Lewis' chin is one of the best ever in the HWs

Rewatch Lewis V Rahman.

 

Was Mercer a big puncher ? (Serious question, not trying to say Ray was a Jimmy young kind of puncher).

 

He did a few times.

 

After watching Mercer/Lewis i came away believing Ray Mercer had an alltime great chin. Lewis took some good shots as well. Not as many Square the way Ray took them.

 

The voice of reason, sanity at last, there is none so blind as those who WILL not see.... keep well.

 

Exactly that there weren’t major blows up to the knock out. That Lewis chin was done after a single punch. That Lewis, while possessing a good chin did not have the great one you seem to believe he did.

 

I'm not mocking him or anything. I asked this question because i seriously have no real idea about it.
In general, the number of KO's are not always real statistic in determining power. You also have to factor in who the fighter fought and knocked out.
I'm not sure if the fighters he has been in the ring with ever talked about Mercer's power the way fighters talked about the truly great KO Kings like Liston, Foreman, Tyson or Shavers.
But i certainly know that those 26 KO's were against not so relevant fighter, with exception of Morrison and maybe diamenie. And the Duke himself was not an Iron chinned fighter.

 

Despite all that if he had an iron chin he could have taken that one punch without going to the canvas. You are a fan of Lennox, great, but no amount of word play changes the fact he was knocked out cold by a single punch and that does not happen to Cast Iron Chinned boxers by definition.

Most people seem to agree since they have him with a “B” or “C” level chin according to your poll.

You seem to want your point validated instead of discussed so I’ll leave it at that.

 

After many many punches. Not one.
