    Bruce Seldon fell from the wind a couple of times I seem to remember. Moorer was a bit shaky too. Herbie Hide from Bowe onwards.

      Paterson was 188 pounds and not even a real heavyweight. That's why people should realize heavyweight boxing was a joke back in the 50s and 60s.

      Michael Grant
      Tommy Morrison

      Both had bad chins.

            Nice way to contradict yourself!

            Yet Grant & Morrison both over 225lbs were "chinny", doesn't get any dumber than this!

            "not a real heavyweight? What is a "real heavyweight?
            There are no weights associated with fighting at heavyweight. There is NO limit don't you know that?

              If a guy became heavyweight champion at 180 lbs, doesn't that mean we should be giving them more respect?

              That's kind of like Kovalev knocking Anthony Joshua the fk out.

                Lewis went down twice in his career, that's hardly several. Granted he never beat the count on those occasions. Lewis had a decent enough chin, his fights with Bruno, Mercer and Klitschko showed it's not always easy to get rid of him.

                  Most heavyweights can be knocked out with one punch surely.

                  Bruno was such a good guy but you would be waiting for him to get lamped and it was basically like someone turned him off. He was an absolute sitting duck then.

                  I always remember Lewis getting knocked out by Rahman and I watched that and thought is it even possible to hit someone harder. Then Lewis hit him harder in the rematch, lol.

                    People always said Floyd was "chinny" but I think it's a load of BS. He was only KO'd by Sonny Freaking Liston and Ingemar Johannson for god's sake...

                      Its wlad no doubt. Dude gets rocked by jabs. He just did a very great job of protecting his chin once he got with steward.
