    Ok Wlad and Lewis fans, lets be real no biased talk. Who has the better chin and why? For me Lewis cause he has fought bigger punchers in Rudduck, Tua, Morrison, Briggs, Mercer, Golata, Grant, Holyfield, Tyson, Vitali and yet Lewis didn't lose by tko by either of them. Lewis only lose to 2 fighters that also have a bigger punch by tko but avenge it in Mccall and Rahman. Wlad has 3 losses to Brewster, Sanders and who? Puritty? lol you serious?

    Lewis had the better chin, Wlad is the better fighter.

    Both had their losses, both became better fighters following their losses.

    Lewis by a mile.

    I support Wlad, but he has been dropped 11 times and stopped 3. Even given that a lot of this was stamina/panic attacks/flash knockdowns, he defiantely doesn't have Lewis' beard, which looked great against big punchers, accept for the two glitches.

    Tua, Tyson, Ruddock, Briggs, Holyfield, Bruno, Mercer, Morrison. All huge hitters. All landed flush. Lewis may have been stung but he stayed vertical. A damn fine chin there

    If Vlad took those punches his brother gave Lewis, he'd be dead.

    Tua never landed a proper shot on Lennox, that was when Tua was still capable of one punching anyone with that left hook - he never once landed anything other than a glancing shot in the entire fight, Lennox did a Wlad.

    There are a few different ways to look at it. Wlad has NEVER been down for the count. He was back up and ready each and every time. Lewis has NEVER got off the canvas and continued fighting.

    Personally... I don't think that either of them have bad chins. They are two extremely talented and physically gifted fighters who only lost fights that they were supposed to win by a landslide. Clearly fights in which they underprepared and wasn't ready for their opponents. Both of them beat the best fighters that they fought.

    in the early rounds he landed a very solid left hook. it's easy to miss cause it was probably the only one but it was flush.

    Both have shaky chins. Wlad's been down more times, but Lewis has been KOd more brutally.
