Ali was floored, he was not however knocked out cold. Lewis was put on ***** street by McCall and knocked out cold by Rahman, who were certainly no better HWs than Cooper. Lewis is, in fact, the only top level HW champ knocked out early twice by fighters at this level when he held the title. The only one.
Lewis, but neither had a glass jaw, actually both were good, Hatton's was better. Hatton's chin is vastly underrated. He ate some hellish shots throughout his career and kept going. Yanks think he had a glass jaw cause they only saw him at the end of his career when a bad lifestyle and career of almost no defense finally caught up with him. Not to mention it happened against two of the greatest fighters of our generation. Yes Hatton was hurt many times in his career but he held it together and found a way to win the fights. May and Pac are the only ones to stop him. And unlike guys like Mosley, Clottey, ect, Hatton actually tried to win, he would put himself in situations that would make or break him. The other guys wouldn't risk it and were fine with losing a lopsided UD. I don't see any honor in that. I respect Hatton. He's tough as nails and went a lot further with a lot less then super talented guys like Judah who are so fooking celebrated on these forums...
Hatton should make a comeback and go for a rematch with Pacquiao. I always thought if he could get his lifestyle right and get his old coach back he'd have a real chance of winning. It's a shame how he went out in that last match but he's still not old yet.
You know nothing about boxing. Lennox was not knocked out cold against Oliver McCall, he was stopped on his feet. At least you could have done a bit of research before starting this **** thread you ****ing clown.
I take it these are the types of thread we get before a big fight weekend. whats next britney vs christina.
Lol so anyone that get's knocked out has a glass jaw? Even if those shots landed perfectly causing massive snap of the head? Also I'm pretty sure this thread did have "glass" in the body until you edited it. If so Manny should be in there too as he was knocked out by lighter guys that arguably didn't connect as well in the KO punch as the fights you put up there. You really know your Boxing, you must have studied this subject specifically at kindergarten. I'm definitely going to be following your posts carefully in future in the hope I can learn something.....
Yes I confess. I dont know alot about the sport like you but I want to learn. Maybe I should have named the thread "Better Jaw: Lewis or Ricky".
:-( This is just sad...They dont have the best chins in the business or in history for that matter but they dont have a glass chin by any means! Be for real!
Hatton's jaw is worse, but it's not like both of them haven't got great jaws. Hatton almost got diced by Lazcano. It were embarassing. Nobody talks about that anymore. :think
