    Definety Lemieux.

    Kirkland and Khan have one of the worst chins in boxing history.

    That's arguable. Percentage wise, Stevens has been KO'd more than either of them.

    Back to the point, Lemieux's KO was very impressive.

    Lemieux since it was a really short hook that didn't look like it hold much power and still managed to knock him out cold.

    Kirkland and Khan were much easier as neither had a chin Whereas Stevens was known for a rock solid chin. Lemieux did what GGG could not.

    Lemieux has the better win. I actually quite rate Stevens as a fighter, a very dangerous guy himself. Knocking out Amir Khan ranks next to going out for gelato in difficulty.

    Two of. They don't share custody of a single chin.

    Lemieux obviously!! It doesn't mean that he is a better fighter than Canelo of course.
    Going into Lemieux-Stevens, everybody was expecting an even competitive fight. A battle of attrition and for about 2 rounds it looks that way, until a combo of straight right and left hook separated Stevens from his senses.

    Canelo-Kirkland always had that prerequisite of whether Kirkland is with ann Wolfe, which I thought is nonsense. Kirkland looks good if his opposition levels allows him to be so. Kirkland is slower, less skilled and had been sparked by light punchers. It's a fight to make canelo looks good and it serves the purpose.
