In terms of Lennox Lewis i know he was a big puncher but he never really struck me as a monster puncher. 32 ko's out of 41 is good but nothing out of the ordinary, i'm trying to rack my brains who were particularily durable who he stopped, Billips could stand his punches, the likes of Mercer,Holyfield x2, Tua,Mavrovic never really looked in much trouble after taking his biggest punches. The only genuinely durable fighter he stopped legitimately was Vitali Klitschko and even that was because of his cut face.
