Overeem does not have the chin to be a HW champion

[Clear Winner]

He might still win it,but can he keep it long? probably not

I still think Stipe can take him.

Came here to say this. Nobody's shown the combination of chin and skill needed to keep the belt at HW.

Stipe might be the man, but.....

At heavyweight anyone can be ko'd.

Well seeing as how Arlovski and Mir were champions and their chins are just as bad and aren't as skilled I don't think it will prevent him from winning the belt.

 

[hardcoreBE]

Just won against Arlovski, JDS and Nelson, aren't those hard hitters TS?

 

[froggyluv]

Makes no sense. You mean he doesnt have chin to have a long reign as HW champ? Yep chin of course matters but that doesnt ensure victory -just look at the reign of chinniest Roy Nelson..

 

[Fincher7]

All of those knockouts were avoidable, he was beating himself

Luckily Ecoreem is now here and he doesn't put his chin on display.

I think Stipe successfully defends title vs Overeem and i think he finds reems chin in a tko...
I agree and disagree with op--I think reem could win title but i dont see him holding onto it , mainly because hes so chinny.

Chins aren't as relevant at HW as they are other classes.

Reem protects his alot better now and is k-1'ing mother fuckers.

 

[I.Broke.The.Bat!]

He has the chin to become champ', because he only need to connect. But he doesn't have the chin to stay champ' IMO.

 

[tramendous]

Arlovski was the UFC HW champ.

Does Arlovski have a good chin?

yes he does

You can say that about anybody
