad Blade]

His chin is made out of steel.

 

[Blazmo]

Correct. He has never been knocked out.

If you mean literally KO'd then that's true for a lot of fighters who don't necessarily have iron chins.

 

[NGute87]

We found Derrick lewis' greatest weakness.
Fat Samoans!
Lewis vs Tafa next

 

[NGute87]

Of all the fights that went on, I enjoyed this one the most!

anybody got a gif sequence of that onslaught from black beast?

Didn't Stipe make him do the stanky leg before getting KO'd himself? Or has that since been ruled a "slip" or something?

 

[Enigma87]

Didn't he get TKOd by old man JDS?

They both did

 

[Enigma87]

Yes it's not like Tuivasa has ever been KO'd before, certainly not by B-level kickboxers and old man JDS right?

Almost like people improve. Crazy stuff

Several people say this. Maybe I don't know my Ngannou stats, but how many times has he really been cracked? It's like saying someone with 100% TDD is amazing but they've only been shot on 5 times.

 

[PPVpoints]

who also TKOd Lewis after Tai

JDS is one of the goat HWs. His title run was the best! Even in his loss to Ngannou, JDS showed an excellent chin as he never went out. JDS just turtled up at the end and even with free punches Ngannou couldn't knock him out. Prime JDS merks Ngannou and a fight with prime Fedor would just be glorious for us fans.

@KazDibiase should definitely have it sir.

 

[Mavrilicious]

Lewis just cant crack those Samoan skulls

First Mark Hunt now Tai

Calling it now. Tai Tuivasa is this generation's Mark Hunt. Only hopefully with championship skills (he does seem to be developing).

That being said, Lewis's wrestling was impressive

 

[ClosetVitorFan]

Does Tai have Homer Simpson’s disease?

 

[usernamee]

@KazDibiase should definitely have it sir.

I checked his KO GIF thread of the fight but didn't seem to be there

Well we should storm his castle and demand an explanation sir lol.

Granted that he doesn't get hit much, but he has taken some very hard shots and it's because of the way he reacted to those shots that makes people think he has the best chin.

People say Stipe hurt him in both fights. Jury is out on that. Personally I don't think so, the first fight he was extremely exhausted and wobbling before he even got hit, then he got hit and continued to wobble and hit back. Second fight he got hit hard by that counter but the same thing happened: Ngannou strikes back immediately. Losing his footing due to the force of a punch is being seen as him being hurt but I don't think he was.

He did, but Tai was only like 23 or 24 years old (and he started his career pretty late in his life), fighting a very experienced Vet and one of the best HW's of all time.
