    Yes. It's irrefutable. Only an idiot would disagree.

    The rest of your post is irrelevant because it's all bull****.

    Lennox lewis had the better chin withouth a doubt. If you have seen lennox's entire career, he was able to take hard shots and come through them, such as in his fight with Mercer.

    Yes, most I see on here know very little about chins.

    Wladimir gassed out in two fight = weak chin!

    Lewis is stopped early with one punch from McCall = better chin.

    Wladimir is stopped on his feet by Sanders = worst chin in history.

    Lewis is counted out on the canvas vs Rahman = very good chin.

    90% of wladimir's knockdowns would barely be called knock downs.

    Lennox did not take bombs from David Tua.

    Tua was a fat bum when Lennox fought him - go to boxrec and look at Tua's record and you'll see he was well past his prime fighting weight. He had completely lost hope that Lennox would ever fight him, and started eating cheeseburgers.

    Wlad and Lennox were both defense-first, and both had weak chins. But you guys make Lennox out to be a man who took extreme punishment, but you're ridiculous when you say that.

    Gassed out means bad stamina, not bad chin.

    Lennox didn't take extreme punishment by any means, he was a defensive fighter with an average chin. He knew the big punchers could hurt him, so he fought cautiously against them. However it's undeniable that he had a better chin than Wladimir. The countless knockdowns, 3 stoppage losses to poor opposition (You say Rahman was bad, but remember he stopped Sanders the fight before Wlad got stopped) all suggest that Lennox had the better chin by a clear margin.

    To be honest the Mccall stoppage was a little premature, not to make excuses for Lennox or anything but he wasnt really given a decent chance to continue in that fight.

    it's strange how he gasses when he's getting punched. I don't think he's gassed, i think his legs are gone. It's no surprise to see wladimir go 12 straight rounds in comfortable fashion when in total control, but when punched, he's all over the place.
