    floyd patterson's chin was worse than wlad at heavy, he was basically a light heavy/cruiser though so his excuse was more valid.

    Danny Williams chin let him down against Vitali after holding on against Tyson in the start and spectacularly stop him in Kentucky soon afterwards. Wladimir chin comes to mind even though his long reach and height advantage has protected him since the first Brewster fight. Michael Moorer was also a good fighter but his chin was **** and that goes too to Marvin Johnson when he lost to Matthew Franklin, Michael Spinks, Eddie Gregory and Leslie Steward showing a lot of heart and despite having been a two time WBA title holder and a former WBC LHWT Champ and gold medallist for the USA in the amteurs really came to prove they were unworthy professionals in Henry Tillman, Tyrell Biggs and most unfortunatelly in his only loss, Michael Spinks.

    Can't believe people are saying Lewis had a weak chin.

    He got tagged with two big shots that would have knocked out anyone. Apart from those two shots, his chin was solid.

    It's like saying Ali had a weak chin as he got his ass handed to him with big lefts from Cooper and Frazier.

    I don't think many people could have taken that punch
     
  9. Lewis was hit with countless punches that would have

    killed people

    Wladimir got a weak chin, but he protects it well now

    "That punch would have KO'd anyone" :rofl:rofl:rofl (with a glass jaw)

    CLASSIC brittard line. No wonder you guys have so many premade excuses when you're consistently voted as having the worst chins in the sport.
