He got one-shotted by Rahman, fighters with ¨good chins¨ dont get disgracefully destroyed in one shot like that, unless said fighter is well past his prime or the punch is Tua's left hook or something.
39 year old semi retired golfer beats Wlad in his prime This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected
Never recovered from accidental headbutts. Another example what can happen when two heads collide after a punch: David Tua knocked out in 20 seconds. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLb3BwK9LXo[/url]
Wasn't Purrity also past his Prime! An Elite fighter shouldn't get embarassed by Past their prime non World class Fighters.
Purrity was a journey man with about as many losses as wins on his resume Yet his went into Wlad's house and nearly rendered him unconscious I still find it hilarious how nearly every punch Sanders hit Wlad with hurt him ... not even Amir Khan has a jaw like that
I think it should be pretty clear to anyone without preconceived notions that Lennox's chin was above average. The only two times he was stopped were from flush shots from two big punchers, one of which he wasn't given a fair chance to recover from, despite being up before the count of ten. The other was just a huge huge shot that would have felled almost anyone had it landed in the same way. Considering this is the heavyweight division, where one punch can totally turn a fight around, it's pretty ridiculous to draw any sorts of conclusions from said KOs aside from the fact that Lennox doesn't have an absolutely legendary jaw. Barring that, what other heavyweight, except perhaps Holyfield, has ever taken on the wealth of punchers that Lennox fought? He fought Briggs, Mercer, Tua, Tyson, Vitali, Bruno, Morrison, Golota and was even never down once. That either speaks for phenomenal defensive abilities or a pretty sturdy set of whiskers.
What are you trying to prove with this? That Wlad also has a ¨good chin¨? This is interesting, because Wlad is considered chinny despite never being KO'd in his career, not even by Sanders, a huge puncher and harder hitter than Rahman, yet Lennox has a ¨good chin¨ despite being one-shot KO'D by Rahman, a C-Level and one of the worst hw champions in history
Being KOed doesn't mean being KOed in shitschko land anymore Sanders became a "huge puncher" after KOing Klitschko LOL Wlad was hurt by every single punch Sanders threw and was down multiple times ... and this was his prime ... and he had his guard up the entire time and most likely saw everything that came at him Lewis was caught by a monster punch he didn't see during the tail end of his career ... that punch from Rahman would've retired Wlad
Wlad wasn't Knocked out COLD like Lewis was, Wlad was TKO'd and got up 2 times and the referee stopped the fight, Lewis got KO'd and stood down punching the air. And everybody who got hit by Sanders left was hurt or KO'd, early on in any fight Sanders was dangerous against ANYONE. Sanders was always a huge puncher, he didn't became one for beating Wlad who doesn't have the best of chins. The punch that KO'd Lewis wasn't sneaky or anything, dont make **** up. It was a telegraphed punch and he saw it, but couldn't dodge because it was too close and he didn't have his guard up because he was too busy showboating moments before. He still got ONE SHOT KO'D, like any poor to average chin would do when it gets caught with something BIG
Sanders was a fast snappy puncher, and very dangerous for anyone, but Rahman was the heavier handed guy and more likely to put your lights out with one shot. They were both huge punchers though, so it's a little silly to even be arguing this.
Average at best. Getting cleanly KO'd by one punch twice does not a good chin make. It doesn't matter that he avenged the defeats. He couldn't beat the count from a single punch, multiple times. His chin is average.
If hard hitting heavyweights land massive hayemakers like Rahman and McCall landed,you get knocked out, I dont care who you are.
