The Lennox Lewis chin debate

[King Koyle]

Lewis had a decent chin IMO.If he didn't,I don't think that he would have been able to take shots from guys like Mercer,Tua,Tyson,Morrison,Briggs, etc his whole career.

[PATO 1]

i think the thread should really be about whether those koes prevented him
from being a great. personally id say hes a great because he was such a
dominant force, even after both ko losses, plus hes one of the scariest
heavyweights ive ever seen, only beaten by "ironed" mike tyson IMO.

lewis would have looked as scary tyson if he had fought the fighters in his prime tyson fought

i dont know if i could say the same for tyson

Lewis could take a flush Rahman right hand

Evidenced by this video it was the accumulation of rights that got him, the right hand at the end of this clip was 30 seconds before the ko, i think he was definatley hurt, taking another while hurt is what stopped him, it was no way a one punch ko in the true sense of the phrase!

good point, most of the guys tyson demolished where made for him, fat,
tall, weak chinned, weak minded or a combination of the 4. lewis would of
also mademincemeat out of them IMO, i still think tyson would of done well
against lewis's opposition tho

[lennon]

Would the lewis that fought mercer in 96 of beaten the tyson that fought holyfield?
It would of been a good fight, lewis was in court at the time before the mercer fight to try and secure a tyson fight.

[KLUGMAN]

The Mason fight... that ref was no joke. Check the shades.

GLASS. He's one of the most lucky fighters in history, he was so untalented by earned so much more money than most talented fighters, just because he was a Heavyweight. Beating a spent Tyson is no claim to greatnees. Maybe if they had of fought in 88 it would have been a different story.

I hate and mean hate Lewis, but to say Lewis is untalented means 1 of 2 things:

You've either never seen him fight.
You're either fully or partially ******ed.

Up until this current point in boxing time, he is the best "super-heavyweight" to ever lace them up.

[dempseyfan]

He couldn't take any shots off me. You know why? Because I've met him and I'd never even attempt to hit that big bastard!

Is an approachable guy that likes talking with fans or is he a grumpy ass? I wouldn't try hitting either, quick shin kick maybe.


Just kidding.
