    Well, that's all speculation.

    But what's NOT speculation is that Lewis did get taken out early by McCall and Rahman - which makes him the ONLY top level HW champ taken out early by fighters on that level, the ONLY one!:yep

    Lewis's chin isn't grade A china, but it's not that solid either. The record shows that. :nod

    I'd rate Lewis's chin as shaky to good

    Lennox's chin is fine, the shot that starched him vs. Rahman would've KO'd just about anyone. It's not a chin weakness, it's the fact he let Rahman land it in the first place. He didn't take him seriously & he paid for it. Normally Lewis has a much better defense, that was just a huge mistake vs. a good puncher at exactly the wrong time.

    Ruskull is right,lewis had a good enough chin to beat many great punchers who occasionaly landed.. Yes he got kod twice,but both times he made big mistakes that he avenged emphatically and corrected,plus this is heavyweight boxing. Joe louis (many peoples number 1.) got koed by schmelling and got knocked down and hurt by numerous fighters. Marciano got knocked down by a lt heavy in moore. Ali got badly hurt by cruiser cooper,holy got badly hurt by bert cooper and kod clean by bowe,tyson got koed by douglas and holy,need i go on?

    Are you winkys mum or something? How many punchers outside trinidad has he fought? He got floored five times in one fight v vasquez.

    Is it possible that there are different types of punch resilience? It seems that Lewis was doing quite well absorbing good shots over several rounds from Mercer , Vitali and others but was vulnerable to single monster shots. Some fighters can absorb the single monster punch but succumb to accumulated pressure.

    Mosley is not a puncher at 154,and if even if we believe only one of the knockdowns v vasquez was legit he was still hurt wasnt he?
    Hopkins made him cry like a baby with his head,that hurt!? :smoke

    So in the legit kd he wasnt hurt?
    You know winky gave mosley a free shot,thats not the sign of a puncher is it? You think winky would give trinidad a free shot?
    And beating vargas is special,was he not past his best?
