I remember, Briggs landed some good ones on Lewis in their fight and that didnt seem to affect him too much.

He has a good chin, not great but definitely good.

This video is exaggerated.

Holyfield and Mercer were not one punch knockout artists. Both needed rounds. Mercer still got his attention enough times to be noticeable.

Tua was far too small and every one of those hooks that landed had no feet under them.

For all the other examples, Klitschko, Briggs, Grant, Rahman - he was wobbled badly or KTFO.

Obviously there are worse chins, but his ranks at BEST average.

Yes, I will stop believing my eyes and start believing what you say.

Hide this from Zakman before he claims Lewis would get KO'd by Chris Byrd, James Toney, and John Ruiz.

you can't blame him, he's still reeling from the two ass whoopings that his boy holy got from lewis.

That vid just reminded me of how many good fights Lewis was in. Back in those days , he was still called a borring heavyweight, Now days though, those kinda fights would be considered top notch.

Thats a really sad reflection on the current HW scene isn't it? :verysad

Well, that's all speculation.

But what's NOT speculation is that Lewis did get taken out early by McCall and Rahman - which makes him the ONLY top level HW champ taken out early by fighters on that level, the ONLY one!:yep

Lewis's chin isn't grade A china, but it's not that solid either. The record shows that. :nod

I'd rate Lewis's chin as shaky to good

RUSKULL

Lennox's chin is fine, the shot that starched him vs. Rahman would've KO'd just about anyone. It's not a chin weakness, it's the fact he let Rahman land it in the first place. He didn't take him seriously & he paid for it. Normally Lewis has a much better defense, that was just a huge mistake vs. a good puncher at exactly the wrong time.

That's what people always say to excuse a shaky chin!! :yep

Ruskull is right,lewis had a good enough chin to beat many great punchers who occasionaly landed.. Yes he got kod twice,but both times he made big mistakes that he avenged emphatically and corrected,plus this is heavyweight boxing. Joe louis (many peoples number 1.) got koed by schmelling and got knocked down and hurt by numerous fighters. Marciano got knocked down by a lt heavy in moore. Ali got badly hurt by cruiser cooper,holy got badly hurt by bert cooper and kod clean by bowe,tyson got koed by douglas and holy,need i go on?

Are you winkys mum or something? How many punchers outside trinidad has he fought? He got floored five times in one fight v vasquez.

Is it possible that there are different types of punch resilience? It seems that Lewis was doing quite well absorbing good shots over several rounds from Mercer , Vitali and others but was vulnerable to single monster shots. Some fighters can absorb the single monster punch but succumb to accumulated pressure.

Mosley is not a puncher at 154,and if even if we believe only one of the knockdowns v vasquez was legit he was still hurt wasnt he?
Hopkins made him cry like a baby with his head,that hurt!? :smoke

enquirer
12-20-2007, 06:46 AM
So in the legit kd he wasnt hurt?
You know winky gave mosley a free shot,thats not the sign of a puncher is it? You think winky would give trinidad a free shot?
And beating vargas is special,was he not past his best?

You obviously are ignoring the fact winky got knocked down against vasquez legitimately. Oh well,carry on worshipping your idol....:patsch

Those knock outs were down to poor or lazy defence tho, not a poor chin

No heavyweight would have got up from the Rahman knock punch would they ?

There's no way whatsoever to know that. All we know is that LEWIS didn't get up.:yep

In fact, it's entirely possible that quite a few guys could have taken that punch and come back for more.
