Who has a better chin: Wlad or Lennox?

i agree with torino on this subject. don't really believe too much in the concept of having a strong "chin" as boxers say.

too many variables contribute to knockdowns and knockouts to be purely calculatable. these include, at the time of a ko or kd, the fighters stamina, balance or position, punishment endured up to that point, seeing the punch coming, etc.

one thing you can't question about wladimir, however, is his heart and desire to box. how many other fighters would've endured as much **** as he took, and not be bitter about it?

as weak as lennox's chin was, it wasnt as bad as wlad's. however, wlad has a million times more heart than lewis ever had. so i think wlad comes out ahead in this category.

I don't get this comment. Where does everyone get this weird idea that Wlad has more heart than Lewis? I mean, yeah, he keeps trying when he's hurt, but when did Lewis ever give up, or just mail it in, or get intimidated and beatdown? Uh, like never?

Who cares man?

The bottom line is that these two so called "china chins" got/will go much farther ahead then their "iron chin" counterparts...

So really what does it matter in the end?

Id rather have skills over chin...having a good chin is just a good bonus.

First off i am not a Lewis fan but it is funny as shyt when people still say he has a bas chin.He took the best Bruno and Morrison had to offer with out being bothered.
The McCall knocked down was a fluke thing.Lewis was throwing a punch and McCall threw his quicker knocking Lewis down.He got back to his feet like a man.Rahman knocked Lewis down because he had his hands down clowing around and got hit right on the tip of the chin.Ali was knocked down and almost out by Cooper with one punch and if Ali was fightting today that fight would of been stopped.
Alot of guys have worse chins than Lewis.In general Lewis has a pretty good chin.And so does Wlad.Wlad was only knocked out by Sanders.The other loses came because of Fatigue.But anyway i would say Lewis has the better chin between the 2.

Lennox Lewis... Easy -

lewis has the better chin but definately doesnt have as much heart as wlad, so I would say if it came down to a real fight wlad would knock the **** out of lewis but as far as chin individually Lewis has a better one.

what skills did lennox posses that wlad doesnt? Wlad has more power, more heart, probably more speed, maybe not as much stamina but even thats questionable until fight night to see who was in better physical and mental shape. Wlad has and alway had more athleticism than Lewis had in his whole career so you tell me why you feel different.
