    A hard to define question as he was twice Ko'd based off one big punch. These are heavyweights and if you fight enough, odds are you're getting stopped. Fans really don't understand how hard some of these guys hit. I suggest holding heavy bag for one of them in the gym ( Thumbs in ). You'll see. Good chins are uncommon.

    With Lewis, you could argue his ego was as big of an issue as his chin. I think his chin was suspect to power punchers, and his recovery ability was below par. The trouble was getting to it. Lewis was an excellent boxer at any range, had a reach advantage ( 84" ) and really did not gas, plus he hit a ton.

    Chins are best graded when landed upon, NOT based on who you fought. For example Tua was certainly a puncher, but what did he land on Lewis? See my point?

        Solid post.

        Agree with the bold. Tua didn't land one good punch on Louis.

              The video you posted in nonsense.

              And the idea all Heavyweights have glass chins is laughable.

                Getting knocked out, especially at heavyweight, doesn't mean you have a glass chin. Rahman and McCall, in particular, could crack.

                Doesn't seem like you have much respect for the sport. These big boys are throwing bombs.

                  Lennox was one punch knocked out by a journeyman.
                  TWICE.

                  Louis is mr glass.

                      Ray Mercer was involved in fixed fights. So his power is kind of suspect tbh.

                      He beat Lennox though and got robbed.
