Or were his two knockdowns/knockouts purely the result of poor ring decisions and sloppiness? I've seen him take monster shots in extended slugfests from hard, HARD punchers like Gary Mason and Vitali Klitschko. When he wasn't tripping over his own two feet eating a Oliver McCall punch to the face or bouncing off the ropes absorbing punches with his face once again (Aka being an idiot) he was never even off his feet. And there's no doubt he faced a scary array of huge punches. Not a invulnerable chin. Not even a granite one. But the man COULD take a punch when not doing the tying himself in knots crap he did earlier in his career.

To be honest, I don't think so. I genuinely believe Rahman hurt him more than once in their first fight for starters, and the KO didn't come completely out of the blue as many think. That's my personal opinion. He did face quite a few big punchers and he did get hit with some big shots, but I still believe that for an elite fighter, his chin was mediocre.
Yes, Lennox did absorb big punches from big punchers. So saying that he had a brittle chin is just not correct. But he did get stopped twice - that's also true. In my view, he had a good enough chin but there was a ***** in his armour (read chin), somewhere. So that would place him out of the top rung when 'granite jaws' are discussed. You could never know who or when somone would find that *****.
Come on, I had no intention of using the word in that sense. They are really our neighbours and we are now on fairly good terms with them.:rofl
I didn't know about that censor! So there's a person of Asian descent in his armour? Does he know about this?
They figured being off Brittish, Canadian and Jamaican decent was enough already. This is one well hidden *****!
