    LOL - and this is where you are going all wrong. This is not a debating board it is a discussion board. But there is plenty little of discussion with yourself as your single minded aim, that taints all your posts, is to denigrate a particular fighter.

    It is sad to see self professed fans carry on like fools as though their internet crusade means a damm to anyone - the fact that you are getting used to the insult's really means that you are oblivious to the interesting things happening in the boxing world. We just had a weekend of great fight yet your focused on a great fighter who is well retired with millions in the bank, beautiful wife, child and home and whom is given, not demands, respect worldwide from everyone in the industry. I am sure LL sits up at night and wonders about your indepth knowledge of his career.

    Compare that to your internet achievements and smoke it!:yep

    No, no. Hagler was on the list of guys with GREAT chins that I made because someone said something like there's no such thing as a great chin.

    I think I may have solved the Lewis issue. I found this picture of him:

    You have a very selective memory. What about Frank Bruno, Gary Mason, Mike Weaver, Tony Tucker, Phil Jackson and Razor Ruddock, all noted punchers and all of whom Lewis fought before he joined with Manny Steward. If his chin was glass why didn't any of them knock out the 'old' Lewis? You mentioned that Lewis was smart enough to take out Ruddock early but why didn't he take Bruno in the same way? Or don't you regard a man with 38 KOs in 40 wins as a genuine banger? Gary Mason had 34 KOs in 37 wins. Perhaps because he retired with eye retina issues soon after the Lewis fight you've never heard of him? Mike Weaver, an oft beaten veteran but whatever else the man could punch.

    Enough of this Lewis 'glass jaw' **** already. Lewis had an average chin at world class level. You simply do not go 14 years with just 2 knockdowns if you have a glass jaw, unless your name is Willie Pep or Pernell Whitaker. Last time I checked Lewis was neither.

    EDIT: I just saw your post above. You are clearly an idiot.

    Lennox Lewis?? Ok, let's put it this way; if he had an "Egg Chin" then he also must have one of the Best Defenses and be the most evasive fighter in history. Here's a list of fighters he stepped in the ring with that COULDN'T crack that "egg chin". Also, please note that he fought both guys that KO'd him a second time and they didn't even make him flinch.

    Ruddock
    Bruno
    Akinwande
    Morrison
    Mercer
    Holyfield
    Tyson
    Klitschko
    Briggs
    Grant
    Tua

    Then Rahman and McCall.

    Looking at this guys resume it's ****ing laughable how anyone puts Holyfield or Tyson above him :deal Lewis = Top 5 All-time for sure......but he's in my Top 3 All-Time :good

    Or is supposed to be..

    Exactly. And these fickle fans perpetuate the sheltering of fighters because it now seems the way of the world that you get more props (and cash from the perceived marketability) from beating up an endless amount of outclassed fighters whilst adding no losses in your career then working hard, rebounding from defeat to definitively avenge a loss and become undisputed once more.


    A technique flaw and bad luck in one fight and complacency in another does not equal a glass jaw or even hint at it. If any of these armchair critics was hit by either of those shots or indeed any shot thrown by a pro fighter they would run for cover, never to be seen in the gym again. That is imagining they got off the couch in the first place.

    so...
    let me get this straight..

    If a guy is clipped on the chin by a hard punch he hasn't seen coming and goes down from it, he is glass chinned??

    Get real, man.

    No, anybody can get knocked out. That's not it.

    It's getting 1-punch KO'd that really separates Lewis from the pack. Sure, there are plenty of bums who get 1-punch KO'd all the time (Fraudley Harrison), but not many 'all-timers' who have twice been 1-punch KO'd in their prime. That's where the china chin comes in. And the same goes for RJJ (although some would argue he was no longer in his prime when he got twice 1-punch KO'd).

    Lewis was a very good champion, once Manny Steward taught him how to hide his chin and clinch. Before that, he was a 1-punch KO loss waiting to happen. Fortunately for him, most of the guys he fought before getting with Steward couldn't take his punches, so they never got to land anything good of their own on Sir Glass Chin. When they did (Briggs, Bruno), they shook Lewis. It wasn't the hardest thing in the world to do.

    Oh, and McCall's trainer when he KO'd Lewis?

    Manny Steward.
