Is Lennox Lewis chin closer to glass or granite?

So Lews dropped by two oppents his whole career? Rahman and Mccall are hardly Cunnigham, Flirtha, Scroniers or Nicholls level.

Yet lewis was able to beat the likes Vitalli, Hollyfield, Tyson, Mercer, Morrison, Tua, Golota, Bruno Ruddock etc without being dropped. Seems its clear he didn't have a glass jaw.

 

Was glass in two bouts.

 

If glass is 0 and granite is 10? I would give Lewis a 7 or 8

He had a good chin despite the stoppages. That Rahman shot would take out the majority of heavies. It was an absolute bomb landed to perfection

 

^This^ plus the war he had with Briggs, that fight was awesome!

 

Took big punches off Bruno, Vitali, Briggs, Mason, Tua, Tucker, without going down now let me just read out some stats.

Mason = 37 wins 34 KO
Briggs = 60 wins 53 KO
Bruno = 40 wins 38 KO
Vitali = 45 wins 41 KO
Tua = 52 wins 43 KO
Tucker = 57 wins 47 KO

Anyone who says Lewis has a glass chin is clueless.

 

Lewis is neither but he was certainly in with some dangerous punchers and other than two fights managed to weather the storm and overcome adversity. The likes of of Briggs and Vitali certainly shook him yet he came out on top.
The people who screech glass are being unreasonable and inconsistent as these rules only apply to fighters they dislike.

 

Excellent post mate.

 

More like wood. Could break when hit with something very hard, but not shatter like glass.

 

Closer to glass relative to his level, hence he's the only reigning champ in history to get one-punch KO'd not once but TWICE, and by fringe contenders who were not known as being hellacious punchers. It was his size and defence that saved him from being KO'd more, like post-Steward Wlad.

 

Lennox had a good chin, his only stoppages came against opposition that he wasn’t the most motivated for and got caught. He took on and beat some really good punchers guys like Mercer, Vitali, Evander, Tua, Rahman, Briggs, Morrison, Grant , Golota, etc.

He should not be categorized in the glass chin department.

 

That might be so however one of those stoppages was dubious to say the least....it also ignores the fact he traded against many heavy handed boxers and came out on top.
So no it doesn't tell you everything at all.

 

How does that remotely make sense? he beat everyone else in a good era.

 

Granite. He was down twice in his career despite fighting many punchers and in the Mccall stoppage he actually got up and wasn't out.
