Lennox Lewis had an Iron chin

Yep. His chin was a big factor in his huge success. It was only the two punches in his whole career that he couldn't take, and he reversed those defeats.

 

Playing Devil's Advocate here, but didn't McCall and Rahman expose him to a degree?

 

Fair enough. Not everyone will take every punch well. He did do better than most.

 

Well not iron. But it was good IMO.

 

One should spend the time compiling a list of ATG fights who were down the same number of times or more than Lewis.

Let's see, Tyson, Foreman, Holmes, Ali, Louis, Dempsey, Frazier, Liston,

this is of the top of my head there may well be others and quite honestly, I think the fighters Lewis fought were by and large bigger and harder hitting than most of his comp faced.

 

Dont bring up facts.

Lewis will never be given his credit because he's not American, despite owning Holyfield, Tyson et all.

 

Buzz off with the American crap. Do you have proof? Lewis is rated by many Americans as a top 10 HW ever....so what is your beef?

 

I agree. He certainly doesn't have a chin like McCall, Tua, or Mercer but it's a lot better than most people give him credit for. :good

 

Lewis had a iron chin???

What's next? Fraudley is George Chuvalo?? :rofl :rofl

 

I think Lewis' chin was fine but you can't judge someone's chin just my the # of times they've been down. Look at Cotto, he's only been down once but I don't think anyone believes he has an iron chin.

 

Jesus this is the 8th time ive seen this thread. You guys love LL, we get it, now move on!

 

rumor is superheavyweight is audley harrison...

if so, **** off superheavyweight.

 

Lennox Lewis didn't have an iron chin. He had a good chin though.

 

He faced more good fighters of his generation than anyone and went down twice. Pretty damn good.
