    Do you think that one big shot would have knocked these two guys out cold as well?

    Lenni keeps mentioning that rahman threw a great punch which his chin got in the way off.

    No.

    Both would have survived it.

    The again, Lewis might not have lost to Douglas or Moorer.

    Lewis vs Rahman #1 was one of the lower intensity championship fights I have ever seen until the KO punch.

    Anyone can get knocked out by a punch.

    Rahman had big cannons. I think that if he connected on anybody just right it was goodnight.

    Rubbish. Holyfield, Tyson, Foreman beg to differ. Just desperate excuses for girly Lenni.

    The idea is not to get hit.
    Maybe that punch would have KO'd anyone. Who knows, who cares. It was Lennox's job to avoid getting hit flush but instead he stood there grinning asking to be chinned like a sucker.

    Does Lennox Lewis get knocked out by James Toney? Does he get kayoed by Danny Williams? Does a 38 year old Mike Tyson survive the punches of Vitali Klitschko? Does a 38 year old Tyson survive Kevin McBride?

    I think the OP knows the answer to all those questions but he'll struggle to answer them and still say 'Girly Lenni glass jaw' which he adds to virtually every post and if he can't shoehorn it in then starts a pointless thread of his own which I've been daft enough to get drawn into.

    Lewis' chin survived hard shots from Bruno, Mercer, Klitschko. He got in with Mason, Ruddock, Tua, Morrison, Grant, Tyson, Golota, Briggs, Holyfield. He survived more hard hitters than Bowe and had the courage to get in with far more.

    The irony of a keyboard warrior incessantly calling Lennox 'girly' is beyond parody. And who, secure in their own masculinity, uses the word 'girly' anyway? Did the OP google 'girly man pounded in the ring' and end up here by mistake?

    Holyfield and Tyson would have taken that shot with their eyes closed. People need to stop making pointless excuses for girly lenni.

    Holy barely took a shot from former cruiserweight and late sub Bert Cooper.

    Did he go down by one big shot to the face? Did Tyson ever go down by one big shot to the face?

    No right. So then Shut up and quit lobbying for the chinny girl.

    If they wasn't ready for it and was in a relaxed state of body like Lennox was then it would of koed them.

    Not really, those guys could that punch with their eyes closed and in a drunk state. You could sucker punch these guys all night long, they will still take it.

    People need to get over chinny girly lenni
