Fight and beat more legitimiate iron-chinned warriors during his time at HW, than any other fighter? Oliver McCall Ray Mercer Evander Holyfield Vitali Klitschko David Tua Surely these men are the top 5 chins at HW in the modern era, whatever order you may rank them. And Lennox has W's over all of them. And it isn't including Tyson (who was faded but still could take a punch) Don't mean to make two chin threads in the space of 10 minutes...and I probably should leave it to the pros. Maybe not even at HW, in any division, have any other fighters stepped into the ring with so many people would would have to be hit with a sledgehammer to put them down? Not only that but he visibly hurt all of them.
Do you actually know Lewis stopped none of them apart from Vitali on cuts and McCall by breakdown? Although I'm a big Lewis fan it's not a great a feat to beat a guy with a good chin via UD.
Not saying its better of course, but pac: morales,barrera,Oscar,mosley,margarito is pretty solid as well. Froch recent opposition as well.
I remember his tune up fight for Ruddock against Mike Dixon. Although not a threat to Lewis, Dixon took some heavy shots flush and remained standing. Check it out if you have'nt seen it.
Ok mate. Pacman has fought Mosley, Barrera, Morales, Margarito, Hatton, Marquez, De La Hoya, Clottey they all have good to great chins. Froch was already mentioned, he's fought some very tough guys with good chins. Cotto fought Malignaggi, Margarito, Ndou, Mosley, Clottey, Urkal
Lewis also beat many great left hookers the sport has ever seen. Tyson Tua Morrison Ruddock People who pick Joe Frazier over Lewis are delusional. As great as he is, Joe Frazier is a small one dimensional who relies heavily on his left hook. He is hopeless against a guy like Lewis.
This topic is going in the classic now mate. Check it out if you haven't already. Just don't say Frazier is one dimensional. :!:
Sorry mate, but Fraizer is one dimensional. He knows only one way to fight - go forward. Period. He is so limited in his style of fighing that even when he was against a much bigger puncher Foreman, he still fought the way he always did. He got KOed. Now one would think he learned his lesson and adopted some new techniques when he fought a rematch with Foreman. But no, he just does not know how to fight any other way.
