    Let me reiterate.

    I said after talking about Norton going 50+ rounds with Ali and Holmes -

    Again, where is the error?

    Again.. you know perfectly what i mean,And if you are using the ali fight as argument(ali "stopped" foreman cause he was gassed in África and Then ali could not stop norton).
    If you are insinuating that you can argue that norton had better chin than foreman based on this bunch of ****.. the only thing that you prove is that you are the village idiot

    How old are you, seriously?

    Your competence in childishness would be somewhere about 3 levels above Monzon's ability to take a punch, Ali's popularity and Tiger Wood's ability to cheat.

    As soon as Foreman's mentioned you go all googoo and gaga beyond the point of embarrassment.

    You throw up Norton's chin as if to say Louis' is even worse. I point out some facts and you throw the toys out of the pram.

    The simple fact of the matter is Norton went 50+ rounds with Ali and Holmes, whilst Foreman could not go 8 with Ali. I don't give two hoots whether Foreman was gassed, drugged or whatever else you want to throw in there. The simple fact is he was ko'd by Ali.

    Look up what knocked out means Einstein

    It's no good having a great chin if a puff of wind can knock you down after a few rounds.

    Who insinuated Norton had a better chin than your hero Foreman and is arguing it numbskull? As i am trying to tell you Norton's chin was not as poor as you INSINUATE.

    The guy was stopped 4 times in a 50 fight career spanning 14 odd years.

    His first stoppage was avenged and there's a few factors surrounding it, including inexperience and dedication.

    His second was to peak Foreman, and a nuthugging fangirl like you sure ain't gonna say that's any cause for embarrassment.

    His third was at around 36yrs of age, and was to Shavers. Numerous opponents that fought both Shavers and Foreman tell us Shavers hit even harder. So many in fact that it's not even in dispute. So a guy that has every chance of being the hardest puncher in history stops a guy of an advanced age and career stage. No shame there.

    Then there's ****ey, a streaking KO puncher that mugs a Norton heading rapidly toward 40.

    In between Norton fought and defeated many decent fighters and punchers. Around his prime his chin was only ever cracked by Foreman. As said, he went 50+ with Ali and Holmes who stopped many many men. Again, Ali ko'd Foreman. He also stopped plenty of other big men, including your other sweetheart Ron Lyle. Holmes stopped his share of big men too.

    More so than his chin there is a possibility Norton used to choke up against big punchers. That reminds me i have to post my promised Eddie Futch comments in that other thread sometime really soon.

    Oh Jesús what a boring long bible.i did not read even 20 words of your ****py testament,i am not patient enough. The only fact here idiot,is that the stoppage of ali over foreman has nothing to do with the chin of foreman or the ali power,foreman tired himself,norton could get knocked out clean early,foreman never. chinny shavers also lasted longer against ali ,and still got knocked out by a nobody like standers or destroyed by lyle, my point is the next... lasting against holmes and ali was not any proof of having good chin because they were not punchers.norton could not take a punch from a puncher you big idiot.shavers laughed when a journalist did ask him who did hit harder holmes or lyle... taking blows from ali and holmes are proof of nothing

    So Spanish doesn't have paragraphs? :lol:

    Here's the question of the day -

    Name a top 10 Heavyweight besides George Foreman that the feather fisted Jimmy Young ever knocked down?

    I think the Lewis chin/durability stocks just rose ;)

    Knocked down what, twice in his entire career? Foreman's got him covered there.

    If chin includes ability to take a punch at the later stages of a fight and/or when fatigued Foreman's not exactly infallible.

    Strangely enough one could make a case that second career non peak Foreman had better durability than peak Foreman. He was no-where near as good a fighter but paced himself much better.

    a knock down is not a knock out big idiot eat ****, then ali was down by banks,frazier and cooper, marciano was down by walcott and moore not even hws ( probably more, but i can´t remember now). and these 2 guys had better chin than lewis troll piece of ****, and not, the chin has nothing to do with stamina. old foreman had the best chin in the history of boxing in every single division and the young version was a top 10 for sure in this department.
    lewis was not KNOCKED DOWN TWICE IN HIS CARRER, HE WAS KNOCKED THE **** OUT

    Seeing as you are obsessed with rewriting history can you tell us who really won WW2?

    For the record in the McCall fight Lewis was up at 6 and stopped on his feet by the referee. That is NOT getting KTFO. Foreman in Zaire however, was indeed KTFO. :hi:

    knocked the **** out by single shots 2 times , foreman gassed cause the clime of africa and he underestimated the durability of ali, early in the fight foreman took the ali shots like nothing, still ali had to land a combination of blows to drop him,great difference.( still foreman never ever got knocked out, his trainer told him keep in the floor to rest and now get up, when he was going to get up the fight was over):hi:

    I agree Foreman/Dempsey trolls a lot, but I also think Foreman had a better chin than Norton.

    Foreman did gas in the Ali fight, and took punches from much bigger punchers than Ali

    Norton lasted against Ali and Holmes but crumbled against several big hitters.

    And one of the guys to stop Norton, Jose Luis Garcia, was fairly mediocre.

    Looking at their careers in totality, I would say Foreman had the better chin.

    Also, Norton's recuperative powers once hurt were weak.

    Foreman proved, especially against Lyle, that he could recover when badly hurt.
