Common myths in boxing

[New England]

Because he suffered two stoppage defeats, Lennox Lewis had a weak chin.

Lewis got big shots from plenty of heavyweights without going down (Vitali and Briggs landed big on him and he fought though it, for example).

lewis fought tons of punchers. his chin is criminally underrated.

Yeah cause nobody has ever landed a desperation haymaker...I'm the idiot...ok, stay red my friend....

I'll say it again, there's no such thing as a lucky punch in boxing. I could throw a hundred hay-makers in a round, that's my choice... it's the opponent who has to nullify anything that I do. Pacquiao did not. It was not a lucky punch.

I completely agree on sweet pea but I'm curious about the mosley thing? Why don't you think he is skilled?

It is not exactly put the best way, but I don't know how many times through Mosley's career people told me how good a technical boxer he was. It is not like he was a total hack as a technician in the ring better than most in fact but people made him out to be a far better boxer than he ever was.

Ah right I see what you mean. Tbh I always thought mosley relied too much on power and speed, which slowed down as he got older

mosley also had an amazing chin in his prime. he was a very rough go at 135 and 147, but it wasn't because of how skilled he was. he was extremely talented. hard puncher, very fast hands and explosive feet, and a great chin. that's the whole package, in terms of the athletic talent you bring with you to the sport.
