Who had a better chin, Lewis or Foreman?

On with the bs of rahmans punch would have done the same to other heavy weights. Tyson, holyfield, ali, Foreman beg to differ. Lenni is just a girl.

 

Exactly. It is funny how over rated lenni chinny girly can't take a punch to the face lewi is.

 

I put him either 1 or 2 on the all time list.his main was fault was less his chin but the fact that he wasn't always 100% fit when he entered the ring.
He wasn't 100% when he battered the better of the 2 klits but still took him apart.
His ko's of Golota and Ruddock were brutal.

 

No doubt he has extraordinary punching power and that he was a very talented smart capable boxer. A lot of boxers got intimidated by his size, weight, reach but it was not that he could not be put away. The boxers he mostly fought were not good enough and his main challengers ie holyfield and Tyson were shot when he smartly decided to fight them when he did.

The same excuses that he never came into the ring at 100% but when he did he always took care of Business can also be made for Tyson.

The fact is that Tyson even in his losses when it was clear he didn't even come in at 30% should an incredible set of whiskers and was man enough to survive brutal punishment as long as he did unlike chinny boy.

A great fighter lenni but not in the top 5 maybe somewhere closer to top 10 sure. But the way he lost the matches that he did needs to go against him. Sorry you can't be a great heavy weight if you have gone down by one big shot to the face when you weren't even sucker punched.

 

You seem a bit of a spastic.

 

Obviously Foreman. No need for this thread, really.

 

Foreman has the better chin. But then again Lewis had a very good chin. He tooks bombs from a lot of guys. His knockout losses were more about being hit on the sweet spot in the biggest punching division of the sport than having a bad chin.

 

Amen to that:good

When you have (lol) besides the name of one of the fighters it makes the whole exercise a farce.

 

Just to throw a spanner in...Foreman was discernibly rocked early in the Ali fight by right hand leads. Right hand leads that were essentially arm punches as Ali didn't move or bend his legs or turn his shoulder. Can't see Lennox being overly troubled by those. Lewis, when McCall kayoed him, got nailed by a right hand where Oliver had generated momentum with the left hook which lifted Lewis' chin into position, and turned his whole body into the punch, compounded by Lewis throwing a simultaneous heavy punch himself. Huge bomb that blindsided Lewis. Then they both got kayoed in Africa when they were knackered; Foreman from hitting Ali and Lewis from hitting nightclubs when filming Oceans 11. Other than that, Lewis' chin, just like Foreman's (apart from against Lyle) stood up to some heavy punches. So this is not the no-brainer that swag and UFC are making it out to be. Just saying.

 

And I'm saying the same thing.
