    Sanders hit him very hard as well, though it was more of a sneaky counter shot. Regardless, hurt him very badly. Had him staggering all over the place, desperate to clinch. Made him flop to his knees as well.

    You can't be the heavyweight champ of the world if you have an aweful chin.

    yeah, Vitaly took a monster uppercut from Lewis. An uppecut like that would knock Lewis out cold.

    Vitali said he saw all of the shots Lewis threw at him, so its not that big of a deal.

    Despite all of that, he lost the only time he ever faced anyone elite. Had Lennox been in shape and prepared, he would've had Vitali out of there in 4 rounds max.

    OK, so from you I learned that Lennox Lewis was never hurt by a punch, when we saw him down or out it was because he was tired. He would've beat everybody if not for "insert excuses here". He has iron chin and pretty much indestructible. All the videos on youtube of him getting his ass kicked are probably fake. Just computer animations created by Klitschko fans.

    Spectactical, to borrow a term from a decidedly chinnier great.

    Where's all these vids of Lewis getting his arse kicked on yt???


    Lewis had a very solid chin which was well above average, the only time it let him down was when he was complacent.

    If Lewis was focused (which he mostly was) then his chin was very solid and hard to dent. Touching the canvas twice in 25 years does not mean you have an average chin. lol

    between average and good

    If good is 7 and average is 6, about 6.5

    his chin wasn't that bad, most of that comes from the first schemeling fight, which is bull****, he got hit with so many right hands his face became disfigured from one side in that fight and he finally went down

    disagree - his biggest weakness was complacency and laziness.

    Iron chin? lol You can make a carefully edited video for Amir Khan where he takes a punch or 2 and call it Khan has an iron chin.
    Lewis was hurt million times and KOed. I already posted all the vids so go back and watch them.

    I bet out of 96 people, who voted that Lewis has a good chin,90 are alts of this obsessed guy TKO6.
    Every time there a new post about Lewis all of a sudden new members pop up everywhere who know every ESB poster like they've been here for years.
