    I don't think Lennox had a suspect chin, he was just caught with some punches he didn't see coming, and I still believe the McCall fight was called early.

    Joe Louis has been put down by some fairly average fighters, but simply had great recuperative ability.

    Unfortunately I'd agree, the high energy and explosiveness of Tyson would have been a terrible match up for Joe.

    Lennox Lewis is probably the greatest recent fighter with a suspect chin.

    I think suspect is relative, considering who he fought. I also saw him actually walk down guys taking their best punches, namely Briggs and Klitschko.
