Lennox Lewis had a decent chin

[lennon]

I think lewis's chin is underrated but he was out on his feet in the mcall fight and would have been kayoed. as devastating as the holmes knock down was he got up fairly clear eyed and steady where as lewis's eyes were clearly glazed and he fell back toward the ropes prompting the ref to stop it

The difference is that Holmes got up amd staggered and then wobbled away from the referee, even at the actual count of 10 he was moving away from the referee so got that extra time whereas Lewis was up at 6 and the ref waved it off at 8. Holmes was out on his feet and a modern day ref would have stopped him, certainly under the same criteria the ref from the McCall fight would have.

that Rahman punch was a bomb and the single greatest punch Rahman ever threw. That would have knocked out 95% of heavyweights. I haven't seen the McCall fight so I can't comment.

Just for you here it is

I didn't listen to the song as I've got the little boy asleep next to me and have the sound off at the moment.

What did you make of the knockout and stoppage.

He could have got a bit of time, he wobbled but when he put his gloves up, he looked relatively steady on his feet. That said it's all in the eyes. Not the worst stoppage ever.

Not the worst by a long way. There's a case for and against, but I would like to have seen him just given the chance but we will never know and can only speculate as to what might have been.

This is a chin of strength.

You know that. How many champions have faced so many big hitters as Lewis has and only 2 knockdowns in 14 years. Haters just point to those 2 defeats and fail to look at it objectively and then claim he has a glass jaw.

It wasn't granite but it was bloody good and there have been many worse.

Agreed, Lewis is a credit to his race, the English race. Lewis is the G.O.A.T, next to only God.
