Why Do So Many Great Punchers Have Suspect Chins?

julio cesar chavez? well i would'nt really consider him a puncher considering he wore you down then knocked you out

chavez rarely tried to take your head off.he was always steady breaking his opponent down.

i beg to differ, see sig.

I've always said that was one of the best 1-2's in recent boxing history.
Make no mistake, Lennox could crack.

I've noticed this trend also. It maybe their training habits. They may train for power and punching rather than endurance and stamina.

Jaidon Codrington, Lennox Lewis could be added to that list.

Lennox Lewis had a very good chin actually. I defy anyone with knowledge to disagree with that.

Please don't mention Amir Khan! Some people still think he is a puncher.

Lewis was not that chinny, he got caught cold when he underestimated a couple of Division 2 HW's. HW's are a different case.

Please don't mention Amir Khan!

You just did you spaz.

I do too. Lewis had one punch KO power. See Lewis-Ruddock,Lewis-Botha-Lewis-Grant, Lewis Rahaman 2,Lewis-Weaver, Lewis-Briggs...........

Nah i dont agree..
He had heavy hands and could hurt and Ko fighters when he choose not
to fight safety first but i wouldnt class him has a puncher
